[edit] Steve Shapiro

Steve Shapiro (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Tagged for speedy deletion but contains assertions of notability (i.e., famous people Shapiro has worked with), so not a speedy candidate. A full debate needed here. This is a neutral nomination. Chick Bowen 06:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

  • I am radio promoter working on new release for this artist. We expect it to chart well on national jazz radio, and would like to link to wiki page. Please do not delete article. User: C.

    "Expect it to chart well" is not an indicator of present notability. See WP:CRYSTAL. I encourage you to set up a website of your own to link to. --Lquilter (talk) 17:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Article appears to have sufficient citations plus evidence of an extensive discography. I've put a bit of work into tidying it up. Bondegezou (talk) 11:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, no significant coverage from coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, per WP:BIO. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. He has worked with a considerable number of notable jazz and rock artists, meets WP:V. If this is deleted, we'll have to delete things like Morris Pert and Malcolm Mortimore which is just not on.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 15:43, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Seems to meet WP:MUSIC through his album releases. Checks out at label website. SingCal 01:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Meets minimum criteria of WP:MUSIC. — BQZip01 — talk 06:31, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
