Project appears to fail WP:NCORP and I have not seen any RS covering the topic and all the existing sources are mainly from primary sources. It has also been repeatedly created, recreated by the creating editors despite of it having previously rejected and moved to draftspace. WomenProj (talk) 17:35, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]


  • Keep: This article is a translation of a Japanese article, and the only quotes from primary sources are from the technical documentation, most of which are not official Symbol quotes. Some specialized content has been removed to make the page less reliant on primary information.サンドマン (talk) 19:37, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and salt as spam - almost entirely cited to crypto blogs, which are not considered reliable sources on English Wikipedia - zero crypto sites have meaningful COI policies on crypto holdings, and many are straight-up pay-for-play. If it's not covered in mainstream financial news or genuine peer-reviewed academic sources, it's not noteworthy - David Gerard (talk) 14:27, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
