Hello, I work with Suran, and wanted to help address the issues identified in the maintenance template on his page regarding citations. I have listed some references for the facts currently without citations below – it would be great if someone could consider these and implement (or I would be happy to help implement if someone approves, I have not directly edited for now given my potential perceived COI):
I’d be happy to discuss these if there are any issues, and help to find alternatives if these sources are not sufficient. If/once they are acceptable, it would also be great if someone could consider whether the maintenance template is still needed, and either remove it or identify which facts are still missing verification. Many thanks! Stephkatep ( talk) 12:50, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
Edit: updated to include a reference list, which will hopefully make it easier to implement if agreed. Stephkatep ( talk) 01:50, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Implementing the suggestion above from @ Spintendo: a list of proposed changes to add citations is below.
A substantial edit of the article was carried out since my previous post - I have therefore just addressed the section noted to still require a citation, and the sections deleted for lacking citations (the facts from which I propose should be reinserted given references are available, at least in a condensed form).

Partially implemented Edit request proposal #2 implemented, without IMDb, which is generally discouraged as a source. Request #1 partially implemented: Goonatilake's directorship of the Centre for Scientific Enterprise could not be confirmed. The second sentence in the first edit request altered to remove insufficiently paraphrased text. Other elements of the article not carrying references were omitted. Citation needed inline template removed. As no unreferenced elements remain in the article,
BLP sources template removed.
