Doesn't meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Last AfD attracted only two commenters and was 7 years ago. Boleyn ( talk) 21:50, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTRESUME, WP:SOAP, WP:GNG, and WP:TNT. This is basically a hagiography of a living person that is written plainly to spread his religious work. Wikipedia is a private, non-sectarian charity, not a Christian version of LinkedIn or Indeed. There's nothing he's done that even approaches general notability. The award of Order of the Three Stars does not automatically confer notability, and being a republic, an award from Latvia can not be the same as a knighthood. Even if the subject were notable, this is so poorly written and formatted that it would have to be completely re-written to be an encyclopedic article. Bearian ( talk) 17:10, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTRESUME and wikipedia:Propaganda as the site appears to be getting used for religious promotional purposes of sorts when there is no real notability. TruthGuardians ( talk) 08:10, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- Weak Keep I'm willing to be talked out of this, and agree that the article as it stands is abysmal propaganda, but why doesn't the Gold Medal of Honor of the Order of the Three Stars he received NOT confer notability, since it is the highest civilian award in Latvia? Per WP:ANYBIO notability guidelines: "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times."

Britishfinance ( talk) 21:00, 22 November 2019 (UTC) Britishfinance I have actually been editing since 2015 under the name ABF99 but lost access to that account, which I state on my current account page. I'm not here as a fan or promoter of this guy, just asking an honest question. ABF992 ( talk) 01:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
