The result was delete. No need to apologize for creating this article, it is just at the moment there is consensus that the subject of the article is not notable enough to be in Wikipedia. This can change some day.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:25, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Alexander Lloyd (venture capitalist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence for notability of this venture capitalist. Saying what firms are in his portfolio is meaningless without an indication of what % he owns. Being " "The Angel 100: New York’s Top Early Stage Investors"" is much too broadly inclusive for it to demonstrate notability  DGG ( talk ) 01:01, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Listings, that's all the sources are, listings, but  nothing  that  ammounts to  WP:BLPSOURCES. And for someone who  is apparently  so  notable, no substantial Ghits. A very  professionally  drafted article however, so much  so  that  it  looks almost  like a promotional piece for his companies masquerading as a biography. Maybe he is notable, but  unfortunately  fails to  satisfy WP:BIO. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:20, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Seems to be conflict of interest, article is strictly written to promote this individual, his sources and a research brings nothing but more promotional hit, only passing mentions. Eduemoni↑talk↓  05:13, 26 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi, I created this article and it was the first article I created for Wikipedia. I have a friend who saw him at a lecture and I started researching him and thought he was notable. I did go through the article submission process and the article was approved by Satellizer. I do not know Lloyd at all. I do have a journalism degree and am a writer; I tried to write a strong article. I apologize if I should not have created the article. Thank you--BuzyBody (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete. While there appears not to be a strong COI here, there is no clear notability. Unless we can find something that the subject has done that has not been done by other venture capitalists beyond setting up a VC firm and being a member of it, I am afraid it does not belong on Wikipedia. --gilgongo (talk) 23:30, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
