PROMO. Gsearch goes straight to social media sites. "Well-known" without any media coverage. Flowery text as well. Oaktree b (talk) 15:59, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • After some research, i found this person made huge amount of contributions for Sinhala language and helped many Sri Lankan people to read with native language. Wikipedia is nothing without users or articles and i think this article should not be deleted. 112.134.166.186 (talk) 16:10, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please give sources to prove that. I can't speak the language and can't find any in my native language either. Oaktree b (talk) 21:19, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: Media coverage should be google or other search engines only? Local media and newspapers not counted?
Why this person needs promo here when there is plently of articles in newspapers and radios? In page 17, there is a full page article about him https://web.archive.org/web/20140626154400/http://lakbima.lk/oldpapers/ngenaration/2014.06.09.pdf, If newspapers are not reliable sources, can someone advise me what are the reliable sources wikipedia uses?
Question for All English users asking to delete this article: If articles or media coverage not in English, articles should be deleted? If Yes, then how other millions of articles which are not in english not deleted yet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by පසිඳු කාවින්ද (talk • contribs) 07:13, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@පසිඳු කාවින්ද: Dude, I speak Sinhala. I could not find any worthwhile sources about you. See for yourself.

Radio or print interviews do not testify for notability, I am afraid. Chanaka L (talk) 07:49, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So you are saying notability is only exist in search engines and above sources right? If Radio and Newsapappers exluded, please go ahead and delete the article because i think your only goal is to delete the article :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by පසිඳු කාවින්ද (talk • contribs) 08:12, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Salt Pasindu Kumara and Pasindu Kavinda Kumara. Clear failure to satisfy WP:ANYBIO. No WP:RS demonstrating any notability and it is simply a translator doing their job. Previous deletion and recreation by a user whose name suggests an undisclosed COI is reason enough to salt the pages. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:33, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Adding to my comment: the page creator's talk page has a comment by himself, referring to himself as Pasindu Kavinda. This definitely looks like an undisclosed COI. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:54, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Simply a translator doing their job? may be for You. This person have contributed more than 50,000 translations for free to make Sinhala available for Facebook according to meida. Just doing their job right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by පසිඳු කාවින්ද (talk • contribs) 09:08, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, translating is what translators do. Not sure what the issue is, we need reliable, extensive discussions about the subject in non-related media. Oaktree b (talk) 11:52, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am wikipedia user since 2007 and i saw there were good admins by that time, let's see how admins react to this discussion not based on their personal feelings like people here desperatly want to delete every article, but like a true wikipedia user :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by පසිඳු කාවින්ද (talk • contribs)
  • Speedy delete and Salt: It seems this qualifies as unambiguous promotion and G11 material. The only editor who has made any substantive edits to the article is clearly the subject of the article, as evidenced by the private message shared, and there appear no reliable sources supporting notability, as stated by others in this discussion. Jguglielmin (talk) 09:32, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Even the user from Sri Lanka here User:Chanakal wants to delete the article badly it seems no support for Sri Lankan people here, please go ahead and delete it i have no regread :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by පසිඳු කාවින්ද (talk • contribs) 09:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete promotion and G11 material, No SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth from Ind RS. BLPs need clear and reliable sourcing for content and notability.  // Timothy :: talk  10:19, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
