- Delete For the reasons described well in the nomination... translation: "as per nom" :) MrsSnoozyTurtle 01:57, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. He seems very proud of his wartime travel business for Russian oligarchs, but all I could find on him in RS was a brief self-promotional quote by him in a Le Figaro piece on this new niche market [1]. I felt physically ill reading this article. Storchy (talk) 06:07, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- The crazier thing is that I can't find any sources about him prior to like July 2021...and not just reliable sources, unreliable, social media and everything in between, which seems odd given that his self-proclaimed notable company (that he also claims won the Golden Palm Award, which let's just have a moment and laugh at that) was started in 1995. I'm convinced this is at least partially a hoax, in that maybe someone with his name exists but I have serious doubts. For example, his company's website was only registered in 2020, 25 years after it's supposed creation, which sure, 1995 wasn't exactly a happening time for the internet but I have a hard time believing it would take 25 years to register, I have an even harder time believing he formed in 1995 since he appears to be at most in his 30s. Add to that, his supposed profession and those he caters to and has worked with, there's no social media presence whatsoever - aside from a Facebook group, not even business page, formed in June 2020.

- Yes, a Palme d'Or for travel agents, that is bleakly amusing. According to his company's website, though, it's actually an unrelated award called "Golden Palm Leaders of Africa", which I can only find mentioned here. No idea what this level of helicopter-drop SEO and paid coverage costs these days, but yeah, could be a hoax. Storchy (talk) 09:59, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

- Delete - I'd just be rehashing the nomination statement - I agree with it entirely. MaxnaCarta (talk) 08:58, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. There is very to little sourcing that can be found except for self promotion. --Canyouhearmenow 11:50, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, per nomination, pr and self promotion, fails WP:SIGCOV. Shaniquagreen (talk) 15:50, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
