LinkedIn type profile of a successful businessmen sourced to corporate announcements but lacking any clear indication of notability. The subject did win an industry award but that does not seem enough to base an article on. The article creator had this declined as a draft five years ago so just moved it into mainspace themselves this time. Mccapra (talk) 18:24, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Subject is notable, sources are solid. No valid reason for deletion.--Geewhiz (talk) 20:52, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In what way are these sources solid? I see only press releases and run-of-the-WP:MILL announcements of business actions. FalconK (talk) 02:00, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Then you are not looking closely enough. Globes, Yisrael Hayom and Calcalist are solid sources for business-related and other news in Israel.

Delete The article is built on a small number of press-releases which doesn't pass WP:BLP. There won't be anything left about this non-notable fellow after those are removed. ImTheIP (talk) 07:09, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's only routine business coverage about transactions and hirings and firings. No substantial personal coverage to be found. The sale price of his company is not relevant in determining notability, and a single industry award does not make a person notable either. Borisshin's comment is confusing, and seems to consider an article something that one has a "right" to, which is dangerously close to WP:PROMO territory. And then, Borisshin cites WP:OTHERSTUFF. Yikes. FalconK (talk) 02:00, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep In Israel he has allot more articales about him, this articale is not press-releas *Ran Maidan in The CEO magazine — Preceding unsigned Borisshin (talk • contribs) 09:42, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As an interview with the article's subject, this is a dependent source and thus does not meet WP:RS. FalconK (talk) 01:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
