Vako Togonidze[edit]

Vako Togonidze (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Looks to be a non-notable businessman but I brought it here because perhaps good sources are simply unavailable in English, or we should be searching for his original name not this transliteration. It's an autobiography of a man from Georgia (former SSR, though it's confusing because he also attended school in Georgia USA....). Can't really find anything on google, we don't have an article about his company, he seems young to be really that important (but it's still possible), all sources are from his company website.

  • He is a really famous and successful busses man in Georgia. There are a lot of articles and publications on net regarding his success in real estate business, but the matter is that all is in Georgian language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.210.217.83 (talk) 21:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I did not read any reasonable argument in the comments above to delete this page. Not finding enough articles about the person or a company on the internet alone is not sufficient argument for deletion. Georgia is developing country with around 4 million population. There are not many English language pages related to Georgia and Georgians on the internet. Georgian language is unique – non Slavic and non Indo-European language not widely supported by technological media. There are not many pages in Georgian language on the internet.
  • As far as person’s age, it should be noted that Georgia’s president – Saakashvili won his second term of presidency and just turned 40. He has been Georgia’s president for past four years already. Current Prime Minister -Gurgenidze is 38, Defense Minister – Kezerashvili is 29, Finance Minister – Gilauri is 32, Minister for Repatriates and Refuges – Subeliani is 29, Economy Minister –Sharashidze is 33, Energy Minister – Xetaguri is 31, Minister of Agriculture - Tsiskarishvili is 33. Let me see how many articles one can find about these people.
  • Georgia is a young democracy with growing economy and technology infrastructure. TexxGroup is among top three Real Estate Development and Promotion companies in Georgia. The whole Real Estate market reached mature developed stage around 3 to 5 years ago and there may not be enough information in English on the internet. Yet, anyone who is interested in Georgia, it’s economy, real estate, investment and so on, should be able to read about TexxGroup and it’s CEO Vako Togonidze. Andro900
  • Keep , I have read a lot about Vako Togonidze and his achievements. He was one of the key figures during the Georgian Rose Revolution. Since Georgia is a post soviet country older people have more-less soviet mentality even in doing Business. That's why most of Georgian Businessmen are young. I think just because Vako is young he shouldn't be deleted from wikipedia. I think it's all about how much you've done in life, not how old you are. Americans usually start their career after 30 and in Georgia it's different. I don't know anyone who is 26 and is the founder and CEO of one of the leading Real Estate companies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.117.57.86 (talk) 09:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete - article does not assert notability and seems to read like an advertisement for "TEXX Group". -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 10:45, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Article contains pure facts regarding a person. And TEXX group looks to be a large company —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.52.195.120 (talk) 08:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Togonidze looks to be a famous and successful person in his country. If there is no enough articles about the person on the internet alone is not sufficient argument for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.95.167.19 (talk) 12:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep No sufficient argument for deletion.
    Notability does not signify world wide notability for Wikipedia encyclopedia. Any person searching information about commerce, real estate, companies CEOs in Georgia or of Georgian origin should be able to find out about Valerian Togonidze, Texxgroup and what makes this person and the company “notable worth”.
    I would say that more information can be added to the page for completeness, but deletion will only reduce the knowledge and informativeness this encyclopedia offers.

  • Comment. It seems that the only people who want to keep this here are anonymous editors and editors whose only contribution to Wikipedia is on this single topic. The article still lacks any reliable sources.--Michig (talk) 16:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sufficient argument for deletion.Article contains pure facts about a very prosperouse businessman in Georgia. I assume there are only a few Wikipedia editors from Georgia, and thats why all coments ar from anonymous people.Georgian RE market is booming and a lot of foreign investors invest in the countrey (It's written in most of the best western Newspapers) If one wants to find a proffesional reliable business partner in Georgia Togonidze is one of them. So why delete it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.11.19.10 (talk) 18:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article may need some minor changes, but not necessary to be deleted. These persons age in contrast to his achievements may be just one reason to keep it on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jondoornot (talk • contribs) 06:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
