Thisarana Arama

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Repeatedly declined draft (see Draft:Thisarana Arama) copied and pasted over to main space with no attempt to address issues. Searching the Sinhalese and Tamil names for this organisation comes back with zero useful results. Simple English and Sinhalese Wikipedia articles for this organisation also contain no decent sources. English searches come back with their Facebook page and little else.

This article has essentially two sources, Online Lanka Radio and Susanda Media, both of which are carbon copies of each other and blatant press releases, not independent content at all. 0/10 effort there.

Massive WP:NORG fail; no evidence of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:02, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete likewise no RIS in English, Tamil or Sinhalese. Mccapra (talk) 17:20, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. This was written by a SPA previously named "Thisarana Arama" who was indef blocked in October 2020 for promoting their organisation and was unblocked (and renamed) after promising not to do it again : see . I am creating an WP:ANI thread later on. JBchrch (talk) 17:22, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * - very well spotted. They've completely ignored the conditions of their unblock. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:25, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks 👍 And done. JBchrch (talk) 17:50, 25 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-notable company that fails WP:GNG and SIGCOV. TheChronium (talk) 21:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - meets neither WP:GNG or WP:ORGDEPTH. And salt in light of the activity of the article's creator.  Onel 5969  TT me 23:50, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, clearly fails WP:NORG would appear to be an attempt to circumvent due process by avoiding the AFC process. Dan arndt (talk) 01:35, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: per nom, fails WP:GNG and WP:ORGDEPTH CommanderWaterford (talk) 12:01, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Proposal to WP:SALT Thisarana Arama
Long story short, this organisation is determined to use every trick in the book to get Thisarana Arama an article on enwiki. It has no regard for our principles and processes. It is pretty clear at this point that they will create a new article immediately after the closure of this AfD discussion. I propose that we stop wasting out time and energy and salt the article. JBchrch (talk) 08:36, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Draft article was repeatedly declined at AfC (see Draft:Thisarana_Arama), and yet was copy-pasted onto the mainspace.
 * Article creator was blocked indefinitely twice for promoting Thisarana Arama. In fact, article creator was previously named Thisarana Arama. See
 * We now have WP:OBVIOUSSOCK IPs that are removing the AfC history at the draft article and attempting to expand the mainspace article without adressing the WP:NORG concerns . I guess I'm gonna have to open a WP:SPI later today...
