Delete or merge as was proposed over a year ago, to Walauwa, which is itself an unsourced mess.... 99.136.254.88 (talk) 20:31, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A 200-year-old manor house in Europe would certainly be considered to be notable. No reason to make an exception for one elsewhere. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:46, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. If RS can be added, however the article needs to be cleaned up. Cossde (talk) 17:54, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Despite the difficulties in sourcing , it seems clear this is a notable manor house. It would not in my opinion make sense to merge it into the general article on Sri Lankese manor houses, any more than we would merge a borderline notable castle into the article on castles--it would be excessive weight.
