Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sirimal Abeyratne
His Google scholar profile https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=vm6QobYAAAAJ only shows one moderately-well-cited publication among a lot of lesser ones, despite it being padded by publications from someone else with similar initials who works on cattle parasites. He's not listed at all by RePEc for Sri Lanka https://ideas.repec.org/top/top.srilanka.html nor even among the economists that they know about for his department https://edirc.repec.org/data/decmblk.html. The sources consist of his home page, a newspaper announcement of a discussion moderated by him, a deadlink, several stories about the economy of Sri Lanka that quote him but include no significant coverage about him nor his research, and an alumni listing in which I couldn't find his name. None of that is evidence that the article should be deleted, but it is a failure to find evidence that he passes  and without evidence we can't keep the article. On the other hand, I'm wary of systematic bias here and would be willing to change my mind if stronger evidence for notability is turned up in this AfD
