I deleted the page because it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * The article appears to be a biography of Iarov, but has been published under the name of his company, not the man himself, obviously to promote his business
 * Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: experience spans three continents and more than 30 years. He began his coaching career in the former Soviet Union with athletes earning two gold and two silver medals at the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympic games... impressive trajectory... another well-known name...

I'll post the deleted text here soon. Please don't let it just sit there indefinitely Jimfbleak - talk to me?  17:05, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, so if I change the article title to the person's name then will that correct the issues?

Also, I just double checked on your comment above about unsourced claim about athletes earning medals 1988 olympics... you can cross reference in the WOGA wiki article, which should have been used as a source in my Iarov article. The link is here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Olympic_Gymnastics_Academy

Please advise.

 * Well, up to a point. Note that Wikipedia is not a reliable source, you need a third-party reference, not another Wikipedia article, although that fact should be easy enough to find a source for. You can either write about him, and put less emphasis on his business associates, or write primarily about the business. The personal biography is probably the better option in this case, and less likely to be deleted. Make it more rounded, and put in some personal stuff, so it's not so overtly promotional, and avoid weasel words such as well known, respected, award-winning and the like Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:00, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
