Daniel Kaufman (businessman)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Created as apparent promotional article for cryptocurrency Neucoin; no evidence of notability for Kaufman. Has never been much more of an article than this. WP:BEFORE shows only passing mentions, a few of which form the refs for this article. Of his achievements, Neucoin is a redirect to an article that doesn't even mention Neucoin, and Jango (website) is also tagged as advert. PRODed, PROD seconded per WP:NOTWEBHOST; PROD removed by someone adding "better sources" that turned out to be a pile of crypto blogs, not RSes. There's nothing to back this article and never seems to have been. David Gerard (talk) 20:45, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep Delete Hi, I'm the one who cited the better sources, which you've now reverted. They aren't self-published blogs, as they were incorrectly called. They are separate, independent, unsponsored news sites that were written by different authors at different times.  They're appropriate secondary sources to validate that the subject did indeed do what is said he did. As such, it now meets WP:GNG.VF9 (talk) 22:43, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Crypto sites are not RSes, and especially not for WP:BLPs - Coindesk is categorised as "generally unreliable" on WP:RSP, and all other crypto sites are worse. In particular, you cannot use crypto sites to demonstrate notability, as you're trying to do here - David Gerard (talk) 23:21, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, I did not know about that list. (I’m still new here.) That’s very useful! I’m convinced, so how do I change my vote? VF9 (talk) 06:47, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello if you're looking to strike your ivote above, you can use strikethrough to strike what you've written, then (without strikethrough) write what you currently think. That way the history of what's written is preserved, but others know you have updated your ivote. Welcome to the project! --Kbabej (talk) 17:36, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
