Seeming autobiography, or WP:COI with a close personal connection WP:SPA, about a non-notable individual. Continuous removal of maintenance tags ([1] and [2]) and failure to adhere to WP:BLP in regards to unsourced sentences and paragraphs.

The few sources contained are PR re-releases and at least four of the sources are identical. The remaining either do not meet WP:RS or are mentions only in passing. A WP:BEFORE search reveals very little about the individual aside from social media accounts and press releases. Sentences like "He is considered one of the influential persons in area of telecommunications security." were borderline WP:G11. Mkdw ^talk 00:51, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Tags are ok, however, large portion of the biography has been removed which is very notable in the industry and cited properly. The lead to multiple undo actions, since tags were placed at the same commit with text removal including two most notable companies, routotelecom (Now TeleSign) and CS Networks, which employs more then 2000 engineers today. Tags are removed by undo action. Please put them separately. --Ancistrus80 (talk) 00:58, 8 January 2017 (UTC) — Ancistrus80 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep as per Google Scholar Guy demonstrated first ever call forwarding exploit, allowing hacker to divert any phone number without user consent. This material has been used latter for multiple academic articles and advanced audio stenography. Notable enough for me.

Keep due to notable works in field of SS7 interconnection exploits and multiple telecommunication companies formed.--GoaInsomnia (talk) 23:54, 8 January 2017 (UTC) — GoaInsomnia (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Delete as clear advertising and while the article makes every attempt to be sourced at every sentence and word, the sources themselves are actually all published and republished PR so it shows the only motivations, actions and activities here all exist for PR also given the fact there's numerous SPAs here, defending the said PR with extra PR. Our policies are not only violated for such advertising, but worse when it's made to emulate an "acceptable article". SwisterTwister talk 01:27, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Guys, I'm Stefan Certic, and if you think page is not notable please delete it immediately. I find it hard to imagine this witch hunt in few days before i should run a political campaign, someone digs year old page and starts doing this. This deletion box is hurting me and my campaign, so please delete my page if you don't think it deserve to be present. My apologies if someone broke any of WikiPedia rules trying to help me, but this is making me more damage. If you need to confirm i'm actual person in question, email me at public@certic.info Thanks in advance. Disclaimer: I do have hired PR, but no-one was instructed to spam Wikipedia or brake any rules, not only here but anywhere. Apologies again if anyone i hired made any mess. Thank You. --StefanCertic (talk) 03:19, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello StefanCertic, thank you for this message. It very much helps explain the activity we have seen. I have left you some comments on your user talk page to clarify the situation for you and the PR company that has been operating multiple accounts here on the English Wikipedia.
