An by Jovan92 dated 16 May 2018 and marked minor removed reference to a credible preliminary inquiry that puts in doubt the self-reported trading volumes of OKEx and other crypto currency exchanges. The user gave no explanation for the removal. In the next 48 hours I intend to reinstate that reference, and I invite subsequent discussion of the topic here.

I realized today that substantial changes to " OKEx" introduced on 16 May 2018 were copy-pasted from the "About Us" page of the company's official site. That editor failed to note the company as the source. This suggests abuse of Wikipedia as a promotional tool via single-purpose accounts. Be wary of suspicious changes to this article in the future.

Two RSes in the whole thing. What coverage is there that isn't crypto blogs? - David Gerard ( talk) 14:59, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Evidence of notability must be verifiable for a topic to have its own Wikipedia page. The only notable characteristics of OKEx are its consistently high rankings in trading volume and markets served on the two data collection sites CoinMarketCap.com and LiveCoinWatch.com. But statistical data are not sufficient to meet Wikipedia's standards of notability, and even if they were, neither data collection website is reliable, as Sylvain Ribes has persuasively argued, and as journalists at Bloomberg and Forbes and editors and at least one admin on Wikipedia have affirmed. Unless someone can produce better evidence for OKEx's notability as a cryptocurrency exchange, I will nominate " OKEx" for deletion according to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion.
The same standard holds for any other cryptocurrency exchange that has its own article in Wikipedia until sources more reliable than CoinMarketCap.com and LiveCoinWatch.com can be established. Until then, the only secure place in Wikipedia for any cryptocurrency exchange should be on a list of cryptocurrency exchanges.

I have updated the page with latest resources. Inviting for reviews and suggestions. -- Harryishere ( talk) 09:56, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
I have been waiting for someone to review or share their suggestions. But, seems the article is in good shape now with notability issue and authoritative source issues being addressed . Thus removing both the tags. -- Harryishere ( talk) 06:08, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
