This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Cryptocurrency. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Cryptocurrency|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Cryptocurrency. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

An article on a crypto-exchange company, created in a promotional way in a promo tone, with most references only passing mentioning the subject. The available coverage is insufficient to meet WP:CORPDEPTH 89KimberlyRoad (talk) 12:10, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bloomberg and other kind of good sources have only passing mentions of the subject. The available coverage is insufficient to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. Finmagnets and other sources are press releases mainly. 89KimberlyRoad (talk) 12:11, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Only passing mentions of the subject with little or absent deep media coverage per WP:CORPDEPTH. Not enough notability, remove. 89KimberlyRoad (talk) 12:13, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The crypto exchange with sources only based on 1 event - stealing of 200 mln usd. Literally all 5 sources in the References are only about the same event. Not ready for Wikipedia and not enough reliable sources to establish notability per WP CORPDEPTH 89KimberlyRoad (talk) 12:15, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Cryptocurrency, Finance, Companies, and Hong Kong. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:22, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I found this article from Arabian Business which was published before the September 2023 hack and provides a few sentences of coverage about the subject. If the consensus is against a standalone article, I support a merge/redirect to Cryptocurrency and crime#Exchanges (where Mixin is mentioned) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow editors to selectively merge any content that can be reliably sourced to the target article. A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future.

Limited coverage in mostly poor-quality sources. The Business Insider piece is probably the strongest source in terms of significant coverage and reliability, but even that is questionable. The rest are either trivial mentions or unreliable sources. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 15:48, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, Cryptocurrency, and China. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 15:48, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I would like to point out one of the major contributors of this article appears to be a paid editor finding excuses to remove negative information about Yubo Ruan and OneFootball while expanding their Wikipedia content with questionable sources. 128.100.1.18 (talk) 23:39, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom - David Gerard (talk) 23:14, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - a perpetually up and coming but actually run of the mill business person. Previously deleted, recreated, and edited by sock puppets. Bearian (talk) 04:17, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. The sources I found largely were about a single event in 2014, his exhibiting a smart piggy bank at the Los Angeles Science and Technology Week when he was 18 years old (1, 2, and 3). The Business Insider article published in 2022 is a questionable source as the nominator noted. The more recent sources were passing mentions or coverage in unreliable sources. I would support retention if Yubo Ruan (Chinese: 阮宇博) received significant coverage in a reliable source that wasn't about the 2014 event. Cunard (talk) 10:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable crypto nonsense. Even by the low bar of our crypto standards, it’s still not notable. Lacks any meaningful independent coverage and is, like most crypto in 2024, a dime a dozen. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 20:45, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Cryptocurrency, Companies, and Malaysia. Shellwood (talk) 21:02, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: CoinGecko has been used in academic research ([1], [2]) and their API has brief tutorials in various books ([3], [4]). The coverage within each source is thin, so I'm not sure whether it's enough for a GNG pass. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 23:03, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Sourcing I find is strictly primary. I don't think the sources above add to notability either. Nothing for GNG here. Oaktree b (talk) 23:26, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I also did some google scholar searches and this company is used a lot as a data source. Some news orgs rely on their data too. I found this from Journal of Data Science in Germany which uses them throughout a lengthy article as one of two examples of a data provider and this conference proceeding which has a paragraph and bullet points that explain their services. Oblivy (talk) 23:29, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as it stands - Coingecko is important inside crypto, but I'm surprised to see zero RSes on this article - it's all crypto blogs. There are RSes that mention Coingecko in passing, but nothing I know of that's about Coingecko. We can have an article when we have RS coverage sufficient to pass WP:NCORP - David Gerard (talk) 23:16, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
