Not independently notable from his company. First AfD closed as "keep" but the first user to comment was blocked for socking soon after, second user blocked soon after for WP:PAID violations, third user links to search results full of unreliable sources, interviews, and mentions, and the fourth is only a "weak keep".

• Keep Seems well-sourced and notable.-- Geewhiz ( talk) 15:03, 24 January 2019 (UTC) reply
• Very weak keep. Can totally understand Џ's line of reasoning and find it a harder case. Definitely not well-sourced, but maybe barely passing. And while usually associated with company, seems to be known and covered independently (in scene: 1, 2,...). Don't have enough experince with business (executives) yet, though, to cast a "definitive" vote...-- Ruhri Jörg 15:23, 24 January 2019 (UTC) reply
• Weak Keep. My !vote is qualified weak as I'm actually missing a source that really discusses him in depth (though several sources come close (and this university newsletter probably is in-depth - but not of a quality I'd want to use), and one could built a fairly lengthy bio off of what I do see) - but my hunch is I'm missing this in all of the crud (over 210 google news hits in English, also coverage in Hebrew, a few books hits - the customer facing business gets covered and Assia gets interviewed as an expert, etc.). This guy has been receiving coverage for a decade and a half (mid-2000s) for a number of different ventures - eToro, crypto currencies, his wife's iAngels venture (where coverage tends to mention him), and a smattering of other ventures, board seats and roles. The company he founded (and is the CEO of) is fairly significant - e.g. they just had a 100 million dollar round ( [1] [2]). He's definitely high profile in terms of media coverage (which generates alot of crud sources). Based on his business/venture records and the amount of hits I'm seeing I do have an expectation that coverage is out there. Icewhiz ( talk) 15:40, 24 January 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Not sure that makes him notable independent of the company, though. Maybe redirect there? - David Gerard ( talk) 08:20, 29 January 2019 (UTC) reply
    • He has coverage that is independent of eToro (e.g. crypto currencies, iAngels, various board seats and roles in other companies/ventures). Icewhiz ( talk) 08:41, 29 January 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete, not good BLP coverage - passing mentions in eToro publicity pushes and crypto blogs. This is not in any manner the level of sourcing to WP:BLP standards - it's cobbled-together synthesis at best - David Gerard ( talk) 10:30, 25 January 2019 (UTC) reply
  • A redirect to eToro might be appropriate, though - David Gerard ( talk) 08:20, 29 January 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete: Does not meet WP:ANYBIO. Not independently notable of the company, significant RS coverage not found. Please also see: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/1-555-confide. -- K.e.coffman ( talk) 00:30, 29 January 2019 (UTC) reply

• Delete per David Gerard. Can't see much notability here. Number 5 7 11:07, 10 February 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete: Per David Gerard. The missing source that discusses the subject "in depth" is what is necessary to pass notability. Otr500 ( talk) 19:51, 10 February 2019 (UTC) reply
