MobileCoin

Arguably doesn't meet WP:GNG and/or other related notability guidelines. As it currently stands, the article requires quite a bit of cleanup as it relies heavily on primary and self-sourced material. There are only a handful of notable sources cited. Two are from Wired (same org, single source for notability purposes) and one from The Verge which barely says anything at all. Wasn't able to find any other RS on the subject that could provide "significant coverage" from a quick web search. It could be that there is sufficient material, but not too sure.

Here are some sources that have covered MobileCoin, I'm not sure if any of them are considered significant and reliable?: technical-tiresias (talk) 19:51, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Addressing the question whether 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject' applies, I tried to find a couple of articles about MobileCoin in the german news. The first mentions I found go back to 2017 and come from tech-publications and from 'Der Standard' (a daily newspaper from Austria). More recent mentions have been in the tech publication heise/ct, from t3n , the online branch of the 't3n Magazin' (a publicatio specializing on digital finance), as well as in the largest german news site 'Der Spiegel' . Of course Signal mentioned that they are integrating MobileCoin in their app . The article would certainly benefit by adding sources like these. To me it looks like the subjet warrants its own article as, over a substantial time period, it has seen a wide range of independent news coverage by important and diverse publications, therefore I believe we should Keep it.ExperteImBademantel (talk) 20:43, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
