Poor sourcing, either unreliable, not independent, or press releases or equivalent. Closer to advertising than an encyclopedia article. Citing (talk) 17:01, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I should have been more explicit and just cleaned out the unreliable sources first before submitting this to AfD (as I did here). This article was a clear case of citation bombing of trivial mentions, blogs and social media posts, cryptocurrency news sites, event listings, app websites, etc. Sweeping those away we're left with one reliable source, Yahoo Finance, which says: "Financial experts, such as Vlad Tirla, CPO of Chainge Finance," and then proceeds to talk about something else.Citing (talk) 04:49, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
