ItBit

PRODed by and I concur nothing here actually establishes genuine substance for actual notability and an improvable article and that's because it's simply clear PR by clear PR sources and that alone is against our no-advertising policies, thus there's nothing to show actual establishment by this company since it's simply being funded itself.

 * Delete for reasons I stated in prod. Prod declined by a user who has been indefbanned since (User:1Wiki8Q5G7FviTHBac3dx8HhdNYwDVstR). Unfortunately, reason for indef ban are not givenbut the deprod was not done with any rationale, so it seems like serious spamming account anyway. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 16:07, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * While I don't support removing the prod, the prod hadn't made a decision as to whether the topic was or was not notable, and the scope of the prod's notability search was limited to the article: "'concern = The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement...timestamp = 20161215043913'"  Unscintillating (talk) 07:08, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The indeffed user requested the indef at ANI in the heat of the moment, so seeking sympathy based on the alleged motives of the editor seems uncivil to me. The detail of the block are in the block log, .    Unscintillating (talk) 07:08, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete and after one year incubate on request Wikipedia has no need to hurry to include this, but less than two years after becoming the "first fully regulated bitcoin exchange", the topic is already appearing in Google Books.  The topic already passes WP:GNG, so the question is not if we are going to cover this topic, but when.  Unscintillating (talk) 07:08, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep without prejudice to revisiting in a year. The article isn't hideously promotional at the moment. There's book and magazine coverage, as well as a number of articles on coindesk.com (presuming bylined articles there can be considered sufficiently reliable) and other bitcoin focussed sites. There's also passing book coverage here and here. Paxos (financial technology company), is related to this AFD. The ItBit exchange is now a division of the parent Paxos company. At most it should be a merge/redirect at the moment (it has low but nontrivial pageviews), but that's questionable until things settle down. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 02:26, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
