Promotional article on non-notable company.. The only RS is a general one of the line of business, not the company. The rest are press releases in trade magazines or blogs. DGG ( talk ) 18:34, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as clearly not notable from searches.

ThePlatypusofDoom - May I ask what makes this company any less notable than any of the other bitcoin exchanges listed on Wikipedia? Thanks. Brollymook (talk) 16:02, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Brollymook: That argument is invalid, see WP:WAX. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 16:18, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@ThePlatypusofDoom: Thanks for the link and I apologise for the poor quality argument, however, I do believe that this article meets the criteria set out under WP:GNG. CoinCorner has a number of notable achievements and has received significant coverage from reliable sources that are verifiable, including global mainstream media such as Bloomberg, The Independent and the BBC, as well as working with the Isle of Man Government. The co-founders of CoinCorner have been interviewed by 2 international TV shows (Russia Today and Arte.tv). All sources are referenced in the article, supporting evidence that CoinCorner has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability.

May I ask what searches are you referring to? I appreciate that CoinCorner may not appear notable in US searches, however, CoinCorner is a UK company and appears in a number of UK-related searches. Thanks Brollymook (talk) 15:20, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
