Companion article oto RRE Ventures, the adjoining AfD. Obvious promotional intent--the same single purpose account wrote the two articles. Similarly nothing here but a list of companies he has invested in (repeated twice in the article) and similar directory information. DGG ( talk ) 02:31, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I believe this article is OK, after I rewrote the piece. It was so clearly a resume cut and pasted into WP. Someone needs to take the URLS and make them into real citations. The original was really lazy work. I have no interest in doing the same for RRE Ventures. The author of that article is user:Jdriv, who I believe is the selfsame James D. Robinson IV and has an obvious COI. Rhadow (talk) 11:12, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- primarily known for RRE Ventures, which has been deleted at AfD. There's nothing else there, so delete. Sources I see are not independent of the company and / or PR-driven. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:50, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - run of the mill business person who has done nothing really notable. Bearian (talk) 14:02, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article meets GNG standard: significant coverage from independent sources. The only argument left is that the subject is commonplace. Having a powerful father, going to Harvard Business School, and starting a VC firm may seem commonplace, because you often read about them, but how many people actually do it? Compare the number with how many articles there are about college professors, for example. Or the number of articles about ball-players. Rhadow (talk) 19:09, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
