Delete, Current consensus states that crypto-centric sources don't count towards notability. Furthermore the creator (and only major contributor to this article) appears to have a conflict of interest since he has exclusively edited articles related to Chris Maurice or his company.

Keep There are articles published in Forbes, Business Insider and African newspapers. That makes him eligible according to Wikipedia. Jeersks (talk) 10:38, 28 April 2024 (UTC) — Jeersks (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete per WP:RS. As stated by Samoht27, crypto sources don't count, period. Many of the sources are just marketing or college-alumni puff pieces, and thus don't count. Forbes used to be good, but has become deprecated, and so that doesn't count either. Interviews in a newspaper don't count. In 2007, arguments that these constitute significant coverage could be made, but not in 2024. Bearian (talk) 18:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
