Keep over 300 linked wiki articles use this author as a source as well as major publications like the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. I can look for more if needed. There are numerous books that use him as a source as well.

Delete - does not meet
WP:NAUTHOR criteria. Of course the subject has articles - he is a columnist. That does not make him notable.--

Delete - the editor objecting to deletion,
User:Patapsco913, created this article on 23 December, today added a huge number of Nate Bloom
WP:LINKSPAM to Wikipedia articles, in most cases adding it as gratuitous
WP:OVERCITING to articles that already had proper
RS cites to support Jewish heritage. This strikes me as highly suspicious evidence that this is a
WP:COI editor, and his comments should be taken in that perspective. And given the dozens of such cites today alone, I would also take his "300 wiki articles" statement in that perspective. --

He is a good source. I really don't care if this article is deleted. I just though that people should be able to refer to someone who is being used throughout wikipedia. Many of the citations are either archived, questionable reliability, or unlinked.

Debra Granik - I added because two sources that are less detailed from two authors is better than one
Alan Menken - I don't think playbill is seen as an overly reliable source and the mention was cursory "Another early show was Dear Worthy Editor, based on letters to the editor of the Jewish Daily Forward, which, he said, "I was talked into writing by my mother." Engel called Dear Worthy Editor "the most anti-Semitic thing he'd ever heard in his life," said Menken, who is Jewish, to great laughter." so I figured two citations was good.
Todd Lieberman - I figured two citations was better than one
Paul Reiser - the exiting source states "Though Stuyvesant Town drew its residents from many ethnic groups, the predominant ones were Jewish and Irish Catholic, he said. There was a Jewish basketball playground and there was a Catholic basketball playground. We never played together, he said." and of course we know he is Jewish given his name but the source does not say that specifically.
Delete. He appears to be just another specialty-newspaper columnist. All the sources we have are either by him or quoting him, not providing the in-depth coverage about him needed for
WP:GNG. —
