Not notable. Every one of the references is essentially a disguised or direct press release. Being cited in a list of "40 under 40" or other list of junior achievers is essentially equal to" not yet notable" DGG ( talk ) 04:48, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete likely unless redirecting to the company seems best as "Phil Shawe TransPerfect" found some links at Books, News, browser and Highbeam but nothing considerably better.

Delete or perhaps Redirect to TransPerfect and do similarly for Liz Elting, the co-founder. (My only input was to stub-sort him shortly after artice creation). PamD 07:35, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the edit history of TransPerfect is interesting, with repeated IP removal of sourced content about a legal spat between the founders. (The last revision restored this, I suspect accidentally, along with matter which had been removed as "promotional fluff".) PamD 07:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion from this gnome editor, but thanks for the ping. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:11, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Too many businesses use Wikipedia as a "Who's Who." I don't think this person is particularly notable. If this article is deleted, the Liz Elting article should be deleted as well. She is Shaw's business partner in Transperfect. Chisme (talk) 21:08, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
