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 . I went on Google, things are a bit complicated because there's a football player by the same name. Name gets 631 ghits (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, and "'Shawn Wells' music" gets 450 . Probably the most credible-looking article I've found about the guy is this: . 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)
