[[Draft:Tilak Ranaviraja|Tilak Ranaviraja]] moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Tilak Ranaviraja, currently reads like a resume and needs significant changes in order to comply with Wikipedia's neutrality policies. Please work on making the article read less like a resume and resubmit through the Articles for creation process. Here's an example of a more appropriately written biography for reference, Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Additionally, it is required that you disclose any affiliation or connection that you may have with Ranaviraja, or if you have been paid to write this or any other article on Wikipedia. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article complies with neutrality policies and notability guidelines and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. signed, Rosguill talk 22:16, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Tilak Ranaviraja, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
