Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toba Capital
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.

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.
