 * Comment A search on Google News with the relevant keywords (Asia Nexgen recently changed its name to ANX for short) reveals that it is Hong Kong's largest bitcoin exchange and is behind a highly publicized bitcoin giveaway in that city. _dk (talk) 02:05, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't searched for ANX; ANXPRO and ANXBTC could also be worth including in searches. Articles from CNN, SCMP, MSN/Malaysia, The Hindu, and NDTV all covered the New Years Bitcoin giveaway promotion by ANX around January 28–January 30.


 * Financial Times, 14 January 2014 has a two–sentence quote from the company's CEO on regulations.


 * CoinDesk, 6 February 2014 mentions ANXPRO and ANXBTC services in passing in one sentence.

 * Comment: An article about the company opening a brick-and-mortar Bitcoin store was published today. In assessing notability, I'd caution that while several articles mention the company, many of them have very little information about the company, as with their New Year's giveaway. There is very little that can be reported right now, and many details in the article lack citations from reliable sources (e.g. the exact relationship between ANX and Asia Nexgen, currently being treated as a single entity based on inference, and claims about registration and licensing).

 * At least, for the license, it can be found on the Hong Kong Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department website by searching for the license number 13-09-01268 here https://eservices.customs.gov.hk/MSOS/wsrh/001s1?searchBy=A _dk (talk) 05:13, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The database search is not a "reliable source" in Wikipedia's sense, i.e. a published source (see WP:RS, particularly regarding "published"). If results of the database search could be archived (the URL doesn't change, so a search can't be archived by archive.org), it might be considered a reliable source, although as a primary source that's less than ideal. And the database says the license is for a company named Mega Idea Holdings Limited, "trading as Asia Nexgen", while different articles variously refer to the compan names Asia Nexgen, Asia Nexgen Bitcoin Exchange, ANX, and ANXBTC. The Wikipedia article cites no reliable sources verifying that these refer to a single legal entity, that they can legally trade money under those names based on Mega Idea Holdings' MSO license, or that Mega Idea or any of the other companies are legally registered Hong Kong companies. Even the company itself doesn't seem to explicitly claim any connection between the companies; anxbtc.com lists the same MSO license number, but I found no mention of Mega Holdings or Asia Nexgen on the site.

Delete : I agree with Agyle. The company is not yet sufficiently notable for inclusion. Chris Arnesen 22:33, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, does not meet WP:CORP. I can't wait until this bitcoin fad is over and we can get back to arguing about bilaterial relations articles.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:07, 28 February 2014 (UTC).
