Article is barely a stub; does not assert any kind of notability for the individual other than "works for AOL".

I think my favourite part of this is the presumptive redlink on the term "digital prophet", as if that were a thing that there will ever actually be an article about. But yeah, I'm not seeing a strong claim of actual
notability, as opposed to mere existence, here. Delete.

Keep "Shingy" is notable for being both a symbol of post-Web 2.0 excesses and as an indicator of how far AOL has fallen from its dotcom heights. He was profiled in several notable publications in May of this year—see

Keep - Shitty stub, but when the three footnotes are substantial coverage in The New Yorker,Details, and The Guardian, GNG is fulfilled and we are done here. A good bio for somebody to work on sometime... IDONTLIKEIT or ITDOESNTSEEMIMPORTANT are not valid rationales for deletion.

Keep The quality of the article notwithstanding, there is plenty of significant coverage to qualify it for gng.
