Enigma (project)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Two RS mentions, two press release reprints, lots of primary sourcing, little to no evidence of notability. WP:BEFORE shows only mentions of price movements in crypto blogs. Challenged PROD, though challenger didn't bother fixing any of the problems. It looks like the sort of thing that should have more notability, but the evidence isn't there.

 * Comment I have added some references to the article, check it out please. I feel this subject is enough notable to pass WP:GNG. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 18:50, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * cheers :-) I mean, I'm quite willing to be convinced ... do they have a press page or something useful like that? And it's an academic project, do they have peer-reviewed citations? Stuff like that. I was actually surprised not to find stuff on it - David Gerard (talk) 08:52, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete press releases don't count for notability, which were the sources I saw. There's the Wired source for notability which isn't enough. Looks WP:TOOSOON / non or borderline notable but in a very promotional field meaning we should be strict. Widefox ; talk 16:03, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete There's two sentences about it in an October New York Times article. That's not good enough to claim Wikipedia notability but it shows potential WP:TOOSOON. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 20:20, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
