I am afraid, this biography does not meet both WP:NBASIC and WP:SONGWRITER criteria. Existing references at best is WP:PASSING. I will add a full source assessment table. Chanaka L (talk) 05:22, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

I Uploaded New References to the article, Most of his references are offline and I found some Newspaper articles related to him. InfoSeeker.sl (talk) 20:43, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

I added the second assessment table. I am afraid, the issue of WP:SIGCOV persists. I did a Google search before the nomination, and it did not yield any worthwhile results, So I am not surprised you are finding it difficult to come up with SIGCOV sources.

I Found Some Newspaper Articles Related to him but those articles couldn't find on the internet. Most of them are Old Newspaper articles and that time few Sri Lankan newspapers published articles on the internet, is there any way to Upload those articles to Wikipedia?
