Nikolai Udianskyi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional bio for cryptocurrency entrepreneur. No evidence of passing en:wp notability. Current version is after lots of crypto sites (unusable in general, but especially on a BLP) were removed. Talk page discussion with creator shows apparently inability to find actual third-party non-crypto RSes, and lack of understanding of en:wp sourcing. The Ukrainian version of the article uses the same bad sources as the English version. WP:BEFORE shows press releases and crypto sites. David Gerard (talk) 07:32, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete as subject lacks coverage in reliable, independent sources. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:41, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Save Do you really beleive that the founder of one of the biggest cryptocurrency ehchange (# 8 in the world list Top 100 Cryptocurrency Exchanges by Trade Volume with monthly volume $78 857 297 470, https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/ ) and founder of a bitcoin fork is not notable?

 * The about page suggests this is a promotional site aobut Ukrainians, and not an WP:RS as English Wikipedia defines the term. Again, you don't seem to have bothered learning how sourcing works on en:wp. What precisely is lb.ua? It's not a news site, what is it? - David Gerard (talk) 10:46, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * lb.ua IS a news site, one of the most popular in Ukraine. For example, today, on Sunday 2010-05-17, they published more than 40 news items, see https://lb.ua
 * elita.org.ua as well publishes news about prominent Ukrainians and their biographies --Perohanych (talk) 21:04, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It might be a news site, but this isn't a news item. It's more like a CV, which I suspect the subject wrote himself. Cordless Larry (talk) 15:00, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, have a look at wikidata:Property:P6980 and wikidata:Wikidata:Property_proposal/LB.ua_dossier --Perohanych (talk) 09:38, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure how that affects the assessment of the page concerned. Could you explain? Cordless Larry (talk) 11:56, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Upon review of the Google results provided by Perohanych, I agree there is a lack of independent sources that provide coverage on subject. --PrinceTut (talk) 09:31, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * forbes.com, entrepreneur.com, hackernoon.com, bits.media, thecoinshark.net, afroasiaforum.com, chainbulletin.com, coinspeaker.com, ukranews.com, RBC Ukraine and many-many other sites write about Udianskyi, confirm the fact that he founded Coinsbit exchange, that he organised one of the biggest in the world international conference on cryptocurrency and blockchain. Yes, the majority of them are websites afrom the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain. But Udianskyi is a man from the cryptocurrency and blockchain world. --Perohanych (talk) 11:35, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think there's enough reliable sources for the subject from my search results. WP:GNG. —Hiwilms (talk) 06:53, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a non-notable businessman.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:17, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Save. There are sources about him.--Кучер Олексій (talk) 16:30, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keeping in mind that this is not a vote, but a place to advance arguments - what are the sources that meet the en:wp rules on reliable sources, and how do they meet these rules? - David Gerard (talk) 10:47, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
