Dmitry Kaminsky

No actual evidence of notability.Partner of an investment firm. VITAL is probably notable, but he did not develop it. Being appointed to the board of one charitable foundation is not notability. Everything here is either peripheral or a press release.  DGG ( talk ) 01:45, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - While it is always helpful in these sorts of discussions involving a subject based in a foreign country to have an editor who speaks the local language help look for sources, in this case it definitely looks like the subject does not pass the GNG. I'm not even sure he would be a suitable redirect to the company, should that article be created.--Yaksar (let's chat) 04:27, 18 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - Don't get why it should be deleted based on local editors votes, where are they and what is local? I've just come here from Biomedicine Oxford Conference (BigDataMed - Oxford), where the subject gave the talk. It makes sense to join his personal page with the company page but he is well-known in professional community and not only by ventures projects. By the way, the subject also participates in the biggest Pharma conference - MipTec in Basel as a partner, but somehow for many pharma managers wikipages exist without such discussions. --adyod 15:45, 18 September 2014 (GMT+2)
 * I didn't mean local !votes should count for more, just that it would be helpful to know that there aren't any Hong Kong based sources that are not in English. Although considering that the company works primarily in English this shouldn't be a huge issue. But while your personal anecdote might help, it needs to be backed up with some sort of independent and reliable source that gives substantial coverage of the subject.--Yaksar (let's chat) 14:02, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Just noticed this is only your third edit to Wikipedia -- I recommend checking out WP:GNG to see what we mean when discussing notability and the sourcing it requires.--Yaksar (let's chat) 14:05, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. True, i'm not wikipedia editor, i'm scientist and came here after the conference while i googled the subject. Right now I also google "Dmitry Kaminskiy" + "Deep Knowledge Ventures" to prove the notability. The topic covered in english, spanish, portuguese, german, french, poland, russian, mandarin, japanese, arabic and so on in different news and articles. --adyod 16:11, 18 September 2014 (GMT+2)
