*'''Keep'''. why is this article even being considered for deletion? Scharmbeck is a LLC, which is a legit company backing an altcoin, doesn't it makes it more legit than most altcoins today? <ref>http://scharmbeck.com</ref> Would also like to add, Sites like crypto-trade.com rates WDC at the level of importance as LTC, (these are the altcoins with US dollar exchanges only), I would like to suggest lets edit this article until it meets standard, but it has to stay. If Worldcoin is not included, then altcoins like dogecoins/quark/primecoin/litecoin shouldn't even have entry either.

::[[User:ApharionDeSol|ApharionDeSol]], it is being considered because the nominee said it failed to meet the standards of the general notability guideline ([[WP:GNG]]), and/or the spam guideline ([[WP:PROMO]]). Incorporation as an [[limited liability corporation|LLC]] does not assure notability. How “legit” it is compared to other currencies is irrelevant; there notable fraudulent enterprises (e.g. [[Ponzi Scheme]], [[Madoff investment scandal]]) and non-notable legitimate enterprises. ––[[User:Agyle|Agyle]] ([[User talk:Agyle|talk]]) 19:51, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
::: Thanks reply, but for the same instant, on your same arguement, while legit or not remains unknown (same for ALL corporation I guess. even Enron was a scam, I remember.) It still shows more effort in development comparing to other cryptocurrencies, and puts Worldcoin at the same development of Bitcoin surpassing Litecoin. This is why I voted in favor of keeping. My bottom line was, the page is informative, the externals links are second party and meets WP:GNG, as other Crypto like Litecoin has a page, I see no reason to deny WorldCoin. However, at this point, I would like to suggest, does ANY crypto deserve a page themselves? Shouldn't ALL crypto including Bitcoin have their page removed/merged into ONE page? I feel that is what should be done. I support merging all crypto into ONE page, but if the decision is some may have their own, then we must be fair to all. Apha 06:07, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
*'''Strong keep''' disagree with this nomination for deletion. worldcoin is much more known that dogecoin peercoin or primecoin. and there has been noteable positive mentions from media. (which the wiki here also listed from MSNBC) almost none other crypto has this kind of mention save bitcoin. also almost ALL exchanges has worldcoin, definitely better known than many altcoins with entries in Wikipedia. Market cap at #8 also speaks for itself.
