Promotional article. No evidence of notability under WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. One RS, and that's in a marketing trade paper. This is after the cryptocurrency blogs and claims cited to them were removed. WP:BEFORE shows nothing usable. Creator keeps adding crypto blogs, Forbes contributor blogs and other non-RSes to WP:REFBOMB the article. David Gerard (talk) 13:44, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Keep The article can be improved with valid references like this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajeshbieee (talk • contribs)

That's a crypto blog reprint, not an RS. You also added a paid promotional article from TechInAsia as a source - David Gerard (talk) 16:59, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

@David Gerard, thank you for your inputs and I must admit that, blockchains and cryptocurrencies are subjects I found recently interesting, even though I have many questions and doubts on how it function. Zilliqa Blockchain is the first standalone page I have created after browsing. Actually I thought, I have done an impressive debut in this category, but your edits have made me think otherwise. Anyway I won't be doing anymore edits in the same page and will seek opinion from you if I have points to ask here in this talk page only (if required). Rajeshbieee (talk) 02:59, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:MILL and WP:RS. One of thousands of block-chainers. Badly sourced article. Bearian (talk) 00:39, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

• Don't Delete Please keep the page as the subject has been working alongside the Singaporean government to launch its protocol and related projects. Will add accurate sources (not from cryptocurrency blogs) soon. 77.251.234.173 (talk) 09:31, 31 July 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.251.234.173 (talk) 09:23, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Source Please check this source published from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) that explains in a case study how Zilliqa's technology can be used. https://www.mas.gov.sg/-/media/MAS/ProjectUbin/Project-Ubin-Phase-5-Enabling-Broad-Ecosystem-Opportunities.pdf?la=en&hash=91091CAD39265C03FF7A4253E70FBEE6D1177714 (Page 58-59) 77.251.234.173 (talk) 09:50, 31 July 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.251.234.173 (talk) 09:49, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
    • That's a passing mention in a description of a vendor product. Can you find coverage that fits Wikipedia sourcing rules? - David Gerard (talk) 10:06, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
• Delete, TheDrum is "a marketplace for marketers", which means it isn't independent or reliable. The Forbes mention is a blurb, a lot of the crypto people land in 40-under-40 lists and such, I don't think that should be considered sufficient coverage. --Ysangkok (talk) 17:01, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Forbes contributor blogs, non-RS TechInAsia, crypto blog reprint. The Business Times might count as a source - David Gerard (talk) 11:25, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

• Delete and prevent recreation, this is probably PR related. Total junk. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 20:09, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
