Non notable thought leader. His "Digital Prophet" position at AOL is entirely his only self-promotional imagination DGG ( talk ) 03:49, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I really wanted to !vote differently to see this disappear as the digital prophet moniker makes my skin crawl but sadly he seems to have made the grade in terme of WP:GNG as per the Guardian article and the Vanity Fair one amongst others. I can't access the WP article but just the title alone points to notability albeit negative. Sorry...--Dom from Paris (talk) 15:30, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While I understand that his job title makes others' skin crawl, the person is clearly notable. It doesn't matter whether he is delusional, only whether he passes GNG, which a quick Google News search confirms he does. Gilded Snail (talk) 21:29, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
