Still no sign of notability nor significant coverage. Cutlass ^Ciera 17:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not sure why we're doing this again - nothing has changed except the subject has apparently paid for more blackhat SEO nonsense. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 17:45, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I came across this tagged for speedy, but the article is significantly more developed than that version, so I was forced to decline. That said, I was in the process of nominating this myself when I saw User:Cutlass already on it. I'm not seeing anything indepth applied to the page, and my reasonable BEFORE doesn't show much. I get all kinds of COI vibes from this version. Why are we doing this again? Because by deleting it by consensus twice, it will be far more difficult to resurrect it ever again.

Vimukthi Dushantha meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for public figures due to his significant contributions to journalism, activism, and media in Sri Lanka. Articles in credible sources like Daily Mirror, Al Jazeera, and Right to Life Lanka extensively discuss his work. I propose improvements to the article to further address notability and sourcing concerns. 212.104.231.215 (talk) 21:21, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails WP:GNG and the his claim Info Sri Lanka, a prominent news website is a fabrication. The site functions as an aggregator of news links from various news websites in Sri Lanka. – NirvanaToday^t@lk 18:07, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You talking about infolanka (https://www.infolanka.com/news/) website, not Info Sri Lanka (www.infosrilanka.lk) Rawanasinghe (talk) 18:25, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then, that's even worse. There aren't any website showing up when I visit that link. https://web.archive.org/web/20240823123803/https://www.infosrilanka.lk/ – NirvanaToday^t@lk 11:10, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fail WP:GNG. No WP:SIGCOV other than indirect references. Therefore does not meet WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO criteria. Fail WP:SNG as well. There are no verifiable sources to back up the intro (Vimukthi Dushantha is a Sri Lankan social activist, journalist, writer, and entrepreneur). QEnigma (talk) 10:58, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
