Draft:Seth Taube

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: The Post is a deprecated source so should not be use (see WP:NYPOST), Mashable is an interview so primary and not independent. The NYT and Forbes articles do not say much about Taube so is trivial coverage about him. The SEC is a primary source so cannot be used to establish notability.
