[edit] Highland Capital Partners

Highland Capital Partners (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Does not meet WP notability criteria; reads like spam. Was deleted before after an expired PROD and has not experienced a significant fix. —ScouterSig 19:02, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as nominator. To see the 'before' and 'after' pages, admin User:MastCell userfied the orignial article for me so that I could see what was going on. It is in my subpage User:Scoutersig/Highland Capital Partners draft. He also suggested I bring the article to AfD, rather than just PROD. —ScouterSig 19:05, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete They do exist, but don't assert notability. Very similar to many other hedge fund companies, but cannot find any sources, which makes then notable. scope_creep (talk) 19:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as a non-notable venture capital fund. Most of the articles are either press releases or blubs about a company that they invest in doing something. While a lot of HCP's portfolio investments may very well be notable, that doesn't necessarily confer notability onto them. These folks are mainly passive investors who put the odd representative onto a firm's board. But they are not an active manager of firms as is Kohlberg Kravis Roberts or Cerberus Capital Management.
