The result was delete. The fact that HHelvis's comment and the IP's comment were posted a few minutes apart is additional evidence of socking. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:47, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Paybis

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Despite the refbombing, it doesn't appear to meet GNG - the vast majority of the sources aren't reliable sources (largely blogs, with the occasional press release), and several don't even mention Paybis (they're more justifying things like "are people buying Bitcoin," which isn't relevant to the article) or are entirely unrelated to the article. I don't see any sources which look reliable. The claim to notability ("considered to be one of the most notable cryptocurrency exchanges in the Baltics") is entirely unsupported by the references. Article looks to me like undisclosed promotion/COI. creffett (talk) 23:17, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Agree that is fails the GNG, not enough indepth coverage in soruces that arent crypto-Parrots. Thanks,L3X1 ◊distænt write◊  00:33, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - This page has a few issues, but opining on notability alone, this should definitely be deleted. Nothing I can find in a search adds up to WP:ORGCRIT. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:40, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - The company has no press coverage from reliable 3rd party sources. Sonstephen0 (talk) 22:07, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * keep As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I went through the resources and found mentions of Bitcoinist, CCN and Cointelegraph. These are the most popular and trusted sources in the industry that Paybis operates in.
 * keep: Page is thorough when it comes to its resources. As a cryptocurrency exchange, it makes sense that most of its resources come from authorative blockchain websites. On top of that, the second sentence of the first paragraph ("The exchange provides cryptocurrency to fiat trading and is considered to be one of the most notable cryptocurrency exchange in the Baltics.[1][2][3][4][5]”) should be updated to better match the references. This would be a more fitting sentence - “The exchange provides cryptocurrency to fiat trading.[1][2][3][4][5]”
 * Just going to point out that HHelvis very likely has an undisclosed COI with Paybis based on this edit (note the use of "ours" when discussing Paybis) creffett (talk) 01:12, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I wanted to add that 213.149.173.185 might also be HHelvis. 213.149.173.185 only has five edits. His writing style is very similar. Sonstephen0 (talk) 15:57, 27 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. All of the sources are either press releases or are primary sources. None of these can be considered independent. Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG.4meter4 (talk) 19:56, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
