Feedback from New Page Review process
editI left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: 75% of this article's citations make no reference to Markus whatsoever. In fact, the overwhelming majority of this article (everything past the first sentence) is ripped directly from Dogecoin#History with no credit given. In its current state, it's wholly redundant to Dogecoin and is borderline WP:REDUNDANTFORK.
However, there's clearly substantial coverage of Markus in reliable sources such as Bloomberg News, The Wall Street Journal (podcast), MarketWatch, Business Insider, and CNET (see, e.g., CNET's article.) I therefore believe this issue shouldn't be too difficult to resolve and that the subject meets notability criteria, but that it nevertheless needs to be reduced to a one-sentence stub (as that's its only original content) and re-expanded out from there.
What I'm going to do is start this article from scratch, add one line, add citations from reliable sources showing notability, and mark it as reviewed. If I see the redundant material from Dogecoin has returned, I'll subsequently unreview it..

- @TheTechnician27: Just FYI, but {{copied}} exists for exactly this purpose. Instead of excising the text, simply provide attribution. There's some more discussion about these types of situations at WP:MERGE. As to sourcing, agreed, there are certainly a growing number because of Dogecoin's unexpected rise. —Locke Cole • t • c 16:18, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
