"
West Caldwell man wins journalism award" (9 July 2010) – a two-sentence article in a local newspaper about him winning "the award for CampusProgress.org Breakthrough Story or Series".
"
The Paranoid Center" (26 March 2019) – only a trivial mention: "... the strongest skeptics of the Russiagate narrative have been left-wing journalists –
Taibbi,
Glenn Greenwald, Michael Tracey and others."
All in all, the coverage is rather sparse and trivial, and Michael Tracey does not seem to be sufficiently
notable to warrant a Wikipedia article.

Weak keep looking beyond what is in the article at the moment, I found
this piece which exclusively focuses on Tracey. Altogether, the article passes
WP:BASIC.--

Delete A bunch of secondary sources and one ok good source, not really there yet. A few more god sources like the Daily Dot, we should be ok though.

Keep theres a lot of unnecessary references but between the ones which actually talk about the subject and the daily dot article Kleinpecan found I do think that
WP:GNG is satisfied.

Delete Looking through the article, he doesn't seem notable enough. There are a thousand internet personalities just like this and most of them don't deserve articles, either. When you have to start citing Youtube and Twitter to fill out the citations for a biographical article, that's a sign the subject doesn't meet notability.

Delete besides for the DailyDot article, none of the secondary sources seem to give significant coverage of the subject.

Delete As I said, the only arguably notable thing that's happened in his career was pretending to have been shoved by Maxine Waters. Maybe he deserves some brief mention on a page about political internet humor/memes.

Keep per Horse Eye's Back. I also found four additional sources which had not been considered yet (I have expanded the article using these and the Daily Dot article):
