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{^screech_harrass} 23:36, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
