Speedy deletion nomination of Harry Kotelawala

Hello Damithkothalawala,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Harry Kotelawala for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Jamesbushell.au (talk) 06:31, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I took pity and moved it to User:Damithkothalawala/sandbox. Do not even think of moving it back until it is a proper article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:54, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
