No evidence of any notability. Even those that he manages have only a tenuous grip on notability and, for him, notability is not inherited. The only reference is not about him at all. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   21:59, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep Although they aren't in the article, there are other references on Shapovalov that spend a bit more time on him. Here is a book that mentions his role a few times. He is quite prominent in this NYT piece. Here's one in the Moscow Times, not sure if they are reliable or not. Here's another one in the Irish Times. Here's a piece from Spiegel Online. And one from the Chicago Tribune. And here's another one I'm not sure about from NME. Looks like he may have significant reliable source coverage; while the pieces I linked are primarily about tATu, they do discuss Shapovalov in some depth.
