Delete No indications of notability, fails WP:BASIC. Just a run-of-the-mill financier. HighKing++ 16:27, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The source list is a classic example of link-packing (is that a term?) - most of them are unreliable or press releases, a couple are dead links, a few are from the subject's own website (Hoxton Ventures) and the few impressive-looking ones (Sky, CNBC) just have a quote from Mr. Kniaz on whatever topic the article is addressing, and no actual coverage of Kniaz himself. There's nothing else online about him at all. Amsgearing (talk) 16:32, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I'm in the process of updating this as well as the fund page. This is a meaningful investor as he has two of the largest UK successes in recent times, Deliveroo and Darktrace and they have substantially grown assets over time. Misterpottery (talk) 07:34, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: does not meet WP:ANYBIO and significant RS coverage not found. Not independently notable of Hoxton Ventures; the notability of the latter is unclear, being at AfD itself. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:43, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Also please note the inclusion of a signficant number of US patents that are significant in the advertising industry. Misterpottery (talk) 10:55, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
