Delete: Does not meet WP:GNG. The article (and the sole reference) seems mostly to want to promote the subject's technology. I did not find any coverage on Dr Shapiro except for directory entries. ubiquity (talk) 20:59, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As above, fails WP:GNG, no sources to show actual notability, only to promote his technology. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:30, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Promotional. (My band (no article on Wikipedia) used to have a practice space next to the offices of a "Dr. Ronald Shapiro" who would come complain about the noise. We dedicated our album to him.) It's a bad sign that the article is named "Dr."; that indicates already that we're looking at a commercial entity rather than a biography, and the article text confirms this.

Delete. If there were evidence of notability, we could clean up the promotional material, but he doesn't seem to pass WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:29, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
