Tediously this article has been revived after a previous AfD and a speedy deletion template has been removed by an experienced editor who should know better (though I'll admit the previous AfD did not attract a great deal of participation). The sources are entirely press releases, potted biographies on business/company websites and name checks online. There's no evidence of significant reliable news coverage about Fisher. I'd recommend it is re-redirected to Draper Fisher Jurvetson and prevented from being re-recreated. Sionk (talk) 04:24, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete: if not Speedily, per nomination. This smacks of a publicist trying to gain fame for a rich client. Wikipedia is not a directory of venture capitalists. Toddst1 (talk) 04:37, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Comment Although I put the speedy on, DGG was correct in removing it as the author changed the article with added references that need to be considered at AFD. I don't have a view on deleting or keeping it. Atlantic306 (talk) 05:27, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
