Deletion of Toba Capital

Comment: u|timtempleton|Tim}}, the very idea that firms don't want articles here is ironic given that recently some VCs complained in a newspaper in the UK that their articles were being deleted. It appears that many VC articles also rely on "inherited notability" - perhaps one of their partners is notable in their own right or perhaps the firm have invested in notable companies - but that doesn't translate to the VC company being notable themselves. Also, we have debated the criteria for notability for organizations and companies and unless enough people believe VC companies deserve special criteria, then we expect articles that meet the criteria in  to be available. None of those references you've selected meet the criteria for establishing notability. https://www.mercurynews.com/2013/03/04/with-toba-capital-vinny-smith-suddenly-emerges-as-a-player-in-the-venture-industry/ This Mercury News reference is based on an interview with a company officer and contains no intellectually independent analysis or opinion (because the focus of the article is Vinny, not the company), fails . https://www.ocregister.com/2013/05/24/smith-moves-on-after-grueling-battle-with-dell/ The OCR reference is also about Vinny.
