Promotional article about an unremarkable cryptocurrency related company. Fails WP:ORG . Razer( talk) 16:04, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

- Comment I believe the page should be retained. I disagree that the article fails WP:ORG. The company and it's activities are notable in the field in which it operates and has been reported on by most cyptocurrency news websites and on mainstream media. In my view the article is not a promotional piece but a succinct, factual account of the company and activities. Citations are present from a disperate range of sources. I would find this page useful if I read a news story about an interaction between a government department or enterprise and either, Waves Platform or Vostok and wanted to check context or background here, on wikipedia. Glerant ( talk) 12:37, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- I have added further citation references including from CNN & Forbes news sites, expanded some sections and made small grammar edits. Glerant ( talk) 14:01, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete: Of the four reliable cites in the article, one's a dead link, two are the same link (and is a BLOGGER) and the last doesn't mention the subject at all. Fails NCORP and the GNG. Nha Trang Allons! 19:34, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment I am no expert in bitcoin industry but as per references and industry it has good coverage. Better an expert from an industry can explain. Mia Watson ( talk) 15:44, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete We already have an article Waves platform, which covers thir technology. An additional one for the company serves no purposes but promotionalism/ Given the similarity of the names, there's no need to even redirect. DGG ( talk ) 05:09, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Fixed broken citation link, Alexander Ivanof (CNN) and added further citation for Vostok (TechCrunch). Glerant ( talk) 09:50, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Taking heed of the comments by Razer & DGG I now agree that this page could be deleted. I moved the sections that I felt could be useful to the main page for this subject. Glerant ( talk) 12:22, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
