Fails notability guidelines at WP:GROUP. I have no connection to the subject, I stumbled across it when a newly created account was adding a non-notable to the list of people who were first on the board of this now defunct group. I removed that, and then the listing of all the other board members who were non-notable. I tried finding some sources regarding the group but came up short, realizing the entire group was non-notable and unlikely to gain any as it no longer exists. Prod was contested.

• Author Comment. What does prod mean? Stevenmitchell (talk) 23:19, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Please see WP:PROD. It is the informal process to delete an article, the tag you removed and hence the formal process now. Ifnord (talk) 03:36, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Can't find anything on en-news RS. The two non-en news sources gave it passing reference in the CVs of individuals (e.g. here). It does appear in a book search, but again only in passing reference or in books where it is listed as per a directory of sources of investors. These are all supporting its existance. However, I could find nothing supporting its notability; not a single material RS discussing the fund or its impact that would meet WP:GNG. Britishfinance (talk) 20:21, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. What does "en-news RS" and "RS" mean? Stevenmitchell (talk) 09:03, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. @Stevenmitchell: RS is from WP:RS, and "en-news" are RS news sources where English is the language. I can see that there are some foreign sources oon this but the ones I checked were just name-checking the Fund and not discussing/profiling it (e.g. goes to prove existance but not notability). However, this fund may appear with different names in Russian/Asian media and thus a good RS that does profile the fund could exist in a major paper in these areas?

• Delete Not able to find any significant coverage of the fund itself. In my searches I found passing mentions like [1], which is certainly not enough to pass WP:GNG. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 11:43, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
