No evidence of notability, byt WP:PROF or the GNG I recognize I can not judge the importance or citations of the Georgian publications, but it's clear that they cannot possibly have has any influence outside that country, and the standard of notability under WP:PROF is international /

The other claims are so weak as to indicate there is likely to be not actual notability : "he is fluent in english" "He has attended trainings at [various notable institutions]. "He is a member of the American Economic Association"--but not a Fellow, and not an officer. DGG ( talk ) 09:31, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, SPA not here to build encyclopedia but to promote this person. Google search turned up no secondary sources, fails WP:PROF based on scholar search as well. Fails GNG all around. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 13:31, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as my searches apparently only found a few passing mentions here and there such as at Books and browsers. SwisterTwister talk 20:57, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He appears to be a successful banker and now a successful academic, but I don't see any evidence of actual notability. In particular, prolific publication (claimed in the article) is not the same as academic impact (needed for WP:PROF#C1). And I don't see him in the RePEc list of top economics scholars in Georgia [1]. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:27, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
