Lanka University News

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article doesn't provide any independent reliable sources to verify notability of the subject, an education news website. The sources provided are either primary (Lanka University News) or blogs. A quick Google search also fails to provide any mention of the website. The article reads like promotional material and the sole contributor, User:Dinesh De Alwis, is the owner of the website which is a conflict of interest. Dinesh De Alwis has previously spammed numerous articles with links to this website.

This article was first created by Dinesh De Alwis in December 2012 but was deleted after being proded for lacking significant coverage in reliable sources to comply with notability requirements. obi2canibe^{talk contr} 19:21, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment at this stage all of the references are either from personal blogs or the University News website. WP:Notability requires an article to have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. As indicated by the nominator the creator of the article appears to be closely related to the article, which raised questions about the indepdence of the material contained within the article (such as "“Lanka University News” is the leading education web site in Sri Lanka).

Delete as the article's creator has been provided ample time to provide independent verifiable sources to establish the article's notability - I have to change my previous comment to support the deletion of this article.Dan arndt (talk) 23:56, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
