 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Coretheapple (talk) 00:09, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. The notability of the subject does not rest upon his present occupation, but on his earlier position as president of Media Matters, in which capacity he was a regular target of ultra conservative groups. Full disclosure: I created the first version of the article. --Lambiam 02:11, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Redirect The sources here are very weak - a press release from his own company, HuffPost, a light-weight interview, one line in an article about Jon Stewart... If his main claim to fame is having been president of Media Matters then this should be redirected there. I also notice that he is not listed in the "Staff" section, but as former president there could surely be a sentence for him in that section with the dates of his position.
