Article is about forests in the Vanni region without specific mention of a named forest. Sources are either links to sat images or references that does not deal with a location called the "Vanni forest" and the page Natural forests in Sri Lanka already exists. -UtoD 11:32, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I really don't know what to do with this one. "Vanni forest" brings up a number of hits in books, though the one that looked the best is a reverse COPYVIO of this article! I'm nervous about deleting because it's very possible I'm getting this wrong, but there's no clear sources which show this to be a viable topic in English.

Delete I cannot find in-depth, independent, reliable sources discussing a Vanni forest in Sri Lanka. The region is definitely forested, but there doesn't seem to be a discussion of the forest + what makes it unique. Most sources, like this article, are about the wider region and the people that live there. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 11:36, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
