This seems like a very worthy project and I am a little sorry to tag it for AfD, but unfortunately it does not appear to be at all notable. The references don't mention the subject. If there were a speedy deletion rationale for this type of article I believe it would be eligible, because there is no assertion of significance. In addition there seems to be a COI issue - the article is created by a person closely affiliated with the manager of the project, as disclosed here. bonadea contributions talk 15:23, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

I do not need to promote anything or mislead people saying lies to take personal advantage. I understand well that contents on Wikipedia should be in best quality standards. But, for people on earth like us, especially from such a country like Sri Lanka, it is not very easy to bring 100% accurate proofs on-line. Facilities and technology is not still enhanced like in USA or Europe. For an example there is no any method to verify my husband's primary school and his poetries which published on Sinhala Newspapers sometime ago. But if someone do search on google maps, Kamaragoda Roman Catholic Primary College is searchable. Electronic versions of local newspapers were introdud recently in Sri Lanka. Saddharmarathnakaraya is a very well known historical book in Sri Lanka. But it's impossible to verify the author Wimalakiththi Maha Sthavira. We are really helpless. I have nothing to explain more here. If someone still wants to delete this article, let it to be so. Thanks. Textlover (talk) 22:28, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete None of the sources are about the subject and the citations are being used to mask the lack of notability. The article's proponent pleads guilty as charged. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 23:14, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
