The subject does not have any notability. Most of the sources are from a non-notable, defunct website he used to be editor-in-chief of, and the others aren't much better. He was nominated for a local award once, again in relation to the defunct website, and then wrote a book that didn't get press coverage. In a WP:BEFORE search, there's a blog with an interview, so not considered a RS, and then a NY Sun article where he once held a party on a subway car. Not enough to pass GNG.
