I'll give this a review shortly. Wizardman 03:15, 4 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Here are the issues I found with the article:

First thing I noticed was that there's noting about his personal or early life; everything's about his professional career; surely there's at least something out there in that regard.
His name should be bolded in the lead and T: The New York Times Style Magazine should be linked in the lead.
What's the point of the infobox if his name is the only thing in it? Either add more to it or remove.
The sentence structure through is poor. Every paragraph starts with "In [year]" with no variety, and it essentially makes it a list of things he has done as opposed to an article.
"Design for modo was provided by IDEO with an advertising campaign by Wieden+Kennedy." I'm not seeing what this has to do with Miller at all, and there's a couple other sentences that I have that similar issue with.
In the second paragraph of editor, there's no reason for the laundry list of people he has interviewed, which is unsourced anyway.
I'm seeing a description added for pretty much every magazine. That's why we have wikilinks, those descriptions are not needed.
"He has written travel books for Rough Guides and contributed travel writing to National Public Radio." Should be cited.
There's a few other parts in the article where there's a smaller list of people added. In some cases it's ok, but here it feels like name-dropping; try to make their reason for being in the article stronger.

The article is in good shape for an AFC, but as a good article, it needs a large amount of work that would amount to a complete restructuring. On the plus side, the sourcing is pretty good, so you at least have that foundation to work off of. As a result, I'm going to have to fail this without a hold, as it simply needs too much work.
