The article currently has five references:

  1. 1 is a news article from the time.
  2. 2 is a blog.
  3. 3 is about Awakenings, a related case referenced in the lead, but with no coverage of Shapiro.
  4. 4 is a video of unclear relation
  5. 5 appears to be a transcript or description of a church service or similar.

A BEFORE search shows other articles that mention Shapiro and the record in passing e.g. [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/mar/09/usa.richardluscombe The Guardian], but never expands on Shapiro's life in detail. The movie Forever Life (1998 film) does appear to have been inspired by Shapiro, but I am not convinced it is notable itself, let alone that notability is inherited to Shapiro.

Overall, this is at best BLP1E for news coverage at the time Shapiro woke up, but does not meet GNG. — Bilorv (talk) 14:53, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete. As mentioned by rsjaffe, she's already listed in List of people who awoke from a coma, and I think that's enough. PKT(alk) 18:14, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Redirect to List of people who awoke from a coma as noted above. This is one person who is known by a very unfortunate single event, and while a movie was made based on this, I don't think that makes the person more notable. If she really was the "longest a person has been in a coma like state and woken up", then that may imply some degree of unusual notability, but the sourcing doesn't seem to support this or detail their life sufficiently that BLP1E becomes irrelevant.
