Non-notable[edit]

A web search turns up one in-depth source on the article subject. Everything else is a minor mention or one if his articles on how ot make something. Does nto pass WP:GNG.104.163.150.250 (talk) 20:37, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

According to his page in NYC School of Visual arts (where he teaches) he has been mentioned in The New York Times, People, TV Guide, NY Post, among others. I've found an article about his TV show on NYPost with several references to him and some paragraphs dedicated to the subject, also this one on Newsday... It goes on when it comes to TV shows. There's also this short article about him on Popular Mechanics (another one by a different author). I think there's more than enough. Saturnalia0 (talk) 12:02, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maintenance tags[edit]

I added secondary sources and resolved most of the citation needed tags ([1], [2]). Has the issue been sufficiently addressed? There are still two cn tags and currently three out of eight references are secondary. Saturnalia0 (talk) 12:16, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Toy company[edit]

Jimmy's toy company was formed with his brother Joe, not John. I know this from personal interviews but I believe it was mentioned in a MakerCast podcast interview. I'll see if I can verify that before I make any changes, but the article as it stands is incorrect in that detail. 2600:8801:2E80:29A:B4C8:BB17:A204:8A74 (talk) 09:06, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
