Comment: The previous decline was about references not showing how this meets notability. There were no changes to sourcing prior to resubmission. You will need to add sources that meet WP:ORGCRIT. Also note that it is about the quality of the sourcing, not the quantity so please refrain from WP:REFBOMBing. Finally, please review WP:COI and WP:PAID and make the appropriate disclosure if applicable. CNMall41 (talk) 20:19, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This draft is written from the viewpoint of the company, focusing on what the company says about itself. Corporate notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the subject.Not every business corporation is notable, and this draft does not establish corporate notability. You may ask for advice about corporate notability at the Teahouse.The title of this draft either has been disambiguated or will need to be disambiguated for acceptance.If the title of this draft has been disambiguated, submitters and reviewers are asked to check the disambiguated title to see if it is the most useful disambiguation, and, if necessary, rename the draft. If this draft is accepted, the disambiguation page will need to be edited. Either an entry will need to be added, or an entry will need to be revised. Please do not edit the disambiguation unless you are accepting this draft.The disambiguation page for the primary name is M13 (disambiguation). Robert McClenon (talk) 02:22, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

This meets "WP:COMPANY" and "WP:CORP" without a doubt. Greylock Partners & Lightspeed Venture Partners are examples with the exact same impact.
