Because this has been moved previously to draft space (twice!) my desire to draftify would mean I would be move warring. Thus I am required to bring it to AfD because I am unable to edit it to address my concerns.

The article purports to be about the person, but is about the corporation. As a draft I would have declined it with that rationale, suggesting it be either or both split into two, assuming the person to be notable, for the person and the corporation, or repurposed to be about the corporation alone assuming the person not to be notable.

I am nominating it to be Returned to Draft and only to be moved to main space after a review. I note and agree with the banner that suggests it to be written like an advert. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 13:58, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is covered promotion and advertisement in this article. It needs fundamental rewrite up to meet encyclopedia. Katobara (talk) 15:43, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Volodymyr Levykin - This biography has notability and tone problems.
- Biography is mostly about company rather than person, and so largely misses biographical notability.
- The author says, on the talk page, 'Concerning to "content that is written like an advertisement" - please specify what sentences are written like an advertisement' - Author is asking reviewers to rework article into neutral form.
- Second sentence of lede reads: "He is a space and tech entrepreneur with a track record of launching and managing innovative businesses in the UK and Silicon Valley." That is resume language.
- Environmental and Social Impact section begins: "Volodymyr intends Skyrora to be ecologically-sustainable." That is about the company, not about the subject, and is advertising language.
- Article has been moved twice to draft space, by User:NenChemist and User:scope creep, and moved twice back to article space by author.
- Article has been reference-bombed with 28 references. Have not reviewed the references, and should not be expected to review the references. Biography does not speak for itself in explaining how subject satisfies general notability.
- Disagree respectfully with moving back to draft, because the article needs to be blown up and started over. If a neutral editor wants to start from the beginning, they don't need this.

@Robert McClenon I understand your sentiments regarding re-draftification. Even so, I see no obstacle to the thing being reworked in Draft: space. Either or the other works well. The article as it stands today is not appropriate. Your analysis is spot on. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 17:22, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect or Delete if not possible. I moved it to draft and expected it to be updated, but it more company references as opposed to BLP style references when it was done. If it can't redirect then delete. It is currently a diguised brochure article. I don't understand why. I think it is just a case the paid editing crowd attempting to get his article on, but don't have much to flesh it out. There is a article on the rocket company already, so it is a bit of lost cause. scope_creep^Talk 03:10, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. I just moved it to draft per consensus here and per nominator - Timtrent. Topic is probably notable. More citations should be added, the tone and style could be fixed too. --FossLimi (talk) 08:01, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @FossLimi: I've reversed this move; unless you are closing the AfD (which I think would be inappropriate at this point) you should not move the article under discussion to draftspace. Elli (talk | contribs) 00:25, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
