DAV foundation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is yet another non-notable blockchain company. My searches for "DAV foundation" and "DAV network" do not turn up any coverage in reliable sources. SmartSE (talk) 11:48, 21 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I've just posted this on my talk page in reply to a question about the sources used in the article: "Forbes/sites are not under editorial control of Forbes and are not considered reliable. Techbullion "offers digital marketing services for Financial Technology companies" so is also not reliable. The Blockchain news source is obviously copied from a press release."

 * Keep - I agree about the questionable legitimacy of the Techbullion articles. However, I do think that the Forbes article, as well as the article posted in Vice about the DAV Foundation which I added as a citation are a different story. Disclaimer, I work at the DAV Foundation, and am quite familiar with the work being done there. The fact that its technology is based on blockchain shouldn't necessary lump it in the same group as the endless other "blockchain companies" out there. The Foundation does truly unique things in its role as a consortium bringing together some of the biggest companies in the world in an effort to create open standards for autonomous transportation. I agree the article itself can use some improvements to be more in line with Wikipedia's quality standards; I will be happy to help improve it.

 * Keep : Meets the requirements of WP:NCORP for having significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources. This includes an independent feature in Vice, and extensive coverage and interviews about the foundation in Next: Blockchain a documentary series about the history and future effects of blockchain technology (beyond a paywall unfortunately but can see this in credits on amazon page and in the trailer). — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZzzrByte (talk • contribs) 15:03, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
