This article doesn't meet the requirements of the WP:BIO because his company is not a leader in its industry yet. Unfortunately Fedotov also doesn't meet the requirements for WP:SPORTSPERSON. The editors of ru-wiki have been discussing his importance as a businessman and sportsman for over a year. As a result, his biography was deleted. So I propose to remove the English version too until the time when the company is sufficiently influential in the market, and this can be confirmed by sources.

Hello everyone! When I've created this article, Fedotov was frequently seen in the news, and as inexperienced as I was, I thought he was worth mentioning as a sportsmen, he was a member of the German national under-19 basketball team in 2003-2005. Also, while studying at the Buffalo University, he was a forward-center of the Buffalo Bulls men's basketball team. I'm not sure what criteria there are for sportsmen' notability, but if it's not enough for Wiki, let it be removed, then.—ELindas (talk) 22:03, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• He doesn't continue his sports career. Youthful achievements in themselves are not significant. He started his business career in large private and public companies but quickly left there as well. He started a personal business and hasn't developed it to a wiki-significant size yet. The article looks slick but I propose to wait for unambiguous evidence of its significance.Ontrix (talk) 12:11, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
