Crom Alternative Currency

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I'm declining speedy as I don't think it fits G11 as it is tagged. It seems rather unique. Certainly needs some work, including finding references, if it is real. Otherwise I can speedy it as a hoax. UtherSRG (talk) 14:09, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Crom Alternative Currency was officially launched on September 27, 2009. The Crom Alternative Currency is available as a single multinational alternative currency, an alternative currency to that which is issued by the world's central banks.  Google News knoweth it not.  Sounds like somebody's made-up scheme for monetary reform, with no notability even as a fringe position.  And besides, Crom doesn't listen. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:36, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Can't find any RS to establish notability, seems made up.Slatersteven (talk) 14:39, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge if there is some sort of page on "crackpot currency schemes," otherwise delete as an ad. Here is the creator's MySpace page, by the way. http://www.myspace.com/cromalternativemoney Carrite (talk) 15:10, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability. (Who cares what Balkan pop/rock/punk musicians think about the scheme). Conflict of interest with regard to original contributor.  Looks like both an ad and some sort of nationalist protest against other monetary systems.--Dmol (talk) 22:04, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I presume they care because Crom Alternative Currency buys ale, wenches, and black lotus. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:27, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. References showing evidence of notability have been added. For further notability, the association is officially registered under the Registrar of Associations in the Republic of Croatia. Further, it is not a scheme, rather a real system from which the n o n p r o f i t association doesn't profit. -Cukunbaba (talk) 22:40, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete unless notability via reliable sources is supplied (which seems unlikely). I originally didn't speedy this but urged (on the talkpage, given their hangon) the article's creator (Cromalter) to find reliable references and, given their username, to study WP:COI. No RS has appeared; the "references" supplied by Cukunbaba are with two exceptions taken from cromalternativemoney.org. The two exceptions are a PDF in a language which is possibly Croatian (and may serve as a reference on the hr WP, but not on the en one) and something off YouTube. Probably not a hoax, probably NN and possibly POV. Tonywalton Talk 22:56, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Just out of interest the hr WP has an article which appears to have a bunch of "this article has problems" headers. Tonywalton Talk 23:01, 19 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. Several edits and larger comments have been moved to the talk page of the article. This is not the place for discussion outside of the basic Keep or Delete issues.--Dmol (talk) 00:22, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
