Not a notable cryptocurrency; article is promotional. There is possibly enough Spanish coverage to meet GNG, but spot-checks suggest it's all coverage in the context of discussing Enric Duran. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 21:13, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Well, I'm the author of the article (really translated from :es and only covered the template details). As I understand, there are two arguments against my first article, to delete it:
 * Not notable
 * Promotional - covers Enric Duran
 * After give an answer to these points, I would like to state that instead of proposing to deletion, it could be fine, in order to achieve more quality participation, to show me how to make the article better. Now, since I'm newbie and I don't know all the policies, excuse me if I don't cite policies properly, and please show me if I miss something. Also excuse my nonnative english.
 * Against Not notable argument, Power~enwiki specifies that is only notable because related to Enric Duran, but not as a cryptocurrency. Of course, Enric Duran is an important part of FairCoin and to mention him in that article is a must, but FairCoin doesn't inherite notability by Enric Duran. As seen in the references part of the article, there's a lot of coverage of FairCoin by itself, of reliable and independent sources. If more references are needed to prove this (which will surprise me), just tell me instead of proposing deletion.
 * Against Promotional, covering Enric Duran, I would say first that if the community thinks this, I would remove the content needed about Enric Duran, instead deleting the entire article. If promotional, as promoting a cryptocurrency, I win nothing if people are interested or not in the topic (evident), so is not selfpromotional. There are also no marketing content, and there's no propaganda and no attempts to convince to another opinion: the article is just useful as it provides information of a particular and notable cryptocurrency.
 * At last, as counterargument, I will cite the essay of overzealous deletion. The contribution of proposing to delete this article doesn't improve the Wikipedia, because doesn't help new users and doesn't improve the article. Is just a simple effort to say "this is not valid", compared with the effort made to put a good article, and to defend it right now. Also this pratice doesn't assumes good faith.

 * Delete Subject is neither notable nor in any way relevant as an encyclopedic topic. The article is not neutrally written, and brings a great deal of PR material related to Enric Duran to try and support it. I don't put much to Desatonao's comment, it seems to be basically explaining how he does not have a COI, which is fine, but the discussion is not about him, it is about the article.

 * Delete There is a growing trend to put all crypto currencies on wikipedia they are not all notable. Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:57, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
