Just because she is the spouse of the President of Sri Lanka does not necessarily mean that she is notable - see WP:INVALIDBIO. As relationships do not confer notability. There does not appear to be any supporting/referenced sources that establish notability in her own right. Dan arndt (talk) 01:02, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or at best Redirect because I believe I have seen others such as DGG note that some articles can be considered notable. SwisterTwister talk 20:02, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I think the comment above means that I've said that articles like this one on spouses of heads of state, have often been considered notable here; I think they almost always have, & it's good to be consistent. (Articles on of spouses of heads of government have usually not been kept on hat reason alone, although I think they ought to be, ) In general I think enough information could be found in local sources--Sri Lanka topics have been very hard to deal with here, so the basic principle is avoiding cultural bias.

• Comment - A detailed search has not provided any additional information on the subject apart from that she exists and is the wife of the president and therefore fails WP:GNG. At best this should be a Redirect until such time that additional information can be provided. Dan arndt (talk) 14:09, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• I think she's likely "inherently notable" per our policies (WP:inherit makes such a claim at least), but in English at least I can't find anything of any significance. There may well be things out there, and I think the bar would be pretty low for those sources. But until there is significant coverage of her, I'd say we should have a Redirect to her husband--more as an editorial thing than anything. If there is even one solid interview/overview of _her_ out there, I'd go with keep. Certainly opposed to deletion as a reasonable search term AND the fact I can't imagine we won't have an article here at some point soon. Hobit (talk) 15:08, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• As I said at the DRV - all the sources we've been able to find treat her as a one- or two-sentence mention in articles about her husband, so we should do the same, and there's already more information in Maithripala Sirisena#Family and personal life than there is in this article. It doesn't make sense to turn this into a redlink, so redirect there until the sourcing situation changes. —Cryptic 04:52, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
