Gurley is a non-notable investor. The coverage is pretty weak, such as interviews with him. John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:59, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I’ve been following this page and would argue Bill Gurley meets the guidelines outlined in Notability. Though his Wiki article currently doesn't reflect it, his remarks on the state of venture capital in Silicon Valley were covered by Fortune, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal , which noted Gurley as, “one of Silicon Valley’s top technology deal makers.” His personal blog, Above The Crowd, and his post on the subject have been cited by Bloomberg , Vanity Fair and The Wall Street Journal.

Additionally, Gurley has appeared on stage at SXSW alongside Malcolm Gladwell, is regularly on Forbes Midas List, and won Venture Capitalist of the Year at this year's TechCrunch Crunchies. Kshanti07 (talk) 00:06, 19 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep – The subject meets WP:BASIC. There are several non-interview sources available that provide significant coverage. Some contain quotes, but are not entire interviews. North America1000 08:48, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
