Non-notable neologism. Could easily be covered in any of our cryptocurrency articles. PeterTheFourth (talk) 10:07, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not sure yet, actually. I removed the first PROD, because the word has clearly reached the mainstream. But it could do with a few more mainstream sources. Also not sure if it quite rates "dicdef, Wiktionary" (where it is already) - David Gerard (talk) 16:02, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - "could easily be covered" in something else could apply to any of thousands of terms we have in Wikipedia. If it has been dubbed one of the "essential slang terms in Bitcoin culture" then it should have an article. Therefore, the basis of your nomination that it is non-notable is clearly incorrect. - Fuzheado | Talk 07:05, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep a merge/redirect would be better, but I'm not sure where. Glossary of cryptocurrency terms or Glossary of cryptocurrency memes don't exist. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:13, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- yeah, it's basically the notable one! - David Gerard (talk) 09:39, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It seems to be quite a popular term right now; I see significant coverage in the media. More specifically, folks are talking about Hodl being old and replaced by a new term – Buidl – which has been trademarked too: here and here. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 23:01, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This is just a dictionary entry. Definition, etymology, and a couple of minor entries. Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_dictionary 2601:2C6:4400:C93:6D7A:B158:5F32:96 (talk) 05:10, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
