 * Keep I found it in google maps: [] which shows actual boundaries and openstreetmap.org: [] which lists it as a town with a population of 1000. If you look at the article Colombo, it is listed there as a one of about 30 suburbs (not citing WP as a reference), many of which are poorly referenced but all seem to exist.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Satisfies WP:GEOLAND. Remember, AFD is not cleanup. Smartyllama (talk) 17:28, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep and close... The nominator needs to undertake a standard recommended search BEFORE nominating articles like this on Afd. Even a Google news search would have been enough. Pinging on this (as he relisted this).  Lourdes  04:14, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep as above, obvious lack of WP:BEFORE by the nominator, even a very generic Google search shows the existence of this place . While I certainly don't like the current state of the article and I hope some Sri Lankan editor will improve it, AfD is not cleanup. Cavarrone 06:50, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per observations that the place does, in fact, exist. Lepricavark (talk) 04:14, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
