• Delete, unfortunately. Multiple sources are required to meet the WP:GNG, and I couldn't find any more to add to the one above. I suspect that Sri Lankan newspaper sources from the late 1980s when Zal was the most active contain acceptable sourcing, but notability is generally based on the verified existence of sources, which I cannot provide. —Danre98^{(talk^contribs)} 04:13, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
