Gone are the days when white paper was attached with so much importance, then you could tell where the project is heading for, but right now even scam projects hire people to write white paper for them and lure investors into, basically what I really watch out for now is the team behind the project, that could give a little guarantee of the project success.
For me personally for now it is very difficult to judge a project as good or bad because scammers have many ways to lure investors to invest in the project through several ways that they think will make investors believe that the project is a good project. And for me personally at this time maybe I will not invest in new projects and would prefer to invest into the top coins to minimize the possible losses that I could get.

Those days have gone and this time so many developers don't even care about what they first plan that already written on the whitepaper. This time WP is not an important thing anymore as so many developers are always changeing the roadmap at the middle of the development progress. There was a lot of the freelancer is offering such service on the various freelancer website. They are even offering the ico site creation too. Remember the team can be faked anytime and that needs a deeply research.

Whitepaper is important to read, but it is not enough. we have to consider others aspect
such as, it is true? achievable? how's bout the team? community? how much token is?
There are many aspect which we should know more. Then if most of them is good, we can make decision to invest or not
at least we reduce the risk by reading and analyzing many aspect of the project

The WP gives the initial info about the project, but since 2014 so many WP i've red but there's only few who perform what is written in their WP.
I agree with you, I don't really the think good written whitepapers can win it all. I would say it a huge role in making the project appealing but I think there are still several parts of the projects need to look at to like, Team Developers, Partners, Advisors most especially and the legality of the projects itself.
Everyone can write a beautiful story, a beautiful poem a great books, every person who has a writting skills can write a convincing white paper.
Especially i always follow a new project ICOc:
1. Team and their experience
2. Website domain
3. Partnership
4. whitepaper
5. Clear project roadmap
6. ANN thread
7. and team activity with support.
I don't know this good or unless but i always check their everytime because this my head so choice a smart project depends on our mind.

To me ICO White paper does matter but I think it will be better to look into the project to know if they really have a real product and TEAM. Investors need to check vividly to know if the project has MVP, Real Team, Real Business and also how they intend to market their products. A good project also must have GITHUB and not just a fake GitHub but real and current one to say. Another important thing to check is transparency

Of course, whitepapers is just a written information of the project that includes their plan and everything, in short, a business plan. It looks perfect, and really attracts investors but this doesn't mean that you can guarantee the return of your investment just because it has a good whitepaper. We should still look for the other side of the project to see if the project is really promising. 
ICO WhitePaper is the most problematic thing. The whitepaper has created many ill-fated victims. all bullshit is a hoax. I never believed the whitepaper. What we want them to be unable to do.
WP just BS in crypto and no need to say a lot about that because so many times people have already found if the new developers in the crypto ( i like to call that as amateurs ) lack of the experience even to write a new WP. All of the things that already published in WP just garbage promises that already made by incompetence developers. So many plagiarism that happened in crypto. They were writing it based on non sense thing.

the whitepaper really matters at least that gives you a fair idea of what they want to develop in the first place but it is better if you go just beyond fancy whitepapers and look at other factors as well. For instance, you need to consider the experience of the team as well as the use cases of the project. Ask yourself how feasible can these dreams be achieved and do they have a real world use or it's just a bunch of ideas. Every piece of information you find with these searches will affect your decision whether to invest or not. most people invest in ICO to know the planning and management of the project is sure to know it all must see the white paper, but ...! neat and neat white papers have not yet determined the project is good and real, therefore there are many aspects that we must examine as the project team and the place in the project are developed to avoid scam projects
Reading a whitepaper is necessary but we cannot judge whether a project is good or not only from a whitepaper, it is true that you say that there are many aspects that need to be considered to assess a good project or not so that we avoid scams. And we also need to observe the team and the products they deliver and how those people will carry out the project. But in my opinion, for the time being, new projects are difficult to develop because of the difficulty of getting funding from investors.
actually, we need a more realistic view of the whitepapers we read. For example, a project is expected to achieve 1 million users of their exchange in the first quarter and is estimated to bring big revenue and will buy back tokens. Investors should then pay attention to the members of the group and the traffic index of the website visits, it will surely tell the distance of reality and roadmap. This is one of the things that needs to be reviewed before making an investment. The whitepaper is really important to identify the fraud project and the real project.
Even if not most importantly, i think whitepaper is quite important. You can find all information about the project on the whitepaper and check the information shared here to get an idea of the project.
Yeah we need the information about the project, but the most important thing is, how the team implemented every important written words inside the WP.
About the previous version of ICO, yes it is important to see the white paper and how will the team perform the project in process. But right now, I don't think reading the white paper worthy to be a basis of a good project. ICO and even IEO projects are not trusted by most of the investors anymore, so I think we should find other means to invest our money in cryptocurrency and not just ICO or IEO.

For me it is, that is the reason why on Fiverr you need hundreds of dollars for a professional whitepaper creator to create one of for you because this is what investors and bounty hunters will look for, Bitcoin the first Cryptocurrency and those early big projects have their own whitepaper, but it is not the only indication that the project is legit or will have potential, there are many factors and this is just one of them.

I don't think the most important thing is the whitepaper for sure is important but from my opinion the most important is the address of the company who is running the ICO. Why? Cause you can check it with google maps to see if is real, some scam project were found on this way, with a fake location.
It is true, some scam projects use fake locations and this location is important for us to observe about the project whether it is real or not. Although whitepapers are also important things to read, there are many projects that copy existing ideas and reuse them and I think there is a need for something that can be used to assess whether the project is a good project or just a project that will end in a scam.
Here are few things I always make sure that any coin I hold has
1. Serious team that put investors first, they will always want to hear from investors.
2. Standalone project that introduce something very new, not repetitive ideas.
3. The plan to list on better exchanges
Here is my own little advice, forget about whitepaper, just go through it to know more about the project only, do not let whitepaper be the main reason you choose a project.
