Alloy Ventures
The result was   Speedy Keep (Non-admin closure). It's obvious the nominator started this AfD only as retribution for a previous AfD on an article to which he has an emotional attachment. The article is clearly well-referenced, and furthermore it is under expert attention. There is no argument that the topic passes WP:GNG. Let's not waste anyone else's time any further with this. talk 22:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Lack of notability.

Maksan84 (talk) 13:24, 25 May 2010 (UTC) Lack of notability.


 * Article is a part of Private Equity Task Force and is a subject of experts attention. The article represents a stub (indicated using a stub tag) and being constantly improved by members of the task force. The notability of the company remains at a high level for the experts of the industry and meets the general notability policy. The acting of Maksan84 is, assumably, backed by an interpersonal issue with me and the nomination for deletion of the article Kamaliya with, assumably, no professional point of view of the private equity industry.

Maksan84 (talk) 13:43, 25 May 2010 (UTC) Zhernovoi is correct only at 50%. I really found an article about Alloy Ventures when I had been looking through his contributions. However, I really do not understand the value and notability of Alloy Ventures for Wikipedia and its readers. I kindly ask Mr. Zhernovoi to present at least 5 external links to media or expert communities, which prove that Ally Ventures is worth to be presented on Wikipedia.

 * Alloy Ventures, as a Company, is being widely covered by several third-party independent sources. The lookup at, for example, Google News and Google Books shows non-archived articles concerning Alloy Ventures and funded companies. The Notability policy of Wikipedia does not indicate a fixed amount of sourced needed to specify an article as notable. Zhernovoi (talk) 13:56, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. This already had a number of references; I have added some more, all of which I believe constitute substantial coverage in reliable sources and therefore establish notability. Gonzonoir (talk) 14:39, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. notability established, coverage in reliable sources used as references, article under experts attention of Private Equity Task Force.


 * User Maksan84 added a COI tag to the article. In my opinion, the point of neutrality is being kept — information added from direct sources, NOR. Zhernovoi (talk) 15:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
