Probably shouldn't be deleted. Value from this article exists currently, and will further develop over time. 2601:18F:480:8A0:EDD5:3CCE:51B0:2F56 (talk) 00:43, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DFINITY is a real non profit foundation dedicated to R&D that supports the Internet Computer Protocol blockchain. In my opinion, these wiki pages should not be deleted. They bring a lot of value to web3 concepts and capabilities. 73.115.24.162 (talk) 02:41, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Why is this considered for deletion and where else do you discuss the dfinity foundation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1210:2A80:5B00:7D24:AA81:21BA:6BC1 (talk) 00:15, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for considering this article for deletion is in the deletion statement at the top of this discussion. The only place to discuss the article subject is on its talk page but that page is for discussing improvements to the article, it's not a discussion forum. This discussion is the place to discuss whether or not the article should be deleted based on Wikipedia policy-based reasons. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:30, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Borderline delete - coverage in three RSes, which is good for a crypto thing - but when you look it's funding rounds and WP:CRYSTAL. That's not really enough to pass WP:NCORP. A bit of a REFBOMB of passing mentions and yellow-rated sources that can't be used for notability, like TechCrunch. This isn't there yet - David Gerard (talk) 20:24, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Borderline delete, Agree with David Gerard, these sources feel like the best of the bunch to me.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] From my understand of the guidelines listed above, I do not feel that these sources establish notability. You play to win the game (talk) 23:14, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
