BLP of a Ukrainian businessman. The sources in the article are passing mentions with no in-depth coverage. A search in Cyrillic doesn’t bring up anything better. The only potential claim of notability I can see is the conferral of the Order of St. Equal to Apostles Prince Vladimir, 3rd Class, but that doesn’t sound like enough on its own.

• Delete - promotional article (although an attempt has been made to make it less so), but there is not the enough of the type of the in-depth coverage needed to pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:47, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
• Keep @Mccapra and Onel5969: This publication in Ukrainian by one of the leading independent publishers Interfax-Ukraine demonstrates the in-depth coverage of Makovetskyi's personality. This businessman has founded, owns and manages the 3rd biggest retail chain in Ukraine. --Perohanych (talk) 18:00, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
• Comment well that piece is marked at the bottom as advertising and it is clearly a profile supplied by the subject and not an independent piece of writing. Mccapra (talk) 18:50, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

  Excuse me, @Mccapra:, I do not see any mark of advertising. Please let me know the exact text of the advertising mark. I would not say that the profile was supplied by the subject and not by independent journalists. --Perohanych (talk) 21:38, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

• • At the bottom of the page it says “РЕКЛАМА”. Mccapra (talk) 21:42, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
    • Dear @Mccapra:, This Word “РЕКЛАМА” is presented several times on this page. But none of them has anything to do with information about Makovetskyi. All these are third-party advertising blocks of other products and services that are not related to Makovetskyi. --Perohanych (talk) 18:44, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
      • OK thanks for explaining that and sorry if I misunderstood. However, I think it is pretty clear that the content of the article is basically a LinkedIn-type profile which is pretty certainly just provided by the subject. Let's suppose I am wrong - even so this single source is not sufficient to support a stand-along biography on Wikipedia. I'll leave it to other editors now to take a look and see what they think.

        • Well, there are also many interviews with him, including

• Redirect to Foxtrot (company) where Valerii Makovetskyi is mentioned, so there is a target – interviews are not reliable independent sources per WP:INTERVIEW – does not meet WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO – cheers, Epinoia (talk) 17:06, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

I agree a redirect makes sense. Mccapra (talk) 17:41, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

• Keep I have gone through the article, although very less references are available but the subject seems to be holding strong position to stay on Wikipedia, I have checked the Foxtrot company page and news sources that are available on the article page as well as on internet. The subject has been featured in sources that talk about his company, those reputable sources have accepted subject's information so I believe the subject is good to go for this article. I have also checked these sources and also this Syoz (talk) 12:41, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

— Syoz (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Delete - I think it is a delete based on WP:BASIC..."People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." I've reviewed all the sources above by Syoz and Perohanych and really saw no independent sources IMHO. All the sources are profiling of the subject of the article or his business.
