- The Gates Foundation believes Factom to be notable,[1] as well as the Economist,[2] and DHS.[3] At this point, the article is under development by the community that supports the software project. We will flush out the nature of the protocol, as well as the various companies using the protocol beyond Factom Inc., which has done almost all the software development on the protocol at this point. The Factom project has joined Hyperledger,[4] and the development will be much more distributed across the community going forward. Part of moving the protocol out of Factom Inc. and more into the community is allowing the community to write this article. Paulsnx2 (talk) 14:14, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
- None of those references have in-depth coverage of Factom. Nothing in those references says anything about the publisher believing that Factom is notable. — JJMC89 (T·C) 17:32, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

- As I stated above, the article is under development. I'm not sure how you can say a Gates Foundation announcement of a roughly half a million dollar grant isn't some indication of confidence in Factom. None the less, I just grabbed a few references to hold our position as others develop the article.
