 * Oppose - Subject is very popular in social media. article will be further improved in future.DilJco (talk) 02:42, 31 July 2015 (UTC) User:DilJco is the creator of this article. Disclosure added per WP:AFDFORMAT.
 * Comment - You need to support those claims with independent verifable sources - not gossip sites & blogs and particularly not sites created by the individual himself. Dan arndt (talk) 04:58, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Many independent verifable sources are already there to support claims & article to be further enhanced in the future.DilJco (talk) 00:00, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - At this stage, all the sources appear to demonstrate is that Wijesekara exists, a fact that is not disputed however there are no references properly cited that establish his notability, i.e.
 * Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.
 * Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
 * Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.
 * Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
 * Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
 * Has won or placed in a major music competition.
 * Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO1E for further clarifications)
 * Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
 * Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
 * Has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
 * In order to be notable the individual needs to have accomplished some notable task, event .... Dan arndt (talk) 01:17, 3 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete lacking independent coverage to meet WP:BIO or WP:CREATIVE. LibStar (talk) 16:23, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose - due to subjects talents & popularity in social media independent coverage is growing and article awaiting to be further enhanced.DilJco (talk) 01:41, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - might I suggest that if that is the case then the article maybe premature and should be re-created when there is sufficient references to establish notability. Dan arndt (talk) 02:29, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Doesn't meet WP:GNG. Youtube links to his videos cannot be considered as reliable sources as they are self published. -- Chamith   (talk)  05:36, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose - seems some one is not seeing the reliable sources that are already there DilJco (talk) 05:33, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - last time I looked blogs, tweets, personal websites, social networking sites were not reliable sources. Dan arndt (talk) 06:34, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - Oh! really. Always there is a next time.DilJco (talk) 05:21, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, not notable enough and his content is not RS. Kierzek (talk) 12:54, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete unless appropriate sources showing evidence of notability are provided. None so far. Single editor who is opposing this: please be aware references need to be extensive (i.e. exclusively cover the subject), be independent and reliable.
