Subject has a long list of mentions (both listed in the article and found during my BEFORE), but, on closer inspection, all appear to be passing mentions, not "significant," ROUTINE, not independent of the source, or unreliable, thus failing GNG. Rebb ing   21:14, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as nothing actually suggesting any solid independent notability for his own article. SwisterTwister   talk  22:08, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Recommend keeping page intact, as "significant" direct, dedicated media coverage of subject has been added, including notable characterizations of subject. Additionally, added info backing up significance of firm he co-founded. Taken together, subject now passes GNG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnCOReilly (talk • contribs) 18:41, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and by himself, his achievements are not notable at all.
 * Retain Meets WP:GNG and subject's achievements are indeed notable: co-founded a leading VC firm which has backed some of the largest tech companies such as Facebook; he was called "one of the key VCs in Europe" by TechCrunch editor-at-large. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patpiven (talk • contribs) 17:14, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Please note that notability is not typically inherited: the fact that Mr. Zocco's firm may be notable does not make him notable. Rubbing elbows with notable companies and individuals and frequent mentions in the press fall far short of the significant and independent coverage described by GNG and BASIC.
