Article appears to fail WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. The two sources which significantly discuss a person are not about the subject, but about his father and his wife respectively. The other sources are either primary or non-significant coverage, and a Google search on my end has failed to turn up sources which pass the requirements laid out in WP:GNG.

I'm new to the deletion process, so I apologize in advance for any errors (thank you to ThadeusOfNazereth for explaining the issues and sharing resources on the process). While Rogers isn't a household name, he is a notable and well-known figure in an area of finance with a high impact on society, and he's active in leadership of high-profile philanthropic work. There are sources that more directly address his notability that I didn't include because they didn't seem relevant to his biographical information: https://www.businessinsider.com/hartley-rogers-hamilton-lane-interview-2014-1 https://www.di.se/nyheter/boom-for-riskkapital-fortfarande-gott-om-affars https://www.buyoutsinsider.com/five-questions-with-hartley-rogers-of-hamilton-lane/ https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/HLNE/company-people/executive-profile/117863475

Would it be helpful to include those? Pogobryan (talk) 15:42, 21 January 2021 (UTC)Pogobryan

I've added additional sources that establish notability in financial services industry, including coverage in a major international business publication, as well as interviews in Business Insider, Buyouts Insider, Institutional Investor, and the Wall Street Journal.
