Bitstamp[edit]

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. There is no coverage except bitcoin related zines/trade journals, neither of which has even shown beyond doubt (to me at least) that is has editorial control and isn't just republishing press releases. Don't be fooled by Google News top "Forbes" hit - it is from Forbes Sites, de facto a blog without editorial control ("Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.". I will also point out to a related comment on a related AfD which is quite relevant here. In the end, I think this is just WP:CORPSPAM that does not belong in an encyclopedia. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:49, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as corporate spam; this material belongs on the company web site, not here. A WP:PROMO page on an unremarkable tech business. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:01, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
