Purely promotional Amigao (talk) 03:37, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • I respectfully disagree with the characterization of "purely promotional" for these reasons:
1. Source Quality and Independence:
- All major claims are supported by exclusively independent, third-party sources without any references to personal websites, blogs or current company materials
- Coverage comes from established media outlets (Forbes, Business Insider, Sifted EU)
- Academic work is verified through institutional repositories and peer-reviewed journals
- Professional roles are documented by the organizations themselves (NATO DIANA, DARPA, Ukrainian Startup Fund)
2. Notable Impact and Recognition:
- The article documents verifiable achievements rather than promotional claims
- Leadership roles influenced significant national initiatives (Energy Efficiency Fund, defense innovation)
- Academic contributions include peer-reviewed research and a scholarly book published by Columbia University Press
- Recognition comes from established institutions rather than self-promotion
3. Public Interest:
- Work spans multiple fields of public significance (defense innovation, energy efficiency, academic research)
- Contributions to national and international organizations demonstrate broader impact
- Innovations in blockchain technology and research integrity have wider societal implications
4. Article Tone and Sources:
- Content focuses on factual information and verifiable accomplishments
- Claims are consistently supported by reliable third-party citations
- The article deliberately avoids any promotional materials, personal blogs, or current company websites
- Language maintains Wikipedia's neutral point of view and encyclopedic standards
These elements suggest the article serves an encyclopedic purpose supported entirely by independent sources rather than promotional content. Dmytroshestakov (talk) 07:31, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Considering my comments and the links provided below.
Repetitive filibuster

@Amigao Respectfully, let me disagree with you.
1. According to the Deletion Policy, namely the Reasons for Deletion List and the criteria displayed therein, the article is not promotional in nature. The article does not contain announcements and links to products and services for sale. The article and the data posted in it contain relevant or encyclopedic content, which is verified by the number of valid links.
I would also like to return with your permission if you consider this statement to be PR or your own promotion.
2. The article is written from a Neutral Point of View, which means representing fairly, proportionately.
The article is written in an unbiased manner with no accents indicating promotion. The article contains references to documented facts indicating the neutrality of the position. For example, references to publications in respected media and references to scientific papers in scientific journals.
3. The credibility of the facts and statements provided in the article are Verifiable, as is also evidenced by the references to sources.
4. The material provided, the facts, statements and ideas placed in it are referenced to a Reliable Published Source.
5. The writing style is written in a neutral tone with balance (Biographies_of_living_persons):
The article is written without understatement or exaggeration. Exaggeration could indicate a desire to create a promotional environment.
The article is written in an unbiased manner and does not contain praise or flattering comments. Михайло Зеленко (talk) 11:44, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
