Unclear that subject is notable
[edit]Imal Liyanage serves as a challenge to for Wikipedia's inherent notability policy. At each stage of analysis, Liyanage qualifies, if barely. At the end of the day, one is hard pressed to argue Liyanage is a notable figure, deserving of an article in an encyclopedia.
Liyanage played cricket. His team is Matara Sports Club, whose status as a first-class cricket club is not established or referenced in its article. Evidence suggests the club has been relegated to Division III. If he did not play for a first-class cricket team, he is ineligible for an article as a cricketer.
Liyanage played a single first-class match in '98-99. The data is available from a single source, CricketArchive. It is unclear whether CricketArchive is a primary or secondary source. It does not disclose on any publicly accessible portion of the site from whence its data derives. That makes it a primary source.
Liyanage apparently qualifies for a WP article under WP:NCRIC.
Under WP general standards for notability of a living person, Liyanage fails under WP:V; it has no inline citations. It appears cricketarchive is a primary source. One appearance fails WP:BLP1E. For a player about whom so little is known, WP:NODEADLINE is being stretched; it appears NEVER.
