PROD with the rationale Self-Promotion of Non-Notable Person was contested by Aspects, contestion was undone but the article is now not eligible for soft deletion. I'm inclined to think coverage as a whistleblower in 2008 makes him a WP:BIO1E, but A) cannot read Latvian and B) it's a really borderline case, because he comes up fairly often in news articles on the crisis. I found passing mentions of his roles in lots of places, but would argue that doesn't substantiate his stand-alone notability. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 19:05, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

• Merge or Redirect to Parex Bank. Since that seems to be what he is mostly attached to when it comes to coverage and there isn't enough at this point to substantiate a separate article on him IMO. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:49, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
• Redirect to Parex as suggested. The sourcing is terrible, and the only claims to notability are via WP:NOTINHERITED. Bearian (talk) 20:13, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
