Comment: Looks like a neologism to promote Grow VC. Hopefully, Vc20 (talk · contribs) will join the discussion to explain what he's been trying to accomplish. --Ronz (talk) 04:26, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Happy to join the discussion. I'm not intentionally trying to use any tactics here for promoting things, for what ever may come out that way, goes into not fully understanding the ins and outs of wikipedia policies, just trying to contribute. But it seems that anything I write, its considered wrong by default and are just deleted (even if Wikipedia own rules, now that I have tried to study those more, suggest that instead of deleting wikipedia suggest to first edit them to make them more general if the original writers text come out too biased). What comes to this specific article about startup ecosystem, I really have hard time understanding why it would not be relevant? Here is what google can find about the topic: https://www.google.com/search?q=startup+ecosystem so it should be relevant enough. I guess it could be combined with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrepreneurial_ecosystem article (another word could be startup scene as used to explain one such ecosystem in Finland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_startup_scene ), but as a whole it's highly relevant for those involved in a startup ecosystem, and trying to understand what it is, how it functions and how to go about thinking of contributing to improve one.

I'm open for any suggestions on how to improve the process of actually getting something to stick in here. Should it first be send for someone for approval or work together with someone else here, instead of spending countless hours coming up with article or other contribution, only to see it get deleted. --Vc20 (talk)

Comment: Your contributions are appreciated, but any and all additions to Wikipedia require references for the material its citing. WP is not the place for original research. Please include references to reliable sources for any contributions so that this process is not necessary.

In the meantime, you might want to use your Sandbox space to develop an article before posting it to the live site or use the article creation wizard to guide you.

Lastly, no one is challenging the information you posted (yet), but it does need to cited and credited for it to remain posted. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 16:48, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - Unless it can be substantiated with reliable sources. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 15:28, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete !vote by nominator struck as duplicative of nomination. You can add additional comments of course, but don't use that formatting as that's supposed to indicate !votes by separate contributors. postdlf (talk) 18:22, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Preliminary source searches indicate that the topic meets Wikipedia's threshold of notability. Clicking on the Google News Archive and Google Books links above provides many sources and potential sources. E.g. [1], [2], [3], [4]. Northamerica1000^(talk) 01:40, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
