Uncited cryptocurrency neologism. No evidence of currency in RSes. Declined PROD - decliner cited that there was "at least one good source", but that was an Investopedia article that literally didn't mention the neologism. Closest I could find in a WP:BEFORE was Forbes India, but that turned out to be a contributor piece. Are there any RS cites for the actual neologism? Even if it passed, it seems it would be a dictionary definition and not an encyclopedia article - David Gerard (talk) 21:11, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Agree with above, saw the Forbes India piece as well, but not a good source. Nothing else found, urbandictionary isn't a source. Oaktree b (talk) 14:52, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

 * That could be one of the worst and most perfunctory articles I've read in a nominal WP:NEWSORG, written in five minutes from a couple of crypto blogs. Even granting it RS status, do we have anything else? - David Gerard (talk) 19:49, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I was not able to find anything else but I thought it would be useful to have others look before it was deleted. ~Kvng (talk) 20:53, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete - Sufficient evidence of notability has not emerged. ~Kvng (talk) 22:25, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
