As far as I can tell, this is just some guy that somebody knew in their community. Absolutely does not pass WP:CREATIVE. A lot of the language is biased and speaks on a personal level about Shainblum rather than an overview of any specific accomplishments. A lot of this article talks about art, and yet he's never sold a painting, been in a gallery, nothing. The teaching piece isn't notable either.OsmiumGuard (talk) 15:37, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The article itself basically says he wasn't notable. It is likely that Shainblum would be better known nationally and internationally if his work had been more widely seen during his lifetime. It seems he wasn't even locally well-known, I can't find any references to him outside of some suspect blogs. grungaloo (talk) 00:22, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

•Comment It's worth noting that there's a similar page for one Mark Shainblum that was initially created and maintained by the same exact account. OsmiumGuard (talk) 16:12, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am not finding any RS for the biographical information presented in this article. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:53, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sentences like "His family reports that Shainblum derived great joy from teaching, and he put much more emphasis on pedagogy and his students than he did on promoting his artistic career" make this read like a tribute written by a family member or a former student. It sounds like they were well-loved by students and family, but there are not sources to show they meet the WP:CREATIVE guidelines for encyclopedia articles, like having "been a substantial part of a significant exhibition" or "won significant critical attention."

• Delete Sources could be secondary but not exactly reliable. Per Elspea756, content of them is not persuasive either. 🍪 CookieMonster 15:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
