notability violation
[edit]This article is a clear violation of notability. Yonatan Sompolinsky is significantly less notable than many other scientsts who do not have a Wikipedia entry. This article only exists to promote a small crypto project. Other than that, the article is self-contradictory: it attributes GHOSTDAG to a 2021 paper (while omitting one of the authors, Wyborski), though a quick Googling shows the paper existed in preprint form since at least 2017.
This reads more like a promotional piece than encyclopedic coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-52184-89 (talk) 09:23, 28 September 2026 (UTC)
- Dear new user ~2026-52184-89 who created an account on 28 September 2026, with no edit history or contribs other than vandalising this Wikipedia page, and no substantiative evidence - - you are in violation of Wikipedia's vandalism policy. Yonatan Sompolinsky's page was copy edited, reviewed and approved by offical Wikipedia volunteers and members of the AfC group, including Pythoncoder. This article is written in neutral language, I am the author. As a show of good faith and common sense, the article was updated to reflect that the GHOSTDAG paper was updated and published in 2021 including Wyborski as a contributor. I thank you for this feedback. This is not a promotional piece, it is encyclopedic coverage. If you believe there are other scientists who deserve a page and meet requirements like Yonatan Sompolinsky's page, then you are free to allocate your time and energy by creating a page and contributing to the Wikipedia community in constructive ways, with your newly created account. Please refrain from vandalism on Yonatan Sompolinsky's page to avoid a reportable temporary or indefinite block. Thank you. N2sinn (talk) 09:46, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
My revert
[edit]My edit summary here was incorrect. I was restoring the AfD reviewers comment, not decline. That being said, this article is full of LLM slop.-- Ponyobons mots 21:56, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
- Dear @Ponyo, I appreciate the attention to this article. And I thank the AfD review @Pythoncoder for their responsiveness. However, with great respect, the article is not full of LLM slop. While it is true in March the page creator initially used an LLM to generate a very small amount of text for the page, I have since rewritten and continue to edit the entire article. All content is self written by me and is original. Furthermore, I use a local Word Document for composing and brainstorming of ideas when writing. As evidenced by the page history I have spent considerable days working on this article. I would appreciate claims and messages of LLM use to be reconsidered. Thank you.

AfC Submission and removal of comment
[edit]Dear @Pythoncoder,
A big thanks to @Nononsense101 for editing Draft:Yonatan Sompolinsky with a major ce. If you have further actionable suggestions for how the article can be improved, I'm all ears!
@Pythoncoder May I please request the removal of your red links comment from the article? It makes me feel deflated every time I see it, given the considerable work undertaken since the page creator abandoned it.

- @N2sinn While I generally don’t remove a comment outright unless I feel I was incorrect in adding it originally, I have added another comment to clarify how the situation has changed since my first comment. Hope this helps —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 12:20, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you @Pythoncoder
