Redirect to Litecoin?

All notability is in relation to Litecoin, and most of the cites are actually about Litecoin - David Gerard (talk) 08:35, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@David Gerard: I thought I had read a wikipedia policy with a pretty low hurdle to pass for founders of notable organizations? I havent been able to find that policy recently. Some people like airbnb or other publicly traded started founders have articles with barely any coverage outside their single work. This article subject has coverage for his associated with both Coinbase and Litecoin. @Ysangkok:, I dont support PROD for this and please notify me if you nominate for AfD. Thanks!

It's pretty skimpy though - David Gerard (talk) 20:29, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jtbobwaysf:, you can watch this page, and there is no need for me to notify you directly. Thank you so much! --Ysangkok (talk) 20:57, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

David, the article is skimpy but alas plenty of sources. Just in July he was considered notable enough marketwatch & slashgear & fortune to mention as part of the twitter hack. Here fortune discusses him dumping his litecoin bags. Plenty notable public figure...Jtbobwaysf (talk) 21:05, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
