Little to no coverage of this lawyer in secondary sources, besides this one New York Post article. The article was created by a WP:SPA back in 2008 and seems to have slipped through the cracks of review. GuardianH (talk) 08:07, 5 January 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * This page should not be deleted. To be the subject in a well-known book, Bringing Down the House, and movie, 21, as Jane was, seems to be cause enough to keep this page active. The movie and book are both significant. In particular, the IMDB profile for Kate Bosworth, mentions her role in 21 (Kate plays Jane in the movie), and the movie is still talked about in gambling circles, making Jane a subject of continues public interest. In New York, there’s general interest in Jane’s marriage to Richard Davey, who is leading Metropolitan Transit Authority (buses and subways). There are many spouses of government officials who have Wikipedia pages, so Jane’s relationship with Rich should factor in keeping the page.   Coolbeans221 (talk) 11:16, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It isn't based on her, it's based on a team collective. She has no widespread coverage of secondary sources even then. GuardianH (talk) 17:50, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Prob Keep - the sources are not great, but feels like there is enough to meet the usual notability standards. JMWt (talk) 10:17, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Nothing for a lawyer, there is an actress with a similar name. Delete for lack of sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 12:49, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
