*'''Delete''' - this originated as a neologism in cryptocurrency gambling; no usage I could find outside crypto gambling - [[User:David Gerard|David Gerard]] ([[User talk:David Gerard|talk]]) 11:07, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' - As the author, I didn't think much about the notability, as I had encountered its concepts a few years ''before'' its use in cryptocurrency. I would remind people that "crypto" has its roots in ... "crypto," as in [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Theory_of_Cryptography/6g5nI71vgiIC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Provably+fair%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA246&printsec=frontcover this link] to a 2005 crypto book that covers "provably fair" in connection to the "[[zero-knowledge proof]]" that forms a foundation for certain cryptocurrency [[blockchain]]s, and has some relevancy for nearly all of them. In my ignorance 6 years ago, some of this wasn't known. The article's poor state now is due to a lack of competent editors, not due to any notoriety of the topic.

**At the moment it's a [[WP:TNT]]. I note also that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Provably_fair_algorithm&oldid=655297560 as started, it was cited to a single bitcoin site.] If you could rebuild the hypothetical good article you posit using the claimed good and non-crypto-blog/non-press-release sources, that would be a start - [[User:David Gerard|David Gerard]] ([[User talk:David Gerard|talk]]) 10:28, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
