Insufficient coverage by independent, reliable secondary sources to meet WP:BASIC. Other than social media, most coverage seems to be from newspapers he works for. The awards he's won aren't significant enough to meet WP:ANYBIO. Nothing to suggest he meets WP:JOURNALIST. Obi2canibe (talk) 12:05, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator. May meet WP:A7 criteria for speedy deletion. MB190417 (talk) 12:13, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, Special:Contributions/Rawanasinghe makes for interesting reading; these are the contributions of Rawanasinghe, who created this article. The user himself has also repeatedly recreated an article titled "Info Sri Lanka News". The creator of the article may have a WP:COI and the article's subject's newspaper, Resa (newspaper), should probably also be nominated for AfD (however, it survived a speedy deletion request under WP:A7). Obviously we should only judge whether this article should be deleted by its own merits, but I would suggest these other articles are expanded or nominated for AfD once this is cleared.
