  • Delete Don't let all those links fool you: this is a very small, non-notable hedge fund, about which no neutral editor would even THINK of trying to write an article. UnitedStatesian 14:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Restore If you work in the hedge fund business, you know that Everest Capital is a notable hedge fund. The company has been in business for 18 years -- for that fact alone it is "notable." Everest manages more than $2 billion and has been investing in emerging markets since 1990 -- I don't know any other firm that's been in that business for so long. Its founder -- Marko Dimitrijević -- is on the board of the Stanford Business School (if you think it's hard to get into that school, forget about being voted onto its advisory board...) Dimitrijević has been interviewed widely and has chapters written about him in two respected, top-selling hedge fund books, "Investing with the Hedge Fund Giants" and "Inside the House of Money." His chapter in the second book, written by Steve Drobny, an internationally known expert on hedge fund investing, is posted as a link. Neither of those authors would have wasted their time to write a chapter on Dimitrijević and his firm if he weren't "notable." The entry also includes links to interviews of Dimitrijević in the mainstream and specialized business press, Financial Times, Reuters, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madridchico (talk • contribs) 16:10, 24 May 2007 (UTC)— Madridchico (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Comment: The Advisory Council of the Stanford Graduate School of Business has about 75 members, so that hardly establishes notability in itself. The "top-selling hedge fund book" Investing with the Hedge Fund Giants gets only 337 Google hits. Inside the House of Money gets 35,200 Google hits, but still, one chapter in a book by Steve Drobny / Steven Drobny does not demonstrate notability. Seeing the advertisement-like nature of the articles on Everest Capital and Marko Dimitrijević, I suspect a conflict of interest on the part of Hedgie1 / Madridchico. --Bwiki 17:44, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable hedge fund, reads like an advertisement. Mmoneypenny 16:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The Financial Times article is certainly a RS, and the others, including the book chapter, though not sufficient by themselves, add to the background. The 75 graduates the Stanford Business Schools selects is a fairly distinction selection from its thousands. DGG 02:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep A mention by Forbes is enough to assure notability. The ad like content can be fixed by a comprehensive rewrite.--Kylohk 16:23, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment The Forbes article is a reveiew of the Drobny book. Are you really saying that every firm that has ever been mentioned in Forbes is notable enough for WP? UnitedStatesian 01:32, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-Notable. Madridchico looks like the owner of the fund. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stellatomailing (talk • contribs) 17:02, 28 May 2007
  • Delete as per notability criteria. --Kralizec! (talk) 19:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
