[edit] Notability

He also dontated a whole gyms worth of Body By Jake equipment to his hometown middle school (Baldwin Middle School). I think he did that in 2000. Sweetbabycin 05:54, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

How is Jake Steinfeld not notable? Granted he's not an "A-list" celebrity but he has made some impact in both the exercise industry and acting (IMDB lists 18 roles for him and he's a voice in the upcoming Ratatouille (film)). See Wikipedia's "What links here" for more. --Georgeryp 01:28, 27 May 2007 (UTC) - -

Agreed with Georgeryp. Mr. Steinfeld is voicing a character (Git, to be exact) in Ratatouille (film), and he has acted in several TV shows. Also, the fact that he co-founded the MLL makes him even more notable. Frankly, I don't see how a fairly sizeable contribution to both sports and acting can make a person non-notable.

I think the next step is to add more to this stub and then the notability flag could probably be removed. Unfortunately, I can't dedicate the time to it now but here are some "To do's" - His website states he will soon receive an award related to his struggles with stuttering. I am 90% sure he was on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch in the past few months so maybe CNBC's website has some video or text related to it. --Georgeryp 00:52, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
