A few pieces of advice on editing
Hello, and welcome to editing Wikipedia. Here are a few comments which I hope may be helpful to you.
 * It does not look to me as though Henry Scott satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If he doesn't, then no article about him, no matter how written, will be suitable for Wikipedia. I am letting you know this so that you don't put a lot of time and effort into something which is never likely to be accepted.
 * I see you have created two copies of the same page. That is not a good idea, for various reasons, such as that it makes it difficult to keep track of changes to the pages. I shall therefore delete User:Ccapontes/sandbox/Henry Scott, leaving Draft:Henry Scott.
 * Obviously I don't know why you have decided to create a Wikipedia article about a politician, but if you are doing it to promote or publicise him, you should be aware that promotional editing is not permitted by Wikipedia policy.
 * My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.
