 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. All of the independent "keeps" were qualified (weak, for now, etc.) and the article itself is not BLP quality. Renomination is likely if it doesn't improves significantly. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  12:41, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Prior version was recently deleted at AFD. New version was created, it is essentially a stub on a WP:BLP, and not really sourced that great. Deferring to community consensus, here for a discussion. Cheers. -- Cirt (talk) 14:50, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * hi, I'm still developing this article. Yes, i know the better way to do it is to create article as a "Special My Page" and then move it to public space once it was completed.. But this time i've skipped the "Special my Page" step and it's all my fault.. Anyway, i'll edit the article ASAP to meet necessary criteria.. Help from any Sri Lanka editor gladly welcomed.

 * Very weak keep. Sanka Dineth is covered in reliable sources (The Daily News and The Sunday Times; however, it's not significant coverage: in one case he is mentioned in passing, in the other he gets a three-line short bio and a quote), got an interview on The Nation TV Guide, is claimed to have been selected to promote several prominent brands in Sri Lanka and is credited as the author of the score of a movie (whose notability is disputed). Whilst each of these facts, taken singularly, would not justify an article about him (neither under WP:GNG nor under WP:MUSICBIO, criterion 10), if I look at the big picture I can't help thinking he just might be notable, so I'll !vote (very weak) keep under WP:PAPER.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:05, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep for now - As Salvio said above, the article has a number of slightly significant sources that, when taken collectively, make this singer somewhat notable. Taking this into account along with the article's author's statement above that he is working to expand the article, I say keep for now. — Parent5446 ☯ ([ msg] email) 19:56, 20 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment I am not Agree with User talk:Salvio giuliano,User talk:Parent5446Ideas.In Sri Lanka. There are Upcoming musicians more than 100 come-up to the field evry year. because we have lots of reality television programs in Sri Lanka.Those are getting media publicity using news pares, we blogs very easily. as an example this Sanka Dineth was selected Sirasa Superstar2007 for 6th place. There are  lots of other musicians out side than him.If Wikipedia is a platform or personal blogs space, we should give opportunity create  articles for all this kind of persons who has publicity.--Wipeouting (talk) 18:39, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
