Strong Delete - Appears to be involved with small businesses, small support organizations, etc. Award mentioned is part of a purchased book review service. Nothing here to indicate WP:GNG is met. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:13, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Changed my opinion to strong delete - I'd tag for speedy if we weren't already here. I'll also note that the Bulgarian version was speedied in 2021 and is tagged with concerns for sourcing as well (according to Google Translate, at least). Tony Fox (arf!) 17:20, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is non sense guys! Iliyan is a super star in Bulgaria and London Uk, what is wrong with you, just check google! Probably some kids were playing with his page, but he is a Very Big One here! By the way he made a WOW in Turkey as well. Moreover he is helping Ukrainianes and is hated by the Russian propaganda machine. Why you dont check that!

One things concern me very much in this article. Why the guy who created the original mess is not here to provide explanations. It is very strange, because originally the page has nothing common with the Bulgarian Page. Even there are thousands of sources, the guy was using few fakes. It was very strange, and now is even more strange. It was looking as a joke with Iliyan, but now... And yes, what is the problem with the biggest medias in EU, owned by the US medias?

Hello, I do not know who made this article(it looks as anti- advertising by someone who does not like the author), but Iliyan Kuzmanov is the most famous Bulgarian writer and social enterpreneur in this moment! He is a social enterpreneur who is fighting coruption, human trafficing, domestic violence, gender aquality, and freedom of though, he is a real hero in Bulgaria! Please let me help improve this article. By accident I discover this mess, but deffinetly was made by someone who does not like the writer. He is victimise by the Russian propaganda in Bulgaria, because of helping the LGDP comunity and Ukrainian refugees. I am his huge fan, and I willingly help to corect the injustice. Here is his Bulgarian Wikipedia Page:

comment - The edit you have done on the article has actually worsened its condition. There are some serious problems with sourcing; let's look at a few that really stand out (the English ones; my Bulgarian is nonexistent). Ref 2 is some sort of blog, no byline, and very glowing, almost as if self-written. 11 is a fake newspaper - one of those ones that pretends to be something big and sells coverage; the editor they list doesn't appear to exist. 26 is a press release. 44... honestly, what the hell. FilmDaily appears to be trash, probably paid service; coverage of the award is by fake sites that are certainly paid services (and they all misspell Hemingway). 45 is also almost certainly paid - it is exactly the same structure as the coverage of the FilmDaily awards, and has similar wording. All in all, this is almost certainly an attempt to buy notability for this subject. Thank you, though, for providing more evidence for us to consider. Tony Fox (arf!) 17:08, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Tony, I did a 100% translate of the Buglarian wiki. And was using all the sources from there. I will provide all the national medias that are missing in the bulgarian article. The guy was on and on on tv and newspapers, I know his work from my hometown. Take into account that Bulgaria is with one of the worst corruption ratios, and people like this one are like rare gems here....

These are National Tv Networks and National Radio Stations. Will replace the weak sources. And will be happy for assistance. I donn't know who did the original page, but was a real mess.

Can you provide any reference that explains the Top 20 Amazon rank? Because he's currently in the mid-118,000s on Kindle (it's only available as an e-book, looks like), but is higher in a few of the e-book subgenres. Every article where it's mentioned only says "Top 20" but doesn't say what top 20. Also, I'm still very concerned that most of the English coverage of the subject is in paid-placement sources. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:49, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tony, in the sources is BNT, NTV and BTV- the 3 major National Networks in Bulgaria. There is Tv Evropa, that is Euronews now, the major EU tv network, with around 300 milions subscribers. In the sources mentioned here is BTA- Bulgarian Telegraph Agency, the bigest Balcan Info Network, milions of people around the world are using it, Reuters is major partner. BNR and Darik are the bigest radio networks around. All of them speaks about it. Maybe they all did fact checks or checked with Amazon, what do you think? These are the bigest and most influential medias, most owned by major Western companies. Or maybe you are well informed than all them. I really do not understand what is happening here, really bizare issue. Moreover to not believe to all these medias and to be so determinent in blaming someone. Really no words! Check Google Bulgaria, check Google Turkey- 10 ot Thousends sources, about a real hero, and here someone is trying to make a joke from him. StoyanUbenov (talk) 19:39, 24 May 2022 (UTC)— StoyanUbenov (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

That's all great, but absolutely none of the sources I've seen have mentioned the actual metric being measured. They all say "Top 20 on Amazon." His book is currently #1,119,423 in the Kindle Store; to go from top 15 to that in the space of several months is a pretty big fall, so I can only assume that it made the top 20 in one of the subcategories; I know that on one viewing of the page it was #37 in 'teen philosophy e-books' or somesuch. This is the challenge - we have extraordinary claims being made, but the sourcing is very concerning, simply because there are a lot of obviously paid-for articles in the English sphere. I again can't speak to Bulgarian sources, but I am going to encourage more eyes to review them. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:15, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tony, you assume one of the sources was crap, the other probably was paid... Now you assume that all the rest of the medias are biassed, even Euronews and Reuters. I am speachless man. By the way, Euronews, NTV and BTV said, yes 15 in Top 20, that means your Bulgarian or Russian is preaty good, congratulations!

And you dont mention the print medias, newspapers in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Turkey, 45, 000 results with the name Илиян Кузманов, probably you assumed that all is paid? The guy probably is a richer than Musk to make such PR. And helping so many people, thousend of reffugees, women victims of traffic, prisons, homeless.... and you assume that all that is paid and not real? Increadible assumptions you are making! But again, congratulations for your Russian or Bulgarian language skills, initially you didnt have at all!

Assume good faith in dealing with other editors, please. I'm not assuming anything of the Bulgarian sources you've provided, because I can't read them beyond using Google to translate the pages. I also haven't made any claims that he hasn't helped people, because again I can't read or understand beyond machine translation of some of the sites you provided. The sources that I have seen, the English sources that are available, are significantly, in my opinion and drawing on years of experience on Wikipedia, paid promotion. If you would like to cast further aspersions on my motives, please feel free. Tony Fox (arf!) 22:00, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tony Fox, if you assume good faith, you have to take into account few things, but you are really determined to not:

1. There is a protocol for existing page translations- and the page was translated(after the effort of someone unknown to make harm to one of the famoust bulgarian social enterpreneurs and writers).

2. 45, 000 results in Google about the name Илиян Кузманов, among them some of the bigest medias in EU and Turkey

3. From those 45, 000 sources, strangely, someone choose few, not very credible, 5 or 6 to be honest. Strangley why targeted them. And you make assumptions, that they are paid. But how about the rest 44, 995?

4. You point few things, that in your opinion, but not in the opinion for example of Euronews and Reuters, with more than a billion readers is fact checked information. And how about all the rest- the guy on first place is famous with his good deeds to society. Even his book in Bulgaria is for free, and copyright claims, because of the Pandemic and Economic Crisis now? He did whay more to change my society for good. And Wikipedia core is that?

5. Why no wonder, who made the original article, and why was made in such a way? Moreover, for example the Russian propaganda that is going around, and the trouble Iliyan had with Russian mafia, for example in London Uk(there are many articles about that). Even his second book is inspired by a russian prostitute he felt in love, and he got in a lot of problems. Why no questions about that? Because in my opinion, it was very strange.

From the looks of the article history, the article was created by someone who brought it over from .bg, but edited down. I don't know why it's being called problematic, it looks pretty similar to what's there now, just shorter.

As for the rest of your comments, my opinion stands: versions of this article have included references to paid marketing material, which, in my opinion, calls into question other sourcing; and the subject in question does not meet notability guidelines for authors. It is for other editors to take my comments, your comments, and the article as a whole and make their own decisions as to the suitability of this article for this encyclopedia. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:39, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I hope that someone from the editors to take into the account, and look deeper the original article that was created by someone who disappeared from his "good work" according to Tony Fox. I hope also in assume good faith, someone will look all comments, from the first to the last of Tony Fox, who is doubting everything, but not the person who created the original. How from thousands and thousands different sources about a person with hundreds good deeds, someone took few not very credible sources, and created this whole issue. I hope that the most important in Wiki community is about our contribution to the society, and started with the idea about contributing society. And in this good spirit, lets be honest.

Please, it is an urban myth about the Russian escort and that he felt in love! The problems came when he destroyed a Russian human traffic network in Bulgaria.

That is really great. From everything was paid, we went to what exactly place in Amazon,... and questionig the honesty of such big medias...by the way BTV was part of FOX Network, and NTV now is a part of UK group, that owns medias in many countries around the globe.

And why you don't ask the guy who created that nonsense initially? Why was created such "funny" article about such controversial figure now in Bulgaria? Who is targeted by the Russian propaganda. Iliyan is a journalist, writing about very interesting topics. Maybe really someone has to question the author of the article.

Guys, I don't know what is happening here, but Iliyan Kuzmanov is the most famous Bulgarian author now and a person who fight corruption and help a lot of people. You could check google:

Hello everyone, I also discovered this article by chance. Iliyan is my favorite journalist and writer in Bulgaria. He is big social entrepreneur, person with heart and soul who is a real life changer for a lot of people. Please, allow me to help enhance the article that looks really unprofessional!

I would like to summarise what I saw in this article.

1. It was made not well sourced very purposeful article by someone, who just manipulate the info, and even did not defend what he did. The purpose was clear to diminish the social role of Iliyan Kuzmanov, or even blackmail him with such biased information and compromised sourced(5 or 6), nevertheless that there are thousands of sources, some of which are all major Bulgarian medias, and some of the big EU medias. But obviously the purpose of the author was not in the good faith and good intentions of Wikipedia.

2. Advocates of the author work- please read all the comments, and all the arguments. Please also read, how Iliyan Kuzmanov lost his social business in London, why, the involvement of the Russian Mafia and ect. I will include a lot of sources at the end. The involvement of Iliyan in many criminal cases in Bulgaria, his ability to solve and help women victims of human trafficking, and always the Russian lead. Please take into account his last causes, his help to Ukrainian immigrants, his talks about the corruption in Bulgarian. And please ask the question, why someone was victimised, and the info about him was biased purposefully even there are so many things he did for the society- starting from Afghanistan, Ukraine, Bulgaria, UK, and even finishing in Canada. Let’s be honest with ourselves.

3. About Iliyan. I will start from (even in Canada he was working as a social worker, and was part of the municipal elections in Montreal) UK. It was not a coffee shop, it was a cultural hub very important for us, Bulgarians, even our major educational institution put him at a major research, part of the book “Bulgarian cultural heritage in migration.”- even that I think is enough. But I will continue, the place was a library, few thousand books, different languages. The place was helping people, in different way. The place was different from anything else.

Bulgaria and his work with the minorities. I just want to mention, that Iliyan Kuzmanov is the only Bulgarian social entrepreneur who fully is financing his work, 100%, only through his business. No one is doing that in Bulgaria, that is Number One in Corruption in EU, stealing EU founds. A problem Iliyan always say!

Even his books are social provocation. Iliyan many times said that is a big fan of Banksy, and art is for free. His first book for Christmas was given for free to the Bulgarian public. And he asked more artists and writers to join him, followed by none. His book was generating money for big literature prize, just to say “people, stop stealing money from the budget”. All that were provocation a la Banksy, by one huge admire of him… DorraG (talk) 06:45, 28 May 2022 (UTC)— DorraG (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Strong delete No secondary coverage attesting notability; Google results are positively choked with rambling paid-for content meant to resemble newspaper articles. The number of new editors who have "coincidentally" stumbled onto this debate to spam links isn't a great sign either. --MasqueDesRonces (talk) 17:04, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Are you serious? I can not understand one thing- how you can pay for all that content? 45, 000 results? All national TV networks, Radios, News Agencies that are part of Euronews and Reuters, tons of newspapers... And someone made an article taking 4/5 presumebley paid articles, because I can find press releases. Even I found few hundred press releases made probabley by the publishing company of the writer, or by himself. And you blindley do not take that into account.

Moreover, the writing is probabley 10% of the article, he is a social enterpreneur who helped thousend of people. About that there are again tons of article. And you did not care about these 90% at all.

You do not take into account, that someone just made a very controversial original article, completley different than the original Bulgarian. If someone wanted to make something positive, the easiest way was to do translation, and there was no hustle here. But someone made an original English language article, with few controversial articles. And you do not ask yourself why? You do not find that strange? You do not find strange the coments for strong delete after, even there was 100% translation, and all the sources where augmanted?

Delete - I looked at the existing sources and agree that they are poor. I translated a few of the above sources and they are also poor. Neither the book, the bistro or his foundation have received sufficient media coverage to demonstrate notability. The book has been discussed above as a top 20 Amazon seller, but there are no sources for this besides primary sources likely supplied by the subject. It was self-published by his foundation. His activism suggests that he's a good person, but the sources don't meet the threshold we require to demonstrate notability. Fails WP:GNG.

Delete - this is a hot mess. Cosigning on most of what's been written above - poor sourcing, misleading "award" from paid review service, no indication of WP:GNG, and the major red flag of the folks dropping link spam. Paradox society 08:14, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is total bias here! Totaly not objective, and all is misleading. Paradoxsociety- ufcorse you can say that all is fake, paid, ect. But in Wikipedia, is there any objectiveness? So many arguments, about all sources, and someone just pop up and say false, delete, paid, fake...?

Agree with the rest? Or agree with the objective facts? Marko Kralev (talk) 15:17, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All of it There is no doubt he is a compassionate and sensitive man but evidence for inclusion of an article on WP isn't here. I looked at the first block of references which were translated with the new Firefox offline translator which works remarkably well, on a ref per ref basis. They are mixture of profiles, a dody looked architecture magazine, interviews, front page of newspaper and lots of passing mentions and other kinds of odd content. None of it salient. While he has written a book and could potentially pass WP:NAUTHOR, I didn't find a critical reviews of the books. Two decen reviews would do it. The refs that are there are primary, interview, but not really secondary source. The best best bet for authors is in this situation is book reviews, from a real magazine, not mickey mouse stuff, not good reads or some review site. Real critical analysis. Hope that helps. scope_creep^Talk 10:56, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
