Venture Capital Investment Competition

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Speedy deleted as a7 (no assertion of notability) - overturned after Deletion review/Log/2009 May 23 and now listed here as a largely procedural matter. Peripitus (Talk) 07:55, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep When that many notable schools are involved with this, it makes it notable.  D r e a m Focus  10:47, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I !voted "overturn" at the DRV, because that wasn't a correct speedy; but we don't consider questions of notability at DRV, and at AfD, we should.  By any reasonable yardstick, this is not notable. I want to specifically challenge Dream Focus' reply, because Dream Focus is apparently arguing that notability is inherited from the schools to the competition, but notability is not inherited.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  12:51, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wonder if Dream Focus thought of inheritance, I mostly paid attention to Phil Bridger's comment on the DRV that sources easily can be found. Phil's Gbook search  returns 6 books, I would say that  The psychology of entrepreneurship‎  is a WP:RS although the mention is not in-depth.  A regular Gsearch returns all the participating business schools' homepages and newletters (and perhaps more, haven't checked them all), like Wharton, ad libitum, but also no-US like Oxford UK  where the competition is said to be prestigious - unless we consider them plain POV pushers with a vested interest - they came second in the competition  ;-) . It's also mentioned on Reuters , and in a Tech Journal .  To me, a clear pass for WP:V and WP:GNG with plenty of WP:RS. Power.corrupts (talk) 14:11, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and an academic journal located on Gscholar. Power.corrupts (talk) 14:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Mentioned at an official site of University of California, Irvine, this seems to be notable enough to pass despite the fishy looking title.  The external links contain reliable sources. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:16, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
