The subject of the article does not appear to meet WP:BIO standards. Pastor Theo (talk) 14:16, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I believe he is notable enough: 2500 Google Scholar hits 16000 Google "eros" hits 86 Google Books hits 9 existing wikilinks. Unfortunately there's another Jonathan S. Shapiro (http://www.jonathansshapiro.com/) that is probably notable too, or about to be. Mark Hurd (talk) 15:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A quick look at those hits shows many references belonging to other people with the same name; in the case of the Google Books, a couple of essays co-authored by the subject were simply reprinted in multiple publications. A Google News search only turned up a very brief mention in eWeek. Pastor Theo (talk) 15:15, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. A usenet posting and a personal reference page on the subject's university webspace are not very good sources for a biography. The links listed about suffer from problems as well, so unless an editor can find some third-party source of verifiable notability this should go.--Talain (talk) 18:12, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. No reliable sources to establish notability in this auto-BLP. لennavecia 15:42, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Sources dramatically fail to meet the level required to justify a Wikipedia article. DreamGuy (talk) 17:38, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
