Coinfloor

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

notability per WP:GNG not established, Wird and TechCrunch coverage announcing the opening does not pass WP:NCORP, coverage is isolated and limited to opening and funding rounds. Sources like "Interactive Investor" are not reputable. Their blog cannot be sourced, it is primary. Ysangkok (talk) 16:56, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Wired, Sunday Times, and Techcrunch all did indepth articles on this. Easily passes coredepth, even though nothing seems to have happened on the article recently. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 20:25, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The Wired article is entirely based on information provided by the company with zero "Independent Content" (as per WP:ORGIND). Similar articles (using the same quotes) can be found at this Verdict reference and this The Global Treasurer reference, fails WP:ORGIND. The ST article is similarly based on information provided by the company with zero "Independent Content". Also fails WP:ORGIND. Finally, the TechCrunch article is comments on content provided by the company at an invite-only Bitcoin conference, again with zero Independent Content. All three references fail WP:ORGIND.

 * Keep Bitcoin is an important subject, this article describes a bitcoin exchange which is a worthy subject for an encyclopedia especially as it's a hot topic.Richwil (talk) 13:47, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * what is a hot topic? Cryptocurrencies or exchanges? If cryptocurrencies are a hot topic, how does that mean that an exchange automatically also becomes notable? There is no such consensus. --Ysangkok (talk) 17:26, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete I agree with the nominator that articles about it opening are not enough to pass WP:NCORP. Companies open. That's what they do and it's an extremely trivial topic. Whomever is covering it. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:25, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete
 * This article says it has the same security as the Bank of England.
 * Second reference is now dead.
 * This link is self-referential and self-laudatory:
 * A link to the wayback machine to a page which says "To search the Supervised Businesses Register follow the link below" does not make sense.
 * HM Revenue and Customs link to Tax Guide to Cryptocurrencies is all very good; pointless as an actual reference for Coinfloor.
 * Remaining references are simply about Coinfloor as a startup. --Whiteguru (talk) 10:39, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date including the churnalism ones mentioned above fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic therefore fails GNG/WP:NCORP.
