Mark Hatfield edit

His lodge info is not indicated in the source you added. Also, why on earth is he on PoliticalGraveyard if he's still alive according to them? MSJapan (talk) 18:05, 9 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Notability has very little to do with it - if the person meets GNG, then they're notable. That's why criterion number one is that the person have a WP article. The requirement to get on the list after that is proof of membership. That proof has to come from a reliable source, and without that, it's no go. Otherwise we would have every person who anybody thought was a Mason on the list. We also don't do appendant/concordants as proof, because for example, Ronald Reagan was made an honorary Shriner, but he was never a Mason. Bill Clinton was DeMolay, but never joined Masonry.

I've added him as I think you've provided sufficient information. If someone disagrees with me, though, they will revert the edit and explain the reasons why. kcylsnavS{screechharrass} 23:36, 8 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
