  100% KEEP. Dmytroshestakov (talk) 12:46, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Struck out as fourth keep from same editor

  People are not going to take the egregious AI use seriously in this discussion. Geschichte (talk) 18:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• • Keep - I must respectfully disagree with @DesiMoore about your WP:SIGCOV assessment. Let me demonstrate the significant coverage from multiple reliable sources:

  1. Direct Coverage:

  • Sifted EU - Dedicated article about subject's university spinout fund work
  • Forbes - Direct quotes and coverage of cryptocurrency exchange development
  • Business Insider - Detailed coverage of Hacken Ecosystem launch
  • Academic journals - Multiple peer-reviewed publications as primary author
  • Columbia University and Ibidem Press - Published book with foreword by former DARPA Director

  2. Depth of Coverage (WP:DEPTH):

  • Not just mentions, but substantive coverage of achievements
  • Leadership roles documented by institutional sources
  • Academic contributions verified through scholarly publications
  • Professional impact covered in industry publications

  3. Independence of Sources (WP:INDEP):

  • International media coverage (Forbes, Business Insider, Sifted EU)
  • Academic institutional verification
  • Government and international organization documentation
  • No reliance on self-published materials

  Each of these sources provides independent, in-depth coverage beyond mere mentions, satisfying WP:SIGCOV requirements. The Financial Times is just one among many reliable sources documenting the subject's notable work. Dmytroshestakov (talk) 10:23, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I must respectfully disagree with this dismissal of WP:GNG compliance. Let me demonstrate how the subject meets General Notability Guidelines through significant coverage in reliable sources:

  1. Major Media Coverage:

  • Forbes: Direct coverage of cryptocurrency innovations and market solutions
  • Business Insider: Dedicated coverage of Hacken Ecosystem launch
  • Sifted EU: Featured coverage of university spinout fund initiative
  • Multiple industry publications with in-depth analysis

  2. Substantial Institutional Coverage:

  • NATO DIANA program expert appointment
  • Ukrainian Defense Concern innovation unit development
  • Energy Efficiency Fund ($1 billion) strategy implementation
  • Ukrainian Startup Fund expert council membership

  3. Depth of Coverage (WP:DEPTH):

  • Not merely brief mentions
  • Detailed analysis of contributions
  • Multiple independent sources
  • Sustained coverage over time

  4. Independence of Sources (WP:INDEP):

  • International media coverage
  • Government documentation
  • Academic institutional verification
  • Industry recognition

  5. Recent Additional Recognition:

  • Columbia University Press publication
  • EB-1A visa approval for extraordinary ability
  • London Business School leadership award
  • DARPA-model innovation development

  Each of these sources provides independent, in-depth coverage beyond mere mentions, fully satisfying WP:GNG requirements. The deletion rationale overlooks this comprehensive body of reliable, independent coverage. Dmytroshestakov (talk) 10:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• • Keep The deletion rationale citing only citation counts (WP:PROF#C1) (Criterion a) overlooks multiple notability criteria that the subject meets:

  1. Academic Innovation WP:PROF#C1 Criterion b:

  • Published pioneering methodology for startup risk evaluation through Columbia University Press
  • Methodology validated by former DARPA Director Anthony J. Tether
  • While citation count is currently limited due to 2024 publication, the institutional recognition is significant
  • Dual PhD research contributing to financial instruments for innovative projects

  2. Recognition and Honors (WP:PROF#C1 Criterion 1d,e):

  • Excellence in Leadership Award from London Business School
  • Leadership scholarship from Kyiv-Mohyla Business School
  • EB-1A visa approval ("Einstein Visa") - extraordinary ability recognition by US government

  3. Broader Academic Impact:

  • Professor at National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy
  • Multiple peer-reviewed publications in economics and finance
  • International academic collaboration
  • Leadership in academic innovation initiatives

  4. Additional Notability Criteria:

  • Significant media coverage (Forbes, Business Insider, Sifted EU)
  • Leadership of major national initiatives (Energy Efficiency Fund)
  • Expert roles in international organizations (NATO DIANA)
  • Innovation development with DARPA collaboration

  The US government's recognition through EB-1A status independently validates extraordinary ability in the field. Citation counts alone cannot be the sole metric, especially for recent publications. Dmytroshestakov (talk) 10:42, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The assessment regarding WP:AUTHOR overlooks several key points:

  1. Book Recognition:

  • Published by Columbia University and Ibidem Press (a top-tier academic publisher)
  • Foreword by Anthony J. Tether (former DARPA Director)
  • Reviewed by Dr. Serhiy Kvit (Stanford GSB, former Minister of Education)
  • Published April 2024 - too recent to accumulate extensive reviews
  • Part of selective "Ukrainian Voices" series (vol. 52, ISBN: 978-3-8382-1883-0)

  2. Beyond WP:AUTHOR - Multiple Notability Criteria:

  • WP:PROF (Academic notability)
  • WP:BIO (Biographical notability)
  • WP:GNG (General notability)

  3. Complete Publication Record:

  • Book with Columbia University Press
  • Peer-reviewed academic articles
  • Media publications in respected outlets

  4. Independent Verification:

  • US Government (EB-1A visa for extraordinary ability)
  • NATO DIANA program expertise
  • Academic positions and dual PhDs
  • Forbes, Business Insider, Sifted EU coverage

  The article's notability extends far beyond authorship alone, meeting multiple Wikipedia notability guidelines. The recent publication date of the book should be considered when evaluating its impact. Dmytroshestakov (talk) 10:48, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
