[edit] Shawn Wells

Non-notable rapper, appears to fail WP:MUSIC; probably a hoax. Google shows 9 hits for "Shawn Wells" Wordsworth, 3 hits for "Shawn Wells" "Masta Ace" (none of the hits in the second case link to a page with both names together), and 0 hits for "Shawn Wells" "Fantastic 4" (the article said he acted in that movie). Unlike the usual article that fails WP:MUSIC, this one goes one step further and omits even a MySpace link, making it absolutely unverifiable. Kimchi.sg 00:11, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Noting that 24.207's post was removed [1]. I went on Google, things are a bit complicated because there's a football player by the same name. Name gets 631 ghits [2] (of which his Myspace is the top hit, so he does have some claim to the name, it would seem). "'Shawn wells' hip-hop" gets 150 hits [3], and "'Shawn Wells' music" gets 450 [4]. Probably the most credible-looking article I've found about the guy is this: [5]. Definitely not a hoax, though I'm leaning agianst it meeting WP:BIO. Regards, Luna Santin 23:55, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. Subject is not in credits of either "Fantastic 4" or "White Chicks". Mr. Wells may or may not exist, but the article is a hoax, and at least a violation of WP:V. Tychocat 14:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
