Though the radio station is quite popular in Sri Lanka, the article lacks reliable secondary sources and it's quite difficult to obtain reliable sources. Abishe (talk) 05:14, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Agreed, insufficient references. Whiteguru (talk) 09:05, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: There's no reason that this shouldn't persist as a stub that can be improved. A quick search for "Hiru FM" limited to .lk turned up several newspaper articles discussing the station that could be used to expand it. Carter (talk) 18:07, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The only source in the article seem to be reliable. Search results return a lot of primary sources, notably from Hiru News. However, I found some reliable sources which talk about the station, whether fully or briefly: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and [6]. With these, the article is good enough to pass WP:BCAST.
