CashU

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of notability and no reliable sources cited. I was unable to find any sources via Google News, Books, or Scholar. EBSCOhost turned up a couple of hits, but almost all appear to be passing mentions except one article in the Economist. There's no full-text available for that one, so I can't tell if it's in-depth, and one source isn't sufficient for notability anyway. Infotrac OneFile and Newsstand were similarly unhelpful; there were several Arab newspaper hits from earlier this year because CashU published a malware warning, but I just can't find anything in-depth to establish notability. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 14:45, 13 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment Also, I didn't A7 the article because the first paragraph credibly asserts importance, I just can't find the sources to back it up. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 14:51, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. I found a fair amount of coverage for this: three scholarly articles (Trust Factors Influencing Intention to Adopt Online Payment in Kuwait, Digital Currencies and the Financing of Terrorism, and The Failure of Mobile Payment: Evidence From Quasi-Experimentations), one book (Startup Rising: The Entrepreneurial Revolution Remaking the Middle East) and one news article (Mena online transactions at $91 billion in 2011).  --Cerebellum (talk) 01:33, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
