Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Biman Liyanage


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Nothing presented here has convinced me that the subject passes WP:GNG. The sourcing in the article is either a passing mention in a promotional piece in local media or all primary sources. Perhaps it is WP:TOOSOON.

Thanks everyone for participating and if you disagree with this decision please take it to Deletion review - unless there is a tech issue. Thanks for assuming good faith and happy holidays! Missvain (talk) 16:52, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Non-notable person - lacks SIGCOV from third party sources. Refs are mostly speaker profiles. KH-1 (talk) 06:04, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: I think it qualifies WP:GNG, and also has a couple of sources. ― Itcouldbepossible Talk 07:26, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I think it may end up being WP:TOOSOON, but there isn't sufficient third-party coverage to to merit a Wikipedia article. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 07:29, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. We have some WP:MILL activities and a few early-career awards that do not contribute much to notability.  The Sunday Observer piece is a small start, but falls far short of WP:SIGCOV.  As it is cross-listed to Academic deletion sorting, I will comment that there is no sign of WP:NPROF.  The article right now indeed borders on WP:A7.
