Seems to be spammy, not notable, and not in English. Very detailed, but doesn't seem to be a helpful or useful article. PabloMartinez (talk) 17:01, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Donot delete They have enough sources. Not spammy. All are reliable sources that can be found in Sri Lanka. They have won an award in Google I/O also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shenayahewagama (talk • contribs) 19:21, 11 May 2020 (UTC) - note: likely sockpuppet of page creator, see SPI Oh my god, They are saying that all of us are the same guy/girl? comment added by Shenayahewagama —Preceding undated comment added 22:16, 11 May 2020 (UTC) Donot delete This is a very reliable source, Award-winning best tech comminuty in Sri Lanka. Comment added by Senal Evans - note: likely sockpuppet of page creator, see SPI Do not delete They are notable, they are not spammy. They provide great service to their country. It is glad to see that they are in Wikipedia, and they deserve to be in here. They writes in their mother language Sinhala. If they are not in English how can Virakesari in Wikipedia. They are in Tamil. Not in English. Moreover, they have won an award in Google I/O Extended Sri Lanka 2018 as the Tech blogger of the year 2018. All the reliable sources were provided. It should not be deleted. That article got over 130 views within a day. Refer to these stats Stats And more over it was written in Neutral point of view, information published in reliable sources, article were not present new theories, ideas, data, or analysis, Its about them, this is an encyclopidia. Then Why should it be deleted?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Thimirathenuwara (talk • contribs) Thimirathenuwara if you're going to keep removing this signature would you please learn to sign your edits?

• Delete Seems more like WP:PROMO or WP:SPAM than anything else. Not enough reliable sources to present an argument for WP:GNG. The actual website is full of broken links, which is pretty suspicious. Perhaps it deserves an article on the Sinhala wikipedia if there is a case to be made regarding notability according to their criteria? AlexEng^(TALK) 20:41, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

AlexEng if someone searches about them in English, then how could the Sinhala article going to be helpful? Comment added by Thimira Thenuwara

I'm sure I don't know, but I am sure I do not believe they meet notability or verifiability criteria here. AlexEng^(TALK) 20:51, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

I don't think so AlexEng Praxidicae Pablomartinez. I saw that there are a lot of people sharing this article on social media and talk about that. They are very impressive in this article. In your point of view, this will not be notable to you, but in other people who have a value about Androidwedakarayo, this is notable to them. Some of you guys are going to decide to delete this article by consideration from your point of view. May be The Verge will not notable to them, TechCrunch will not notable to them but Androidwedakarayo is notable to the. I saw that and I came here to see what is this Androidwedakarayo and read this. Then I realized that this is a good team. Then I search about them and edit this article with information found from reliable sources. You clearly said, "I'm sure I don't know". That means you really know you don't know about this, and you want to delete this article because you think this is spam. but this is not a spam. This is about Androidwedakarayo. This is what they deserve. If you think that these sources are not enough, goto TechRadar and see what are the sources that they have provided. Only Alexa Ranking, Taboola, Similarweb Blog, SimilarWeb.com. Androidwedakarayo have more reliable sources than TechRadar. But, tech radar is not a spam, it is notable without more sources. But Androidwedakarayo is spam, promo, not notable, sources are not reliable. What is the reason for this discrimination? Comment added byShenaya Hewagama Agree with you Shenayahewagama Comment added by Thimira Thenuwara Once I was in schooling, some of us decided to create an article about our school in Wikipedia. Then we create it in very neutralized tone and submit it into Wikipedia. Next day some contributors decide that this should be not in here then they remove it with noticing put this in Sinhala in Sinhala wiki. But I cannot understand all of us are searching on the Internet in English, why we should put that in Sinhala. No one will search for it in Sinhala. If I said to AlexEng or Praxidicae or Pablomartinez to find about my school will they able to find my school with the reliable source? Wikipedia is the one and only encyclopedia that provides reliable information. That's why everyone came here with reliable sources and put articles to share knowledge. But when a Sri Lankan is here, everyone is going to chase them away from here. That's why they are blind at TechRadar. And TechRepublic also like that, lack of reliable sources. Both of them came here with the same nature of Androidwedakarayo. But they can survive in Wikipedia, But not Androidwedakarayo because it is from Sri Lanka. Totally disappointed with these kinds of decisions. Totally fed up. Comment added byShenaya Hewagama

• Strong DELETE - creator is going nuts here, page is spammy and most edits are by the page creator, not all all a constructive article and all that, basically the same as the above. 21:53, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• Note I really don't understand who the hell is these fools which are calling Wikipedia editors or whatever. Are they blind? I think there are so many ways to recognize the "Android Wedakarayo" on the internet. This is a community based on Sri Lanka, Mainly focusing on "Sinhala Tech Contents". I suggest let the "android wedakarayo" to do their job in here to create their about page in Wiki. These buggers are a joke Senal Evans

No Senalevans, they cannot create an article about themself in here. It should be done by us, the contributors.

Then why you're struggling here. You can delete it. Can you? This is an open and free platform I guess. You maybe a contributor, Anyone can write an article here, if its good and true It should be on Wikipedia. I think so many people searching about this community in Sri Lanka. Now what is your point making here, and misleading the people who review this by saying "This is a Spam". Be a good kind of Contributor. Not a jealousy and annoying one. Thank you!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Senalevans (talk • contribs) 21:45, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• IMPORTANT NOTE to other editors - Currenltly ALL THREE "do not delete" responses are very likely made by sockpuppets of the page creator and this should not influence the result. I mean, check out the compare diagram, it is a cut and dry case of sockpuppeting to influence a AfD. Ed6767 (talk) 22:03, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

I hereby prove that I'm an individual who made this profile in Nov 2, 2018 and I don't know other people that who have commented here. you guys think that these are a same person when some people get united onbehalf of one article. It is very pathetic to see that these kinds of things in Wikipedia. - Thimirathenuwara
