Most of the sources don't appear to mention the subject of the article and those that do are just short blurbs and brief mentions. Doesn't appear to have any reason to be notable as the head of a boutique PR firm. CorporateM (Talk) 21:53, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Comment. A quick Google search suggests that the subject might be notable, though for his Madison Avenue years before 1998 rather than anything since - one generally has to search for "Mike Becker" rather then on his full name as above. However, his preferred version of his name is not unique to him, and advertising industry sources by their nature have a strong tendency toward promotional language - I therefore suspect that while an article based on clearly reliable sources might be possible, sorting out enough of those sources from the casual and/or routine mentions and likely puffery might be difficult.
