Struggling to find any independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources - lack of WP:SIGCOV. Fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Run-of-the-mill businessman. Promotional article, created by a WP:SPA. Edwardx (talk) 19:20, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Dulith is an Eisenhower Fellow along with being the founder and head of Sri Lanka's largest ecommerce company, Kapruka. He has been covered by several local language newspapers and media agencies, however, most of them are either not online or are not indexed by Google. Moreover, some the news references here cover him in depth: News First, the Sunday Times, The Island, The Sunday Leader, HighBeam, ReadMe DailyFT. Aayan.v (talk) 18:40, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I have no opinion on other claims to notability, but must note that, according to our article, Eisenhower fellowships are granted to people who are "poised to assume positions of substantial influence in their fields". Notability is not based on what someone is poised to achieve. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 14:27, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per the excellent list of sources provided by Aayan.v. Passes GNG based upon that. (That, my friends, is how one does a proper AfD defense...) Carrite (talk) 14:44, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 13:38, 11 September 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Sidelines I'm on the sidelines here, google news does provide about 2-3 reliable sources where the subject of the article is the main person that the news source is about, and google scholar provides 2 citations to him. I'm not sure weather the company kapruka.com or Grasshoppers is notable in terms of a company. However I note that these companies dont have wikipeida articles. -- Eng.
