Gurley is a non-notable investor. The coverage is pretty weak, such as interviews with him. John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:59, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve been following this page and would argue Bill Gurley meets the guidelines outlined in Wikipedia:Notability. Though his Wiki article currently doesn't reflect it, his remarks on the state of venture capital in Silicon Valley were covered by Fortune[1], The New York Times[2] and The Wall Street Journal[3], which noted Gurley as, “one of Silicon Valley’s top technology deal makers.” His personal blog, Above The Crowd, and his post[4] on the subject have been cited by Bloomberg[5], Vanity Fair[6] and The Wall Street Journal.[7]

Additionally, Gurley has appeared on stage at SXSW[8] alongside Malcolm Gladwell, is regularly on Forbes Midas List,[9] and won Venture Capitalist of the Year at this year's TechCrunch Crunchies.[10] Kshanti07 (talk) 00:06, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
