Comment: Tentative Keep - reliable secondary sources do exist, such as Bloomberg and Yahoo Finance, but coverage is sparse. Attempting to find more references and improve the article -- samtar whisper 16:40, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
: The Yahoo Finance results ([http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Joshua-Crumb-Appointed-to-iw-2088598145.html 1], [http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Astur-Gold-Adds-Josh-Crumb-to-iw-1515947589.html 2]) are not secondary sources, they are press releases hosted on Yahoo (note the bylines and the corporate contact info at the bottom). The Bloomberg reference is just a corporate profile that has likely been submitted by the company itself, as the text is nearly the same as at the Zazu Metals website ([http://www.zazumetals.com/s/QwikReport.asp?IsPopup=Y&printVersion=now&XB=381285,381288,381286,381287,491986,525942,381291,381292,381293 1]).

::{{replyto|Citobun}} I stand by my tentative keep (for now!) but the more I look the more likely it is I'll be a turncoat. How does [http://www.theguardian.com/money/us-money-blog/2015/may/31/bitgold-new-standard-digital-currency The Guardian (blog)] and [http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canadians-still-spending-but-not-using-cash-1.3080345 CBC] look? -- samtar whisper 16:59, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
Weak keep: Few reliable sources do exist in bussinesswire and guardian but certainly no scholarly references so far. Pixarh (talk) 17:00, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

- Delete for now and draft and userfy if needed as he has started some ventures but there's perhaps nothing for a better article yet. SwisterTwister talk 05:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

- Delete Some trivial coverage and mentions of him giving quotes in newspapers, but I haven't found any coverage of Crumb himself. FuriouslySerene (talk) 02:19, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
