 * As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article. It is very difficult to show notability or student magazines.  DGG ( talk ) 05:36, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Cryptocurrency related pages are under special measures
Hello, Userbrn. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

All cryptocurrency related content you insert must be backed by reliable sources. Cryptocurrency enthusiast sites are not reliable sources. MER-C 18:45, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi MER-C, I was hoping you could clarify two things for me. The first of which is about the location of my draft. Right now, I am working on my article on 0xBitcoin under the user:Userbrn page. Should I be working on it on the draft page or can I continue working here? The second question I had was regarding the conflict of interest. I would say that I am a community member (active in the Discord channel and subreddit) and I also hold the cryptocurrency personally. Does my involvement as a community member warrant disclosure? The reason I ask is because 0xBitcoin is entirely community based, having no core development team unlike the vast majority of ERC20 tokens on Ethereum; it is a decentralized project that anyway can build on top of without permission. I obviously am aware that holding the cryptocurrency warrants a disclosure. Let me know how you suggest I proceed! Userbrn (talk) 19:10, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I bring this up because I am not confident that by the time my article is finished it will be considered noteworthy, so I would like the have the option to keep it as a work in progress and communicate with community editors over the next few months to determine if and when it achieves that status. I'm hoping to respect the special guidelines on cryptocurrencies and avoid the impression that I'm pushing something through as an advertisement. Userbrn (talk) 19:18, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The holding of cryptocurrencies is the key one to disclose and should be enough, unless you're also being paid to market the token. You can have as much time to develop the draft, but given the very low tolerance to new cryptocurrency articles I cannot guarantee that it won't get deleted. The probability of deletion rises significantly if submitted. You prove noteworthiness by showing that reputable publications have significantly covered this token on its own merits (such as full articles in mainstream financial media).

 * Sure, sounds good; I'm not being paid to market the token. Are you saying it's possible that even on my User page it would get deleted, without me moving it into the main site? Is there a better place to work on a draft, perhaps? Userbrn (talk) 18:28, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes: they are publicly visible, though very much out of the way. I delete many unsubmitted, very promotional drafts every day. The safest place is, of course, keeping a local copy on your computer. MER-C 08:50, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Great, I appreciate your help. Reach out if you have any concerns. I'll try to add to my article over time. Userbrn (talk) 23:57, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
