Very vague and unsourced; almost qualifies for CSD A1 (no context). If notable enough to be recreated, it can be done by proper spacing. SS✞^(Kay) 00:32, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete, it is indeed vague, short and unsourced, but a Google search returned a few relevant links. Considering the current situation of the article, however, deletion is the best option here, unless someone more familiarized with the subject do some major editing there.

Comment - If the article is kept, the name will have to change. Which is better Sri Lankan papare, or simply Papare? There's already an article at the latter, which is a one-line stub about a New Guinean deity. -GTBacchus^(talk) 20:40, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/Rename to Papara Music or Papara band. Salveable, There are some reliable sources.--Chanaka L (talk) 03:08, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename. There are plenty of reliable sources found by this search. "Papara", "papare" and "papara papara" all seem to be potential names for the article, with a disambiguator if necessary. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:28, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep and rename. There do seem to be enough references on the web to support notability, so a little fleshing out and a citation or two should at least make it a stub article worth keeping -- Boing! said Zebedee 08:11, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
