Hi @Spiderone! I have added 3 sections of information through my Talk Page and am currently looking for a discography template that shows the track listing as well. I will submit that too shortly. Could you please review to see if this is enough not to delete? Sri Lanka is only a small country of 25 million, so it is so important to us to have the correct information available about those of us who are contributing to our music here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sri_Lankan_musicians, of which I am one.

I have sent a COI edit requesting the addition of the below references to help verify the information as well:

Hi @Theroadislong,

As promised, I have now submitted the COI requests which include verifiable sources that show:

1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself:

Gresha Schuilling: Her own style. Sunday Observer. Retrieved February 27, 2024.

A rising star in Contemporary Christian Music. The Hologram Blog by Galeorithm Agency. February 27, 2024<meta />

4. 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: Reaching out. Mirror Magazine. Retrieved February 27, 2024.

6. Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles. This should be adapted appropriately for musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g., musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.): Ensembles with Iraj Weeraratne, Dilup Gabadamudalige and Nimal Mendis.

7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.

10. Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, such as a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album. (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 the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications): OPEN EVERY DOOR THE SONG FOR AUTISM. UK Parliament/Early Day Motions. Retrieved February 27, 2024.<meta />

11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network: Reaching out. Mirror Magazine. Retrieved February 27, 2024.<meta />, Radio Sri Lanka (SLBC) mentions Autism Sunday. Vernon Corea. Retrieved February 27, 2024.<meta />

12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network: Reaching out. Mirror Magazine.
