Good job!

For me as a novice reader, some technical terms are unfamiliar to me. But the description covers the key point very well. Zhaoyebai (talk) 14:41, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Missing the phenomena of blockchain games

Aka play-to-earn, GameFi. They are only briefly mentioned under 'player trading'. Considering the growth of this phenomenon, I think it needs its own section. There is content at Blockchain#Games (stand alone article was deleted in 2018 but IMHO the topic is notable now: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blockchain game). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:20, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Right now, its still a lot of speculation, which is the problem, and given that it is also tied to cryptocurrency, an area that WP is extremely wary about covering, I'd be hesistent about expanding out too much more until we have clear viability in this area. Its all still pie-in-the-sky based on media sources. --Masem (t) 14:57, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've been active in the crypto spam cleaning a while ago, but recently I switched around to thinking crypto has outgrown its immature spam phase and is becoming notable. The coverage I see seems to meet GNG criteria (in-depth, independent, reliable). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:44, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do not disagree that we're getting GNG-quality sourcing (you'll see I expanded on these a bit more). I just think that the market around it is still highly speculative as to have a standalone at this time. --Masem (t) 13:10, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Masem Why should the speculative factor matter? Notablity is not temporary. Even if it is a short-lived fad and it dies out soon, it if achieved notability now, it deserves a stand-alone article forever. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:37, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
