Renaissance Capital (US company)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Full disclosure, I found this article because it was posted to the #wikipedia-en irc for possible promotional issues.

Pretty much the whole article is promotional and I could not find any significant coverage. The funds they manage are LISTED, but the company seems not to be, and notability is not inherited. There was a significant expansion of the article concurrent with the previous AfD in 2012, but I do not believe it meets our current standards, even if it was enough for a "no consensus" then: Of the sources considered then, the BusinessWeek article is now a 404 I can't find an archived copy of, the LA Times article appears to be a reprint of a press release submitted to Bloomberg News, and the review in Stocks and Commodities possibly meets the criteria—if there are similar sources, we should consider refocusing the article on that particular product.

I'll also note that some of the employees of Renaissance might be presumed notable under supplementary criteria of NBIO for being highly influential, but there is not an equivalent for companies I'm aware of.

 * Delete Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion. I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. Topic fails GNG/NCORP.  HighKing++ 11:58, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
