Pulinda Lakshitha Ekanayake

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Has been sent to draft numerous times due to COI/UPE concerns but keeps coming back as the WP:SPA editor insists on posting it again and again. I recommend not only deletion but also WP:SALT to stop this continuous cycle of recreating. No English-language coverage can be found and "පුලින්ද ලක්ෂිත ඒකනායක" only really brings up his Sinhalese Wikipedia article, which, unsurprisingly, was also written by Pulinda himself. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion and this person does not meet WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG. If he ever does become notable, I'm sure someone other than Pulinda will be happy to write an article about him. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:22, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Making a journalist notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia does not entail referencing the article to video clips of him doing his job, or staff directories on the website of his own employer — it entails referencing the article to journalism about him in sources that do not sign his paycheques, representing third party analysis of his significance. That's not what this article is. Bearcat (talk) 19:19, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
