Delete per nom. Fails WP:NCORP. Gheus (talk) 23:57, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Unreliable sources has been replaced. Before the entry was created, 5 entries had already mentioned that entry.Iuliusnanus (talk) 06:52, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The sources you have added (i.e. Bitcoin News, Bitcoinist.com, Bitcoin Magazine and NewsBTC) are crypto-centric news sources which cannot be used to establish notability per WP:NCRYPTO. JBchrch talk 19:32, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the note—I’ve added traditional sources. Iuliusnanus (talk) 06:21, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:25, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: examining the sources:

Cryptocurrency-centric sources are disallowed by WP:NCRYPTO: hashrateindex.com, Bitcoin News, CCN.com, Bitcoinist.com, bitcoinmagazine.com
Press releases from Business Wire are not independent.
Bloomberg source is trivial coverage, with a brief mention.
Coverage of the Bitcoin halving from FinanceFeeds, Investing News Network is trivial coverage that does not describe ViaBTC directly and in detail.
TheStreet is an interview of a ViaBTC employee without significant coverage of the company.
SCMP is also insignificant, one-sentence coverage.
