Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Godakumbura
For those doing various searches, he is usually cited as "C. E. Godakumbura". I am leaning "keep" at the moment. He lived well before the internet era, and GBooks still gives 2,630 hitshttps://www.google.com/#q=%22C.+E.+Godakumbura%22&safe=off&tbm=bks; the name appears to be unique, so I don't think there are any false positives there. I did find one published obit about himhttp://www.myanmarbook.com/index.php?__2M3Nkamg=__1amJyc2RldGFpbA&__2MnJjdA=J0683&id=J0683 in the Journal of Burma Research Society. Also, there is a short book/booklethttp://www.friendsofheritage.net/godakubura.htm published about him. So arguably passes , even if weakly. JSTOR has at least 14 published reviews of his workhttp://www.jstor.org/action/doAdvancedSearch?sd=&f5=all&acc=off&f2=all&q3=&group=none&c4=AND&q2=&ed=&f0=ti&f1=ab&isbn=&q0=Godakumbura&f3=all&c6=AND&c3=AND&f6=all&q5=&c1=AND&la=&q1=&q6=&q4=&c5=AND&c2=AND&f4=all&pt=. Actually, some of these reviews contain interesting semi-biographical details. E.g. this posthumous reviewhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/602813?Search=yes&resultItemClick=true&searchText=ti:Godakumbura&searchText=OR&searchText=tb:Godakumbura&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoAdvancedSearch%3Fsd%3D%26amp%3Bf5%3Dall%26amp%3Bacc%3Doff%26amp%3Bf2%3Dall%26amp%3Bq3%3D%26amp%3Bgroup%3Dnone%26amp%3Bc4%3DAND%26amp%3Bq2%3D%26amp%3Bed%3D%26amp%3Bf0%3Dti%26amp%3Bf1%3Dab%26amp%3Bisbn%3D%26amp%3Bq0%3DGodakumbura%26amp%3Bf3%3Dall%26amp%3Bc6%3DAND%26amp%3Bc3%3DAND%26amp%3Bf6%3Dall%26amp%3Bq5%3D%26amp%3Bc1%3DAND%26amp%3Bla%3D%26amp%3Bq1%3D%26amp%3Bq6%3D%26amp%3Bq4%3D%26amp%3Bc5%3DAND%26amp%3Bc2%3DAND%26amp%3Bf4%3Dall%26amp%3Bpt%3D&seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents by Ernest Bender says, in particular: "The present catalogue -- based on first galley proofs which fortuitously survived the original manuscript destroyed by the ravages of white ants in Sri Lanka -- comprises one hundred ...". Probably one can make a case for passing  here
