:({{Find sources AFD|title=Felix Shpilman}})

absolutely none of the sources are in depth coverage of Shpilman and I can find nothing better about them elsewhere. Might be suitable for a redirect to Emerging Travel Group but certainly there is no notability otherwise, as it's all press releases and passing mentions. COOLIDICAE🕶 19:19, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople and Russia. Shellwood (talk) 19:21, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
• Comment: Independent, in-depth coverage in major business outlets—The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Business Insider—is complemented by substantial Russian reporting in Коммерсантъ, РБК, and Forbes Russia. Together these sources span 2011-2025, easily satisfying the WP:GNG and WP:BIO depth-of-coverage tests. As long-time CEO of Emerging Travel Group, a multibillion-dollar company, Felix Shpilman is routinely profiled in articles that go far beyond routine announcements. The entry may benefit from routine copy-editing, but the sourcing is plainly sufficient, so deletion is unwarranted. — Pagarizantali (talk) 19:05, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
• Keep – Independent, in-depth coverage is plentiful: internationally, Wall Street Journal reported on Shpilman’s Start Fund role (2011) and the Ostrovok/ETG investor dispute (2014), Skift ran a strategy deep-dive on Emerging Travel Group (2023), and Fast Company ME profiled RateHawk’s AI work (2025); within Russia he is repeatedly profiled or interviewed in major business media—Forbes Russia travel-sector features, a full-page Kommersant (2018), prime-time segments on RBC TV (2020), and Vedomosti’s investment analyses (2014)—together easily meeting WP:GNG and WP:BIO.
