Dmitry Bukhman

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an article about a Russian billionaire that seems to be native advertising created by a suspected undisclosed paid editor. The given sources are very promotional, in detail : refs 1, 10 and 12 are database  listings; ref 2 is based on a softball interview in ref 9,; ref 3 and 7 are sourced to the Bloomberg interview in ref 8 which has a disclaimer at the top stating that its source is Playrix (the company he co-founded); ref 6 is self-written by Bukhman; refs 5 and 11 are softball interviews; ref 13 is an interview with the company's head of marketing; the remaining refs are either mentions or promotional. A WP:BEFORE found a piece in the Financial Times but that seems mainly reliant on Buhkman and the company. To sum up, the article is mainly sourced to the commentary of the subject himself and is therefore not independently sourced and does not pass WP:Basic, as well as the WP:PROMO issues.

 * Keep I do not edit the English Wikipedia, but I am interested in the life of the Bukhman brothers and often play the games created by them. When I surfed the internet and came across the Wikipedia article about Dmitry Bukhman, I was very surprised by the nomination for deletion, assuming that it was nothing else but a misunderstanding. I decided to find out what and why and served to make this conclusion that I could not agree with the arguments of the Atlantic. Source №1.12 is a separate short article about Buchman in Forbes (not just a mention of the name in the list). The arguments regarding the 2nd source do not stand up to criticism, as the quotations in these articles are of complementary value and do not form the basis. Source №7 is a common secondary source, where the author refers to various sources (not only Bloomberg). The №8 source is also a full-fledged article on Bloomberg, and the disclaimer above refers solely to the authorship of the photo used for the article, isn't that obvious? This is common practice.--OmInna (talk) 13:57, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

 * The Forbes piece is not a real article just a blurb, and the other sources all rely on the commentary of Bukhman himself either directly or from interviews in other sources. This means that the article only covers what Buhkman wants it to cover and is therefore promotional and not independent of the subject so failing WP:BASIC imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:52, 16 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment, about 7.8bill people in the world, around 2100 billionaires, Bukhman is 1 in 3mill approx, so they're not that common, surprising that there isn't appropriate sources to be found but maybe a merge/redirect to Playrix could be considered? Coolabahapple (talk) 11:51, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
