Delete: I prodded the article for the exact same reasons but the nominator hastily moved it to Afd while the unchallenged PROD was still in session. Anyways, i'll repeat what I stated there; The only ref currently provided in the article is about said journalist's marriage, not his career. A WP:BEFORE search revealed coverage only by NBC News, the firm he works for. No third party coverage to establish independent notability as a journalist. Fails WP:BIO.
