Doesn't seem to meet notability guidelines in WP:BIO. The article looks like promotional material for the individual and his business. The biographical content ("Life and career" section) contains only two inline references, both of which look like they are connected to the subject. obi2canibe^{talk contr} 20:11, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete - Per G11. Obviously fails WP:GNG, and looks to be a blatant advertisement/promotion of a person. WP:NOTRESUME absolutely applies here. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:17, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources are about the product/company, they only mention Wickramage in passing. That isn't the the in-depth coverage required by WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 12:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AnGeloAnoJan - None of these sources assert notability of the person. These may assert notability of the company, but it is the article subject himself that this AFD thread must examine. WP:GNG requires reliable sources that cover the article subject in-depth, and that enough reliable sources exist to provide significant coverage, or coverage to where no original research is needed to cover the article subject in its entirety. This clearly does not exist; the article looks to be full of original research, and what sources are cited do not meet the standards required of WP:RS and WP:GNG. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Subject is clearly notable because of the continuing international success of the software products he has co-founded. This is reflected in the thousands of 'downloads' his software products such as FlipBeats^[13], and Expense Tracker 2.0^[14], gets each month on both Apple iOS and Android platforms.169.53.164.115 (talk) 08:37, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
