Voatz

 * – ( View AfD View log )

notability not established, only in-depth coverage from reputable media like WSJ, Vox, Fortune and CNN is related to the hacking incident, which shouldn't be covered on Wikipedia per WP:NOTNEWS. The WSJ source doesn't even mention Voatz, as far as I can see. Ysangkok (talk) 00:51, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I think this one might actually be slightly notable (though I might be misremembering the extensive coverage in crypto sources by people like me). I'll see what I can dig up - David Gerard (talk) 09:27, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep even though the present article is terrible, and is in desperate need of a rewrite. Voatz is terrible, but their awfulness has been noted in detail for a few years now - a quick google finds Bloomberg (Iowa fail) (security concerns), NYT (security fail, DHS warning), Vanity Fair ("The Theranos of voting"), WSJ (general article). So I think they're notably awful, and we have the sources to write a good article on the topic. Just not the present article - David Gerard (talk) 09:03, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep the points and sources raised by David Gerard are convincing. It does not seem to be just one incident, and there is plenty of coverage as pointed out, so meets GNG. There seems to be a problem of undue weight in the article, but there does not seem to be a policy supporting that this constitutes a reason to delete. Mathias (talk) 06:43, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
