Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Alexsander Iakobachvili

I would like to clarify some points of the article:

1. Although I have known Doctor Iakobachvili personally and I am fully aware of his full-time involvement in a unique scientific project (in 1977-1992) - my point of view over this particular case is totally neutral (NPOV).

2. I believe Iakobachvili is a notable person and deserves to be considered to be published in Wikipedia because: 2a - he has significant personal input and was one of the founders and driving force in aerospace antenna "Reflector" experiment  Reflektor Reflektor

2b - His carrier and scientific achievements in the aerospace industry have not been published widely earlier because at the time this area of aerospace engineering had certain regulatory restrictions and was only available for the small circle of professionals. Please accept as proof the following Georgian Government Parlament's formal notice http://dspace.nplg.gov.ge/bitstream/1234/11519/1/Kosmosuri_Obieqti.pdf

and Iakobachvili's impressive list of publications (see Pages: 416/position 33/; page 417/pp35/; page426/pp 99, 101/; page 428/pp 114/; page 429/pp:121, 122, 123, 124, 125/; page 430/pp: 127, 131, 133, 134/; page 432/pp 143/; page 435/pp 168/; page 440/pp 199/) and others. The list certainly shows that he was a significant participant in the interesting and unusual scientific project for over 16 years, which deserves attention to be recorded; and was, unfortunately, less visible to the public due to the above mentioned temporary restrictions.

3. Iakobachvili's notability also is confirmed by the Kapitza Fellowship well-known and significant Award granted to him by the Royal Society (UK) as a most eminent scientist in 1993: Welcome to the Royal Society | Royal Society

4. New concepts of Iakobachvili's scientific achievements are also supported by 2 patents.

5. After 1995 Alexsander Iakobachvili joined the financial industry and was involved in developing and promoting highly technically advanced international financial products and infrastructure services for the professional investment community. This information has significant coverage in multiple published industry secondary sources that are reliable and independent of each other.

6. Since 2010 - until now, Iakobachvili was an approved person and licensed by the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority at the Bank of England in United Kingdom. He is an individual allowed to carry "controlled senior management functions":  https://register.fca.org.uk/s/individual?id=003b000000LVslqAAD

I hope my arguments would be sufficient and will convince others also agree that we should keep the article in Wikipedia.

 * Hi Temur, thanks for your comments above. I invite you to read Conflict of interest and make sure you understand Wikipedia's policy on editing pages on people you know personally. This COI editing is strongly discouraged because it is hard to be neutral in your evaluation of their work and life, as you yourself have alluded to above.


 * Also, I think you have some points that would be better discussed in the actual AFD, instead of on its talk page. That way, more editors will be more likely to read it and comment on it. Read WP:AFDFORMAT to understand our procedures and look at other AFD discussions. This will help you structure your thoughts and make it more likely for other editors will accept your arguments. I can't promise that editors will agree with you, but it will make it more likely that editors seriously consider your proposals.


 * My advice: The best arguments that convince me that an article should be kept are short arguments that show 1) the subject (person) is notable 2) that the notability passes WP:GNG or WP:SNG and 3) you provide multiple sources that prove this notability from reputable, secondary writings. Some of what you posted above are great starting points to help you develop your argument. Good luck and feel free to message me if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 02:24, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
