Not notable for his journalism or competition on The Voice. All sources are PR, unreliable, or written by Taub himself. Prod declined. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 01:03, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Seemingly a vanity article, listing anything for which he has a byline, all of which isn't substantial journalism and only proves that he's a freelancer or employee for the title. KaisaL (talk) 02:41, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails GNG as not notable. This is a Pseudo-biography of a freelance journalist. With over 3000 papers in the US, thousands worldwide, 7000 magazines (US) and 82 billion a year (US) in digital forms of media there is nothing unique or encyclopedic about this BLP. I do like his writing style but I am sure that is not a valid reason to keep. Otr500 (talk) 03:19, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Notability not established in the article or by the sources. EdChem (talk) 07:04, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
