He is contemplating a bid for an NFL team, and he was invited to take part in OceanGate, which he declined. Both of these had Bloom in the news, but there's no evidence he's a notable businessman. If and when he becomes an NFL owner, he might be notable but I can't find a viable ATD as the potential Vegas team is not a Thing. Star Mississippi 23:46, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. The article is unneccessary in itself and believe it was only made to create more links with Rush. 86.17.54.133 (talk) 10:31, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I have rewritten the article, expanding it with several added references and cutting back on the NBA and Titan bits. Not all the coverage is positive: for some reason the article creator removed mention of the Las Vegas Experience, a failed attraction at the Tropicana Las Vegas that went bankrupt after he withdrew as managing partner in the face of accusations of financial malfeasance. There is extensive coverage in the Las Vegas newspapers of these events, and they are mentioned in much of the coverage of the bid to attract an NBA team. However, together those make for a lot of press about him and his business dealings. One of his companies, Pegasus, has attracted wider coverage. Unfortunately since NY Weekly is blacklisted, I can't cite "Jay Bloom Talks Green Entrepreneurship" (May 21, 2021). I was able to cite an interview in Ami, a Jewish magazine, which enabled me to include his being raised Jewish (we had a category but no reference, a BLP violation), a bit about his early life, and several early companies, one of which, Pet Assure, had been covered in the business press in the late 1990s. One of those articles let me replace the uncited date of birth with an approximate birth year, again fixing a BLP vio. There's a gap in his career including when he moved to Las Vegas because the Ami article is not accessible in its entirety, but I believe the enduring coverage as now cited demonstrates notability under GNG.

  • Keep: After the significant expansion of the article I think it is notable enough for inclusion. Coverage spanning from the 1990s makes it enough for this person to receive sustained coverage. HarukaAmaranth 春香 22:00, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: and thanks to Yngvadottir for rescuing this article. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:04, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the very insightful and helpful contributions made by @Yngvadottir The article on Jay Bloom has been substantially improved with additional references and a more balanced presentation of his career, including both successes and controversies. The inclusion of the Las Vegas Experience and the subsequent bankruptcy adds a critical dimension to the biography, demonstrating significant coverage in reliable sources, as per the general notability guideline WP:GNG. The coverage of his business dealings in Las Vegas newspapers, along with his association with Pegasus Group Holdings, which has attracted attention beyond local media, further solidifies his notability. The effort to address previous BLP violations by providing sourced content for his early life and religious background certainly enhancees the article's compliance with Wikipedia's biography policies. The existing gap in his career timeline does not detract from the overall notability established by enduring coverage. Therefore the article should be kept and further improved as additional sources become available.
