Monetha

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional article about yet another blockchain related company. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Possibly native advertising, given the thin edit history of the creator. MER-C 21:06, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - no independent references. According to to the article, they haven't actually done anything except raise money.  But it "is a blockchain company creating a universal, transferable, immutable trust and reputation system combined with a payment solution." If that's not promotion, I don't know what is.

 * Do not delete - many references are indeed independent, including Forbes; Bitcoin.com; the-blockchain.com; NB Forum and more. It is disrespectful to even consider a deletion without doing any research on the topic as Monetha has released a public mobile (beta) app which is updated weekly and already has active users (and e-commerce integrations) for anyone to use on iOS, Android devices and any compatible e-commerce platform and that was before the article was considered for deletion. Monetha has also been included into Forbes as one of the most promising projects. Please remove "deletion notice".

 * What is your connection to the subject of this article, given that Justas Pikelis is the creator of Monetha and is the creator of this article? Actually, I now have a reason to use general sanctions to delete this page, because the author has an obvious conflict of interest. MER-C 10:58, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It has nothing to do with the fact of who created the article and as I can see the last edit by was done on January 21, which is certainly being improved from that time. I add and contribute to the page and have no interest other than to provide encyclopedic content for the product I'm a fan of. So, no there is no reason to delete the page. --Deelillo (talk) 11:14, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete the entire article is promotional and I see no good references. The bitcoin.com reference is a "Paid Press Release", and the founders being on a "30 under 30" (which, IIRC, actually included 900 people under 30) doesn't make their company notable. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 21:40, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Do not delete Comment I have removed parts of the article that could be regarded as solely promotional. References are indeed good and always being added. Not only has Forbes included Monetha co-founders in their 30 Under 30 list, but also named Monetha company as one of the boldest blockchain companies, which certainly has a lot of substance behind it. And that doesn't end there, as one of the co-founders made the list of 25 and Under in Northern Europe by the well-regarded news source Nordic Business Report, with famous founders like Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum) and Markus Villig (Taxify) also making the mentioned list. Monetha is one of the most notable blockchain projects with the continuously growing notability and is not even a year old! There are more than enough of good references to back the facts presented in the article. Deelillo (talk) 18:05, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Please be aware that each contributor only gets one !vote. I have struck your second !vote above. Also, please read WP:NCORP, especially WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH. The criteria for establishing notability requires 2 references that are "intellectually independent" and goes beyond the standard set for using references to support facts/information within the article. WP:ORGCRIT specifically mentions Forbes articles as the type of article that does not meet the criteria for establishing notability. Having famous co-founders does not count towards notability as notability is not inherited. There may very well be good references to support the information in the article, but there are not any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability.

 * Delete Zero indications of notability, references fail the criteria for establishing notability and fail WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion or an alternative Yellow Pages. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 10:00, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
