Overly
promotional lovefest for unsuccessful
politician. Ran in the Democratic primaries 2012 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, being beaten by the incumbent. This hagiography has a
bombarded of sources but they are for the most part no good for notability. Most of the sources covering the election are about the election itself, not Scala. The often do not mention him or only do so in passing. There are no independent reliable sources that cover him in any depth. Article also has a large section on his hip hop career but the sources there are similarly no good. Shops, blogs, passing mentions, his own site, no mention of him, dead, primary, about his band.
This is a deceptively sourced bloated puff piece that needs to be deleted.

Keep - This is an article mainly about a musician, not a politician. He's released multiple notable albums, performed at notable locations with notable musicians, and the article has plenty of references and sources. I agree the article is written very promotionally, but that can be fixed without deleting the article.

Has plenty of sources but are any good? What notable albums? Notability is not inherited from those he worked with. Article has two parts. musician and politician. Only the politician part has independent reliable sources so that's the part I went lead on.

Delete non-notable as a politician, a lawyer or a musician.

Delete and draft userfy as the listed sources are not yet currently convincing for a better article.
