 * Keep, at least until we can have a local look into it. Sri Lanka is obviously a country that is unlikely to have wide internet presence. Deleting because we don't have access to paper sources only promotes systemic bias. - Mgm|(talk) 12:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete absolutely a entirely non-notable subject (no-offense to the person who's article this is about, but still it is not notable). - Dipotassitrimanganate (talk) 16:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep He is well known movie personality in Sri Lanka. He makes Sinhalese films, so the internet won't be the best place to find sources. -- snowolf D4  (  talk  /  @   ) 18:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there an article about him in the Sinhalese Wikipedia? --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 01:26, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * weak Delete Sri-Lanka is not another planet, it has the internet. A Sri-Lankan online newspaper is even cited! (but is a trivial mention). If no other internet sources exist, where are the dead-tree sources? Theis actor is non-notalbe unless sources show otherwise, which they simply don't. Combating systemic bias does not mean condecending to foriegn wikipedians. Everyone is equal, and equally subject to policies and guidleines.Yobmod (talk) 12:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and allow article about this film director and writer to be improved per WP:CSB. No need to delete. I found and added a few more sources, but I need help with non-english sources.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:00, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I weakened my delete in response to this. If someone actually helps the creator understand what is needed, or at least list the article for improvement at WP:CSB, then that would be great. Unfortunately that is not a debate closing option. Maybe it should be!Yobmod (talk) 08:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
