K.K. Saman Kumara

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Poorly referenced BLP that is so poorly written that it is difficult to understand. The subject fails WP:CREATIVE so far as I can tell. It's worth looking at the Google Books results, but the three hits appear only to verify that Kumara is a published author – not to establish notability. Same thing with this and this. Other references in the article are dead links, blogs, Facebook pages, and the like. An addendum I have not searched in any language (or alphabet) other than English because, well, I simply cannot.

 * Comment A part of this article reads like a negative unreferenced BLP, another part like a hoax. Minimum of sources, very little on G-Books, World Cat has no entries about his books, most of his works refer only back to Wikipedia. The book about him doesn't seem to exist, as well as its author. No independent reviews of his books published by reliable sources. Perhaps people familiar with the culture of Sri Lanka could help? --Vejvančický (talk) 22:14, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
