Looks like a hoax. The article was started by a user who was later blocked by being a sock, it has 10 references but none of them is a reliable source describing the activity of the subject of the article. Search does not give anything useful. Finally, it is unlikely that someone born in 2000 achieved an encyclopedic notability as a writer by 2016. Ymblanter (talk) 20:27, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as hoax. Courtesy the same block evading accounts that gave us George Nikitin, an actor also born in 2000, whose bio was similarly laced with spurious references. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:34, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as a hoax. The article claims he was involved in writting a film that was released in 2011, that a look at the article on the film shows is an out right lie. The other claims in the article seem to be equally false. Even if he was a New York Times contributor, which seems to be false, that would not make him default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:35, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SNOW - even assuming good faith error, according to his listed created this year, he has published zero articles at MSNBC. In other words, he's a writer but not published. Bearian (talk) 19:03, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
