  • Keep The subject seems notable. Barca (talk) 13:38, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Jason Calacanis. I don't think there is any content worth merging from it. Of its sources, Philly Mag and Forbes are not WP:SIGCOV, being lists of many many podcasts; the Business Insider source is not specifically about This Week in Startups, instead it is about Calacanis' misstep on Twitter in relation to offering people slots on the podcast. I searched for more sources and found nothing. No SIGCOV, does not satisfy WP:NWEB or WP:GNG. -Lopifalko (talk) 18:46, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (web) and WP:SIGCOV. I added an article from The Wall Street Journal.4meter4 (talk) 18:54, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@4meter4: I cannot access it, does it have WP:SIGCOV? -Lopifalko (talk) 19:12, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Middling. They picked up a story from the podcast which to me indicates some significance.4meter4 (talk) 19:17, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We need coverage that specifically deals with the podcast itself, or a significant amount of the article does so. In my view there are as yet no sources that do that. -Lopifalko (talk) 19:28, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
