- @Atsrilanka: 1 and 2 are primarily book reviews but do contain some background information on the author. These may or may not clear our WP:SIGCOV requirement. 3 would probably not be considered WP:INDEPENDENT. Bottom line is that the case for notability based on these sources is marginal. If there is one more along the lines of 1 or 2, it would be more clearly acceptable. If not, we can try approving it and see whether it gets deleted by the community. ~Kvng (talk) 14:00, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Kvng: good point. Digging through, I found this: http://www.sundaytimes.lk/170820/plus/showing-the-world-we-too-can-write-science-fiction-255140.html and, this https://factordaily.com/big-brother-big-data/. The first appears to frame the author's role in Sri Lankan scifi and second appears to set his work alongside David Eggers' work. He is quoted elsewhere in the guardian etc, but not as an author and probably not that relevant for WP:NOTABILITY in this context. Thoughts? Atsrilanka (talk) 13:27, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, that does make a good case for notability. ~Kvng (talk) 14:55, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
