Melonport

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Copy PROD: "Fails WP:NCORP due to a lack of indepth coverage of the company itself, as the articles cited focus on broad concepts. Also a likely UDP per WP:COIN Noticeboard." Widefox ; talk 00:54, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment again if by UDP you mean an undisclosed person (I.e. a potential undisclosed conflict of interest) I repeat until I am blue in the face that just because i'm interested in the crypto space does not make me linked to every subject I have ever edited on! By all means AFD, but I am tired of these continual COI accusations which are totally unfounded. The founder of this project, Melonport, was on UK TV about a week ago, she is trying to build a "Bloomberg for crypto". About a million people or more would have watched her interview. Oh I give up trying to explain. Gonna take a wiki break for a few weeks. Always happy to cooperate where I can. Uhooep (talk) 01:04, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes Uhooep I saw her on TV. Widefox ; talk 10:33, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Uhooep But just because there's a non-independent item on the news, doesn't mean we it's notable, per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:TOOSOON. Widefox ; talk 13:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment - I filed the original PROD, which was declined. For the record, my mentioning of COIN was in reference to Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard.--SamHolt6 (talk) 01:10, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * That's now at Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_125, which for the record I created, so there's some circularity, purely coincidental with two editors acting independently. The wording of the PROD is verbatim. Widefox ; talk 01:30, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete -- does not meet WP:NCORP; clearly WP:TOOSOON for a company launched in 2016. Sourcing fails WP:CORPDEPTH, being passing mentions and / or WP:SPIP. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:46, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete One third of the article's sources are concerned with broad subjects like the cryptocurrency and the existence of a "Crypto Valley" in Switzerland. None of this imparts information about or real notability on the actual subject of the article (Melonport), which indicates to me a WP:CORPDEPTH failure and a lack of encyclopedic notability.--SamHolt6 (talk) 01:30, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree, this is WP:TOOSOON, references fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic fail GNG and WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 22:21, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
