Wikipedia is notorious for deleting new pages, however, although it may seem inconsistent with some pages that exist, and assuming no bias, there are specific requirements that they look for in allowing a page to exist there. A publicity or opinion page will be removed almost as soon as seen by mods, usually with an explanation and it being placed in a 'sandbox' area (I might be using wrong term here). What wikipedia likes for inclusion in their site are 'notable' references. This means links to articles or papers that differentiate it from other similar products (and there are loads of crapcoins out there probably doing the same thing). Attempts to do this prematurely can lead to bias. Best strategy for inclusion in wikipedia is to wait until the previously mentioned bounty article is published on a crypto news site. Links to this and technical articles on the wiki assist the wikipedia mods in establishing 'notability'.

Having some experience with wikipedia in the past with another coin, led me to bow out and leave it to someone else, as there is a lot of back and forth between the mods who sandbox it, and the individual who is trying to comply with their requests. It is a case of too many cooks spoil the broth. Getting an article on wikipedia is a task that requires some dedication, patience and catering to mods opinions, and quite a few hours over several days.
