BitClout

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I Nominated this for CSD earlier but was denied. This Platform is just 1 Month old, and this article clearly looks very promotional and with almost major edits by IP. I Think it's better if it is discussed at the AfD. Warm Regards--- Abhay Esports Talk To Me  11:40, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. In depth coverage in NYMag, Economic Times, Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, and many others.--Mvqr (talk) 12:46, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep The sources in the article are already sufficient for WP:ORG - Axios and Techcrunch are RS. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:57, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep and WP:SNOW close the mother-f---er . Sorry, got too excited there. New user. Didn't mean to WP:BITE. Anyway, Heavily discussed by several reputable business and tech publications, and digging 17 pages of that search indicates it's been covered for months on end, indicating long-lasting notability. I'm not a WP:CRYSTALBALL, but given its popularity in the context of Bitcoin and how big that is, this topic's notability will only escalate. 👨x🐱 (talk) 13:04, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sure, there were multiple stories about it in the media, which kind of makes it pass the GNG. But only kind of. The coverage is mostly vanilla, and the only two things that actually happened with this very young company are that they received some investments, and that they copied social networks profiles of a lot of notable people. The first thing is not really notable because investments happen every day. The second thing is closer to being unique, but if that's the only thing that is interesting about them, it sounds a lot like WP:SINGLEEVENT. So no, it's not really notable. There are plenty of other social networks, distributed social networks, and cryptocurrency-based social networks, and there's nothing that makes this one be really notable. --Amir E.

 * The coverage of this site began a month ago, and it's still being covered by Business Insider, NY Magazine, The Daily Best, Economic Times, Republic World, and EDM.com, and I don't consider any of these examples "vanilla". If there's constant of this site over a longer period than just one day, that's not WP:SINGLEEVENT. 👨x🐱 (talk) 10:49, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: There is still coverage of the project almost a month after the first articles were published, seems like notability is long-lasting. 15 (talk) 19:30, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Jimbo has verified his account on Bitclout and posted messages. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 11:10, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Mvqr. Throast (talk) 22:26, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep because there is now more press about BitClout which can bring more editors and improve the article. VideōEtCorrigō (talk) 10:37, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep passes notability based on massive news coverage as stated by other editors above.Webmaster862 (talk) 20:03, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
