No indication this person meets GNG, can't find any sources outside of imdb and hasn't been sourced since 2009! CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:29, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I put the wrong reasoning in this AFD, but fails WP:NFILM. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:51, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, at worst redirect to H. D. Premaratne. First, it's not even a person, it's a film. Looking for "Adara Hasuna" or "ආදර හසුන" gives further sources, but I'm not able to adequately search for Sri Lankan movie titles to definitely say that this is a notable film. It certainly gets enough mentions, and has been shown in film festivals around the world, but 1986 is too old to easily find many traces of this. Fram (talk) 13:35, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding "NFILM"; it has "The film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of his/her career.", which this film clearly does. A full length film is a major part of the career of any notable film maker (well, excluding some extremely rapid film makers like porn directors and the like). The Sri Lanka Daily Mirror considers the movie notable enough to give it some attention in April 2017 here. Fram (talk) 14:05, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Major director, major lead actor. Sources are almost certain to exist offline (if not online in sources that are in Sinhalese and therefore unintelligible to me). Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:31, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to WP:V? Sources could exist for any number of subjects but if no one can provide them, how can we possibly judge them? Saying that "they must exist offline" is absolutely ridiculous. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:23, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Although I do agree with User:Chrissymad that it is wrong to simply assume notability without any sources. But With these two English sources [1][2] that call him this directors notable works and this movie as a visual poetry, I am inclined to keep. The local language is Sinhalese and Tamil, yet we have English sources that provide positive (minor) coverage, so User:Fram's assumption that Sinhalese media will have SIGCOV is not unfounded. --DBigXrayᗙ 11:34, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep/Redirect to the director, I'm undecided which, either way it isn't delete. Szzuk (talk) 11:42, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
