Cryptocurrency token that's not independently notable from it's company, Kik Messenger. There's more content that should be removed than what could possibly be worth merging like "There was much enthusiasm behind Kin prior to the token distribution event (TDE), with cryptocurrency fans seeing the move as legitimising the controversial industry." and the unsourced "Digital Economy" section talking about their goals that might not ever be met. Article just makes it seem more important than it ever was. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 21:20, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect - the token's launch got a pile of RS coverage, but I'm persuaded by the argument that this belongs in the parent article. I just removed the unsourced and primary-sourced slabs of text - what remains would make a perfectly good section for the parent - David Gerard (talk) 13:13, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
