Non-notable project, possible UPE, cannot establish WP:GNG, no SIGCOV in multiple reliable secondary sources. nearlyevil665 21:59, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The project is non-notable and might be paid. I agree it is failing WP:GNG.`~HelpingWorld~` (👻👻) 05:53, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello everyone, I would like to explain a few things and ask you to reconsider.
    1. I was not paid to write the article (this one nor the one about Hyalinobatrachium nouns) and I as an individual am not a member of the organisation, not am I financially invested in it in any way (although I do follow it very closely).
    2. This is one of a few DAOs that is influencing the world outside of just cryptocurrencies and the internet, mostly working with charities and non-profits (donation to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, rainforest and animal conservation, revitalising skateparks and donating skateboards to children in need, ...).
    3. It pushes the boundaries and tries to explore ways yet untraveled - e.g. first decentralised organisation with a big traditional company /BudLight/ as an active member, first DAO with animal species named after it, exploration of public domain (the whole project and all its assets released under Creative Commons 0 license /no rights reserved/, etc.
    The actions the org. took so far does not suggest that it would work in anything but good faith, it does not promote anything illicit nor does it encourage people to invest in anything (unlike most cryptocurrency or NFT related projects). I understand your concerns about the lack of press coverage, but given that this project operates in a very small and specific niche and does not spend money on marketing campaigns (which would result in more attention and coverage), the lack of coverage from traditional media might be better understood. I do not think this outweighs the good impact of this project via its charitable actions nor its relevance, given the points highlighted in (3) - collaborations with BudLight, Brave, The Rainforest Trust, The Skatepark Project and David Horvath (all of which also have a dedicated Wikipedia page).
    Would it help if I made changes to the article to highlight the "Notable actions" more and focus less on the "Artwork" and "Governance" which from the point of the greater public might seem less relevant? I specifically refrained from mentioning the size of donations and the DAO´s treasury, is that something that would increase notability?
    If you still insist on proceeding with the deletion, is it possible to somehow archive the text so we can revisit it when/if there is enough coverage from secondary sources? Maty.eth (talk) 13:32, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails to meet notability criteria. Also creator has ETH in their username, please be careful about WP:NPOV. Tow (talk) 00:36, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria. Per nom it might be a case of UPE. DMySon (talk) 15:45, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not seeing the notability here. Written more like promo. KylieTastic (talk) 14:31, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
