This article lacks independent sources, and the first two pages of Google hits provide only more of the same kind of thing it currently has: artist-provided bios, directories and listings. Created by a likely PR account. Guy (help!) 17:16, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Soft Keep Keep. This is what I've found on him. The mentions, however, are not significant in terms of Wikipedia. But I think it's enough to keep it. Maybe there are more I couldn't find. PS. Changed to keep after studying the subject more precise and adding refs to the article. Less Unless (talk) 20:48, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep the links work in the article including reviews of his performances in The Guardian and The New York Times and other coverage in The New Yorker and German newspapers so he seems to be notable at an international level and deserves to be included, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:12, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per above; enough coverage to satisfy the WP:GNG. But also - and not that this is an argument to keep this article - Shetler accompanied such renowned musicians as Fischer-Dieskau, Schreier, Rothenberger, Milstein, etc. Zingarese talk  ·  contribs  15:52, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
