The article fails to comply with
WP:RS. It only links to
Pavel Durov's blog post, the white paper by
Nikolai Durov, and some random Telegram channel.
I'm also concerned that it may be a promotion of the NewTON that mimics another TON-based blockchain project (that actually got covered in mainstream media).
A tiny notice to make the last statement clear. As stated in the white papers, "The Open Network" is the other name of "Telegram Open Network" (not a separate blockchain project).

Keep
The claims to the article from the user
Myuno are not substantiated.
Most of the information in the article is based on an
article from
Pavel Durov's Telegram channel (1.6 million views) and on the technical documents from
Nikolai Durov posted on
https://ton.org. In my opinion, these are very good sources.
There should be different articles about
Telegram Open Network and
The Open Network because they are different projects.
Telegram Open Network is a project that was developed by the
Telegram team and Telegram was forced to close TON due to pressure from the
SEC. You can look at the technical papers (
0,
1,
2,
3,
4) and see that the name «Telegram Open Network» is used everywhere, and «The Open Network» is not used.
All of the sources you provided are related to the subject, meaning they are not independent and cannot be used to establish notability. Do you have any sources that meet the requirements of
WP:GNG? (independent, reliable, and significant)

The sources I have provided above are independent, reliable, and significant. Regarding independence, the open-source community project «The Open Network» has nothing to do with
Telegram.

The
document provided by
Myuno is not an official document of the «Telegram Open Network» project and was made by third parties. Please do not mislead us by referring to documents from third parties.

Another thing is that cryptocurrency news outlets and blogs seem to be considered non-reliable. That means that the claims for notability should be supported by publications in mainstream media.

Merge to
Telegram Open Network - the The Open Network project is absolutely a continuation of this project. There are not two separate projects. There is nothing to be gained by having two pages, and it will likely cause confusion. If the new development becomes more notable then that page may renaming to The Open Network.
Pavel Durov per
this claims Telegram was forced to stop. But then there is the fact the name change and Telegram stepping back was planned in 2018,
see.

«Telegram Open Network» and «The Open Network» are two different projects, like
BSD and
FreeBSD. If the articles «Telegram Open Network» and «The Open Network» will be combined, then people will think that this is the same project and this will obfuscate them. Many inexperienced people will think that «The Open Network» is a
Telegram project and will invest their money in it.
Currently, The Open and Telegram Open haven't got a separate history or enough separate information to make two separate articles useful. One is simply a continuation of the other. If the Telegram Open page is renamed The Open page this might better reflect the current situation. With BSD and FreeBSD both projects ran concurrently, have substantial separate history and are highly notable - see
BSD timeline . Also, consider the example of Gill,
Sodipodi and
Inkscape drawing programs. Sodipodi and Inkscape have there own pages as there is enough separate info. However, Gill doesn't have a separate page from Sodipodi; just a mention in the development.

Comment - I think I have worked out what is going on, after searching "The Open Network" and "Free TON". There are two projects continuing Telegram TON, Free TON and TON Foundation (aka Newton). This page mainly deals with "TON Foundation" where as "Free TON" only is mentioned on Telegram TON page. I've edited page to reflect this. Merge still stands, both Free TON and TON Foundation should be on Telegram page for now.
