Non-notable. Fails WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV. Non-references used. UPE. The references are very poor and what coverage is there is routine PR.  scope_creep Talk  01:55, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Today I’ve read all the corrections and modifications in the article ever made in the English Wikipedia and I would like to inform you on the following: Mikheil Lomtadze is a well-known figure in Kazakhstan and Georgia. As experts state, today his name is inextricably associated with Kaspi.kz. Thanks to the Strategy of Mikheil Lomtadze, the Kaspi.kz app has become a de facto payment system of Kazakhstan, and a share of non-cash payments is more than 50%, thus contributing to a decrease in the share of the shadow economy and giving an impetus to the economic growth and GDP growth, tax revenues and reducing corruption in Kazakhstan. Ruslan Yensebaev, the Vice-Minister of Finance said, that by 2021, his team together with Mikheil Lomtadze would work out a mechanism of fiscalisation of cash settlements in compliance with the requirements of the State Revenue Committee. Financiers emphasise that such digitalisation of the economy of Kazakhstan will definitely provide a significant boost to multiple structural reforms, including the pension one. In October 2019, Lomtadze planned to hold an IPO on the London Stock Exchange and introduce Kazakhstan at the innovative world map. Experts believe, this IPO will be the first international IPO outside the quasi-state sector for recent years, strengthening the capacity of Kazakhstan and attracting investors to the commercial sector in the country. Analysts predicted high demand for shares of the Kazakhstan company. Exactly a year later, in October 2020, Mikheil Lomtadze conducted a successful IPO of Kaspi.kz on the London Stock Exchange, and according to Refinitiv, it was the second largest public stock offering in the UK in 2020 and the fourth largest one in Europe. After his success at the LSE, Mikheil Lomtadze was recognised as one of the richest and most influential businessman in Kazakhstan. Mikheil is ranking 356th in the world Forbes rating and his wealth is estimated at more than $5 billion. In 2020-2021, the success of Mikheil Lomtadze at the London Stock Exchange attracted attention of President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev who twice held meetings with Mikheil Lomtadze and discussed the digital services development strategy and the prospects for e-commerce growth in Kazakhstan. At meetings with foreign investors Tokayev talked about the success of a Kazakhstan fintech company Kaspi.kz. In 2021, the Cabinet of the United Kingdom paid attention to the activities of Lomtadze and Kaspi.kz. In August 2021, Mikheil Lomtadze became the richest and most influential person in Georgia.
 * Keep Article satisfies WP:NBIO. Dear Administrators! I am the first author of the article about Mikheil Lomtadze, and after the first remark on the article I requested some time for its edition on my personal space, however other users of Wikipedia corrected and rewrote the article.

In May 2019, Lomtadze became a member of the Harvard Business School Advisory Council. In September 2019, Mikheil Lomtadze reported on entering the market of Azerbaijan and announced the further development of business in Central Asia and in the Caucasus, and in 2021 he announced the business development for Ukraine aiming to promote a digital transformation of the entire region. Thus, I think it is inappropriate to delete the article about Mikheil Lomtadze as the encyclopedic importance of his personality is undeniable. It is necessary to note that my article about another businessman with an equivalent position was published on Wikipedia. Please do not delete the article. I am planning to finalize the material in the future according to all rules of Wikipedia. I’d appreciate all recommendations for improvement and mentoring.--Deviloper (talk) 14:50, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Good day! If you are talking about a ticket and that the article is PR in nature or paid up, then I beg to differ with the views you have. The increased interest in the personality of Mikheil Lomtadze is quite justified. He is building an entirely new technological Kazakhstan, and all over the world are oriented on his business model. Even the Minister of England said he was waiting for Kaspi in England. Entry to Ukraine was within the nearest plans, but as now appears it is indefinitely postponed.Besides, given the events that took place in Kazakhstan in January, the British Parliament called for a series of sanctions to be imposed on Kazakh businessmen. They are now in crosshairs and everybody are wondering who they are and how they came to success.--Deviloper (talk) 09:00, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment The original title, Mikhail Lomtadze, is SALTed, so this article taken directly out of draftspace without being approved by WikiProject AfC reviewers, is a direct attempt to circumvent our controls by a likely paid editor. Are we going to respect our efforts to stop subjects rich enough to buy editing help or are we just going to look the other way when this sort of thing happens? I'm honestly asking as I can't figure out what this editing community is trying to accomplish. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 04:36, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't see it. I'll check this in the future. Thanks for posting it.   scope_creep Talk  12:06, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I've posted a message to user:MER-C who will take a look at it.    scope_creep Talk  12:19, 7 March 2022 (UTC)


 * comment I republished it from Draft. Sorry if I violate the rule. As I just told at COI page, I found that guy and Narzullo Oblomurodov abandoned at Draft space and they looked for me pretty promising. That was my intentin to work on them and publish in mainspace. I still think both Mikheil easily passes WP:GNG. There are enough Russian, Kazakh and other sources with deep coverage of the subject. --Bash7oven (talk) 15:18, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Have you seen the fact this article has been deleted multiple times and salted because it. Make sure you check that the next time instead of wasting everybodies time.   scope_creep Talk  15:31, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

 * keep as the most influential oligarch and the richest person of Georgia (ex Soviet country, not a state). I added some new links which can help to meet WP:GNG. COI tag also should be placed. 2600:1700:2360:6020:68DE:F61:C7D0:2E0C (talk) 14:07, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Being rich and oligarch doesn't define notability. Secondary sources do and they're are none.   scope_creep Talk  20:09, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete appears to be using spam sources and an undisclosed COI. I find no neutral sources. Oaktree b (talk) 20:35, 14 March 2022 (UTC)


 * comment Dear administrators and project participants! I have checked all the references specified in the original article of the year 2019, it contains independent sources and needs to be revised. In the discussion given above, I also introduced some references in the English language which are related to reliable sources in all respects. They may be added in order the article meets all the requirements of the free Wikipedia. In the view of the foregoing, I request you to restore the article for further revision by other Wikipedia participants. Deviloper (talk) 03:59, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. I did some searching on my own.  I found items in Forbes and Bloomberg, which are generally WP:RS, but they were both directory-type listings ("The world's N richest people" kind of thing) with no WP:SIGCOV.  -- RoySmith (talk) 15:03, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
