 * Delete: Most statements are unsourced, the rest is in non-RS. Salon is about the best I can find,, but that's all there is. Oaktree b (talk) 23:50, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. I found a number of reviews and articles about him in The New York Times, including this review of one of his magic shows, a detailed article about his marriage, an article about his magic collection, and coverage of him teaching prisoners magic by mail. I also found coverage of him in The Austin Chronicle (link), Forbes (link), The Plain Dealer (link), The Harvard Gazette (link), Leaders Magazine (link), The OSU Alumni Magazine (link), Playbill (link), and other places. There are even reviews and coverage of his magic books on Boing Boing (link), The Guam Daily Post (link) and WCPO (link) while the Wikipedia Library shows coverage of his magic work in magazines and journals such as Boys' Life, Entertainment Weekly, i-Perception, Journal of Hand Therapy, Odyssey, and other places. Finally, he's appeared on major TV shows including The Today Show (link) and the Late Late Show with James Corden (link). Yes, the article needs work but all of this coverage shows Jay meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. --SouthernNights (talk) 14:30, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
