Seems very advertisement-like. Non-notable per WP:BIO. Gary King (talk) 00:44, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sri Lanka-related deletion discussions. cab (talk) 08:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment author has repeatedly removed the AfD notice from the article. JohnCD (talk) 14:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - there may possibly be some notability lurking beneath all the promotion (probably self-promotion, from its intensity) but it would require a lot of work to make an acceptable article; the author has shown no inclination to co-operate or listen to advice, and has now been blocked indefinitely under both his usernames.

  • Delete Non-notable film student. Jmlk17 00:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - this article is part of a determined campaign of self-promotion. It was made by Srilanka short film (talk · contribs) and Srilankan short film (talk · contribs) who both got blocked on 20 Feb for creating inappropriate articles, removing tags etc; today Malakadew (talk · contribs) has taken up the running, removing the AfD tag for a SIXTH time, and has also been blocked as a sock. So there is blatant COI as an additional reason for deletion. JohnCD (talk) 21:41, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete utterly NN, fails WP:BIO, and WP:SPAM/WP:COI too by the looks of things. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
