Mason Stahl
No obvious notability. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 15:19, 28 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Vote closed: Result: delete (3 delete, 1 keep, no verifiable evidence and only non-subjective evidence provided is "featured in PBS documentary" which I'm not sure establishes enough notability) ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 07:25, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence of notability provided. ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 15:19, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep MosheZadka first let me thank you for your contibutions to wikiquote and your fastidious attention to the material that is presented here. I am voting to keep because I am aware of the significance of Mason Stahl.  Mr. Stahl is a well known lawyer and rapper in the Boston area.  His has been featured in a PBS documentary about his unique blend of law and hip-hop.  Since he has been featured in a documentary produced by a reputable source I am voting to keep.Muzakman 16:18, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your kind words. Can you give links to any of the stuff you mention, for independent verification? If he's a "well known rapper", has he produced any CDs? A link to amazon, or indeed giving the ISBN (some CDs have them) or anything like that would be nice. Regarding that PBS documentary, can you give a link to the schedule of that documentary? Has he been featured in any Boston newspapers? Again, specific dates and articles (and links, if they're online) would do a world of good here. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 17:55, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless evidence of notability provided. Stahl has little or no presence on Wikipedia (even mentions in May 4 and List of hip hop musicians were apparently removed). All-Music Guide doesn't list him. On Google, besides cached versions of WP and the current WQ page, I didn't spot him on the first few pages, where I even found mention of a high school student of that name. This strongly suggests he's at most a local phenomenon. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:06, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I too can find no information about this person other than what has been cited above. Unless proof of his notability is produced, I vote to delete this page.UDScott 19:09, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
