Aurudu Da

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Assuming it exists, it's not notable. The creator did a loop creating the director and adding things to other articles. I speedied the director but that can't be done for the film, and I'm not confident it's a hoax, particularly because it's foreign. Perhaps there are editors who know more about Sri Lankan sources and can find something. Bbb23 (talk) 22:53, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment: Apparently the film exists: I find it listed (without significant coverage) in a couple of lists of Sri Lankan films, including http://worldheritage.org/articles/List_of_Sri_Lankan_films_of_the_1980s —teb728 t c 23:13, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * In reading the About for the World Heritage Encyclopedia, I can't tell how well vetted the material is. It appears to be a meta-encyclopedia obtaining information from different encyclopedias (perhaps even from Wikipedia). It is then "crowd sourced, referenced, and edited." However, there's no reference for the entry for the film, so where does it come from? Mind you, I'm not saying it doesn't exist, just that it's not clear that the World Heritage would be a reliable source in this instance.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:02, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment: Apparently Nimal Tennakoon is a filmmaker from Sri Lanka, but I cannot find anything about a Sri Lankan filmmaker named Wimal Saman Jayaweera. Perhaps a Sri Lankan Wikipedian might assist?  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 05:19, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I had better luck searching for Saman Jayaweera. —teb728 t c 07:45, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete for being relatively unknown and not covered by reliable sources. IF sources speaking about the film come forward, please ping me.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 03:14, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete I find a couple of mentions but no significant coverage. I hope my comments above did not delay deletion. —teb728 t c 11:40, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
