An article with a very problematic history. Its creator, Kcosip, has been blocked for sockpuppetry ( Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kcosip/Archive), but also previously showed COI, PROMO, and so on. It has been thoroughly edited by new single-purpose accounts. Talk:Dadvan Yousuf is full of IPs, blocked accounts. Likewise, this article appears to be a piece of PROMO. As another editor noted on its talkpage, the notability is very questionable per WP:NBIO and WP:NBUSINESSPERSON. Aintabli ( talk) 00:38, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: I've just placed the article under indefinite ECP under
WP:GS/Crypto due to what looks very like extensive commercial sockpuppetry -

- I did a lot of work on this article in August to clean it up, but it dropped from my Watchlist so I missed the edits over the last few months. The indefinite protection might help. I'd be happy to revert to my previous version which I feel is more balanced, and I did a lot of work getting it to that stage. But also happy to Delete. Qcne (talk) 08:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

- Keep was likely PROMO, but source 12 is solid, in a RS. [1], further coverage for opening a "crypto school" that was shut down by the regulators. These don't appear to be "allegations", but fraudulent activities. Doesn't perhaps pass criminal notability, but should be enough for GNG. Oaktree b ( talk) 17:01, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- also coverage in French [2] and [3]. He's being investigated for money laundering [4] and [5] Oaktree b ( talk) 17:06, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
