Surya Jayaweera

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An editor WP:CANVASSed me to take the advert tag off this article. This may have been a mistake. Being an obliging soul, I looked at the citations in the article and conducted my own search. I found nothing to get this article past WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. I found nothing more than quotations from him in articles about other topics, and social sites. I found no independent WP:RS sources at all about him. Delete.

This may be the same article as Surya K. Jayaweera, deleted per WP:G11 in 2014. Narky Blert (talk) 00:32, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

I did not mean to canvass, I was mostly concerned about how to better improve the article. But I understand the notion to delete. Are there any references that could be added to improve it? Dodgetherocks (talk) 18:32, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Find and add some sources. I couldn't find any. They don't have to be in English. Sources in e.g. Hindi would be great, so long as they're WP:RS – in particular, if they are independent and are about the topic of the article. Narky Blert (talk) 22:52, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Would this article help? Dodgetherocks (talk) 10:08, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
