Highly respected, but not high-profile cellist. The sources are lacking for WP:BIO. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:12, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and New York. Shellwood (talk) 13:22, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: A Google search turns up an article on Interlude HK and another on The Plain Dealer about how he gifted his cello to Daniel Müller-Schott. Not able to look up myself at the moment, but am confident that more may turn up in an archival newspaper search. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 18:02, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Weak keep based on the above sources, would appear to just past GNG. I can't find anything for him however. Oaktree b (talk) 18:46, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: As suspected, ample testimony to Shapiro's notability turns up in archival sources. He was the winner of a Naumberg Prize, which alone ought to secure this article's place based on WP:ANYBIO. Shapiro's professional debut was also covered by none other than Winthrop Sargeant. A selection of some articles about Shapiro follows: [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5]. I will try to add these and expand the article later this week (unless somebody else beats me to it). —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 22:02, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per the reliable sources coverage identified in this discussion such as newspaper articles that show a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
