Non-notable human resources manager, fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. GILO A&E⇑ 01:06, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Clearly not notable, didn't pass WP:GNG. Google searches on his name and his native name turns up nothing, there are some hits but it was not him. One was a professor talking about pest-resistant plants, one is Chief Inspector, one died in a terrorist landmine, and one other is a board director. SunDawn (talk) 04:23, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete, clearly fails WP:ANYBIO. None of the sources cited are reliable secondary sources. Based on the article creator's edit history it would suggest that there is a conflict of interest here (i.e. one of the sources cited is an article, Oraltunes.tk, is an article that the editor has repeatedly tried to create, and whilst I note that Perera is a common name in Sri Lanka, the fact that other articles the editor has created appear to have family links - such as Madurawala Maha Vidyalaya, where the principal is listed as Anura Perera, is just very suspicious).

Note to AfD closer - the article's creator has also created an identical article, Athula Sanjeewa, which is currently the subject of a Speedy delete. If a decision is made that this article should be deleted than the other identical article should also be deleted if it hasn't been already. Given the article's creator's propensity to create, re-create and create duplicates I would suggest that this title, if deleted, (as well as that of Athula Sanjeewa) be salted as well.
