Deletion of Lakestar

Comment: for this to be  then you are suggesting that the New York Times, Financial Times, Bloomberg, TechCrunch and many others are all allowing Lakestar to self promote on their media platforms. There might be the odd exception of this happening with contributors, but the problem cannot be that widespread as you are suggesting. Also when the Financial Times runs an article titled "Tech investor Klaus Hommels raises new €350m fund," that is not hopes and aspirations, its financial reporting. As for Israel article, it also states ''"Swiss Ambassador to Israel Jean-Daniel Ruch told Globes"'' and then follows on ''"Ruch says that the Swiss embassy has so far organized visits to Israel by 12 groups and delegations of businesspeople and administration figures."'' Surely that demonstrates wider reporting on the subject? For SPIP to apply to that  article, it would have to essentially be a redistributed press release. The announcement also came at the ''"Swiss embassy in Israel,"'' so this is major news of financial investment between two countries, even if its private money

Comment: The Bloomberg reference fails as a reliable source even for supporting details within an article never mind the higher standard of NCORP. We don't accept "anonymous" sources for information. The https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-swiss-vc-fund-lakestar-to-invest-in-israel-1001262538 Globes reference is based entirely on information provided by the company and is standard churnalism where an "executive" is interviewed and provides forward-looking details of future plans as well as a profile. It is not intellectually independent and fails . The TechCrunch article also fails  as it is "dependent coverage" since it is based on a company announcement - "Today they announce ...". Lots of similar churnalism available on the same announcement such as https://tech.eu/brief/lakestar-announce-lakestar-ii-a-new-e350-million-fund-focused-on-early-stage-investments-in-europe/ TechEU, https://venturebeat.com/2015/08/24/european-vc-firm-lakestar-launches-mammoth-new-400m-fund-for-local-and-u-s-startups/ Venturebeat, lots more references in the article itself and https://www.monumentgroup.com/press-release/european-vc-lakestar-closes-new-e350million-fund their own press release

Comment: It is not the fact that they are reporting it, it is financial reporting, but the reporting is generic, not just here, but in almost every business article that goes to Afd, and it fails . The business articles that are solid on WP, and that survive from the instance they are created have independent coverage outwith financial reporting. Most financial report on here are generic, and are covered as trivia on , and is explicity designed to negate the trivia as notable sources

Comment: If you take a look at , the guideline for organizations/corporations, it states that references must |be in-depth and not mere mentions-in-passing. The Forbes reference in an interview with Klaus Hommels and only mentions Lakestar in passing, therefore fails . I would also say that a Forbes article relying extensively on an interview with a connected source such as a founder/CEO/etc contains any content where you can be sure of its independence. The Bloomberg reference is not a reliable source since it clearly states that the information is from unidentified "people with knowledge of the plans, asking not to be named because the matter was private" and the reference therefore fails

Comment: References fail the criteria for esablishing notability which is a stricter standard that that used for references that support facts/information. References are based on announcements and interviews or inclusion in lists and they fail  and/or
