- Keep I was going to just comment that COI is ad hominem and that the rules that form its only valid basis be applied instead, but it turns out this nomination is itself proof of that. Just assuming that there is no basis for the article, simply because the writer has a COI, is a false assumption. The New York Times covers Sequoia Capital and Jim Goetz. You just have to search for "Jim Goetz" plus "Sequoia Capital" Anarchangel (talk) 18:00, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep COI != summary grounds for removal of a notable topic. What is called for is depuffing. Collect (talk) 12:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
