Deletion of David Auerbach (2nd nomination)

Comment: The allegations that this AFD is motivated by anything except Wikipedia policies are frivolous, unfounded, and a violation of our core principle |assume good faith.   They should be struck from this page as disruptive and irrelevant.  However, I believe that writing for a prominent publication like ''Slate'' confers sufficient notability for an article

Comment: The notability guidelines most directly applicable here are  and . I have just asked the subject at his userpage (he has an account at Wikipedia) for assistance in locating high quality sources that cover him directly. As he is the subject he would be in the best position to know about the existence of such sources, but it would be decent of us to allow him at least a few days to respond. Closing admin please take note: The subject has raised concerns that the underlying motivation of some !voters at this AfD may be revenge-based rather than policy-based. I think the discussion so far has been well within the realm of policy, so I only raise this so that it can't later be said that this issue was not considered in the closing of this AfD

Comment: Per  and . Apart from the articles that this person has written for the magazine company he works for, I don't see any secondary independent |reliable sources that asserts ''significant coverage'' exists and that  is satisfied. The sources listed in the article appear to either be primary sources (such as https://www.newamerica.org/experts/david-b-auerbach/ this one), or simply mention the person's name and is not ''in-depth'' coverage (such as http://www.magazine.org/slate-17 this one). The other two sources are simply article that the person has written and do not count as reliable sources at all. Also appears to fail  as well
