Delete - electronic currency article of unclear notability, lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. A search reveals PR, forum posts and blogs, this heavy.com article, but not enough significant RS coverage to establish notability. Article was created by an SPA as possibly promotional.Dialectric (talk) 12:15, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can confirm Dialectric's findings above. No notability. Also, heavy.com should not be considered a serious news source. Smite-Meister (talk) 14:13, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails GNG per nom. KonveyorBelt 17:03, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails notability by WP:GNG, WP:CORP, or WP:WEBSITE. I might consider heavy.com as a weak reliable source, as these styles of “online tabloid journalism” typically seem to employ editors and writers, and I am not aware of their posting articles as unlabeled paid placement; however, by itself, it doesn't establish notability. The only clearly reliable sources I found that mention datacoin are posting a press release. ––Agyle (talk) 17:11, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Draft:Datacoin as WP:TOOSOON. There's no reason to hide to remove this content from view, as it doesn't contain COPYVIO nor BLP stuff, but it lacks verifiability. Some of the content may be useful for an article about alternate diginal coins, though, which is a notable topic. Diego (talk) 12:12, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree and this doesn't conflict with delete votes above, besides potentially isn't enough to request deletion. --Rezonansowy (talk • contribs) 18:23, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: no guidelines in place currently cover moves from afd to draft. I suggest such moves only be considered when the article in question meets the Incubation criteria set by the Article Incubator project, as it is substantially similar to draft. Datacoin does not appear to meet this criteria.Dialectric (talk) 07:11, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
