The article fails of meeting the criteria outlined in WP:GNG. The majority of sources within the article primarily consist of interviews and sources associated with PR, lacking substantial or noteworthy coverage. Additionally, a significant portion of these sources do not provide proper authorship attributions. Furthermore, certain sources, like The Logical Indian, are considered unreliable. The deletion log indicates that the article has been deleted on multiple occasions due to being perceived as unambiguously promotional or advertising-oriented.

- None of these sources provide information about this individual. They all appear to be promotional articles related to cryptocurrencies. It would be helpful if you could specify which sources are actually offering substantial coverage of the person in question.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I don't think the participants' arguments are very strong and would appreciate a source analysis.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:48, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: My source analysis is as follows. 1st 2nd and 3rd sources are about his company bitscrunch. 4th source has no content. It is just titled as stories by author. 5th and 6th one are about cryptocurrencies. 7th one is a promotional interview. 8th one is a video of his speech on Tedx. 9th one is interview. 10th looks almost good. But it is solely focused on his company bitscrunch. 11th one is entirely about something else. 12th one has some mention. 13th one is from Behindwoods which is known for its promotional content about celebrities. 14th is interview. 15th, 16th, 17th as well as 18th is about his company and cryptocurrency. 19th one dont even mention anything about him. 20th one is a promotional press releass without any byline of the author. 21st one is one among the many websites that lists net worth of celebrities. So from these it is clear that the subject fails GNG criteria. 116.68.101.233 ( talk) 19:20, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
