Talk:Crypto: The Game

Notability follow-up for reviewer

Hi @Zxcvbnm — thank you again for your review and feedback.

I’ve revised the draft to provide clear evidence of notability from multiple independent, reliable, and in‑depth sources:

- Wired exposé (March 2025): a multi‑page investigation into gameplay and culture — https://www.wired.com/story/crypto-the-game-undercover/

- Fortune feature (June 2024): detailed coverage of the acquisition and CTG's expansion — https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/06/10/uniswap-labs-acquires-crypto-the-game-its-ballooned-into-this-24-7-crypto-reality-show/

- Axios report (April 2024): coverage of the Adidas collaboration — https://www.axios.com/2024/04/11/crypto-adidas-gaming-partnership

- GoldDerby interview (May 2025): full feature with creator, Season 3 winner, and Emmy mention — https://www.goldderby.com/feature/crypto-the-game-interview-dylan-abruscato-ted-not-lasso-1206215075/

- Television Academy / Emmy Magazine profile (June 2025): in-depth feature on format and design — https://www.televisionacademy.com/features/online-originals/crypto-the-game-dylan-abruscato-interview

- Variety preview (June 2025): named CTG a “one to watch” in the Emerging Media category — https://variety.com/2025/tv/awards/emmys-2025-voting-opens-submissions-1236428346/

All of these sources are secondary, independent, and offer focused coverage of Crypto: The Game. The draft has also been edited for tone and adherence to WP:NPOV and WP:GNG guidelines.

Please let me know if there is any additional information or changes needed.

Suggestions welcome: Crypto: The Game draft

Hi all — I’m working on improving Draft:Crypto: The Game and would love any additional suggestions. The draft has been rewritten for tone and neutrality following a previous decline, and now includes inline citations from multiple reliable, independent sources including *Wired*, *Fortune*, *Axios*, *Variety*, *GoldDerby*, and the *Television Academy’s Emmy Magazine*.

If there’s anything further I can clarify, tighten, or improve structurally to bring this closer to Wikipedia standards, I’m happy to make changes. Thanks in advance for your time and any guidance! — HotPotato26 (talk) 18:04, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Notability follow-up for Truthnope

@Truthnope I saw that you previously were in favor of a Crypto: The Game page, so wanted to flag to you that the latest has been created with many new reliable, independent sources including Wired, Fortune, Axios, Variety, GoldDerby, and the Television Academy’s Emmy Magazine. Would appreciate your eyes on this one as well! HotPotato26 (talk) 21:01, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Prior History

Just noting for completion, this is much stronger than the version deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crypto: The Game and there are no G4 concerns. Star Mississippi 00:42, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

• Article is long enough, new enough and well-sourced and Earwig shows no copyright violations. QPQ has been done. The hook is interesting and the source verifies it. This is good to go! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 09:59, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
