At the begining, I wanted to suggest to add a rule for the 'Press' board. Whatever the news is about no problem but it should come from reliable sources.
I often see websites posting fresh articles that are just old news spun to make it fresh, or articles with ridiculous points. CoinIdol is the perfect example currently, sometimes they're just freak, they publish bizarre stories and the sources are not verifiable anywhere.
So then I thought I'd read the rules of the Press board again, (it doesn't hurt from time to time to reread it
) and I found it was a common practice a very long time ago.

I know a problem could be people arguing what a notable source is, or why 123.com is not 'notable' etc but there is surely a way to balance.

The Press board replaces the Bitcoin press hits, notable sources thread. The original motivation of the thread was to collect links that fit Wikipedia's definition of Notability.
