Draft:Ridma Weerawardena

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Poor sources have included Superatp (talk) 14:10, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article space notability and sourcing requirements do not apply to draft space, see WP:Drafts are not checked for notability or sanity. 192.76.8.91 (talk) 14:43, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sources are valid . My sources come from a very recognized Sri Lankan magazine (Daily News) and the International Labour Organization. How are they considered 'Poor'?. YaSiRu11 (talk) 14:52, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sources have to be third party coverage from media outlets — stuff he wrote about himself in the first person for the "International Labour Organization" does not help to establish his notability, because (a) he wrote it himself, and wasn't the subject of coverage or analysis by a third party, and (b) the International Labour Organization isn't media. As for the other two, if he doesn't have a hard claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and instead you're just shooting for "he's notable because media coverage exists", then it takes a lot more than just two hits of media coverage to get there.

 * Keep. The sources aren't great ones and won't be getting the article accepted at AFC by themselves, but we don't rush to delete articles for notability issues in draftspace — the whole point of draftspace is to allow people to work on articles that need improvement before they're ready for prime time, so people have to be given a reasonable amount of time and guidance to do that and rushing the page into the garbage can after just 12 hours isn't the done thing. Bearcat (talk) 17:23, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - This isn't AFD, and poor sources are not a basis for deletion of drafts unless accompanied by some other issue such as tendentious resubmission. Robert McClenon (talk) 13:55, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NDRAFT. —  csc -1 16:08, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per those above. No reasons for deletion at this venue have been presented. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 16:22, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: This is only draftspace. Standards for drafting are very low. SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:16, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
