[edit]

Subject fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:TEACH - notability (or even existence) of Japan-Lanka Cultural Exchange Society cannot be verified by another source - no reliable sources for other claims of notability Hekerui (talk) 10:59, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sources from Sri Lanka may be hard to come by. Are there any editors who have access to that region's media and sourcing? ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:21, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He's an expatriate living in Japan so there are likely many more sources in Japanese than in Sinhalese. Badagnani (talk) 05:02, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. There's absolutely no references except for a little quote at the bottom, and few results show up on Google searches. GraYoshi2x►^talk 18:16, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As the sources indicate this is a highly notable musician, with an international reputation, and probably the most notable sitarist from Sri Lanka. Badagnani (talk) 01:51, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep. A few more references not listed in the article: [1] tells a fair bit of his story. [2] [3] are short pieces about his performances and that he is the head of the Asian Education, Culture and Natural Environment Preservation Japan Support Center. Considering the amount of coverage that English language web news would tend have about a Sri Lankan musician in Japan, I thik that should be sufficient. --GRuban (talk) 17:43, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
