Hi!
and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here. There's just a couple of problems I can see. There is one thing I must ask you, however. It's about the origin of the text in Leonard richmond wheeler. Has it been published anywhere else before here? If it hasn't, then everything is OK on the copyright front. If it has, there's a problem. Wikipedia cannot accept copyright text unless the copyright is released under some things that are explained better than I can do at WP:COPYVIO. (In short, the owner of the copyright sends an email to somewhere mentioned there allowing it to be used, and acknowledging that they realise that the text may be used anywhere.) The other problem is referencing, Wikipedia needs things to be referenced. You must have sources apart from the stuff that was found - not all of this would be there. We would need to know sources for at least some of the major claims to notability. Don't be afraid to ask if you're not sure. I'm an ex ACSL (declaring a conflict of interest), but any admin would help with explaining the copyright thing and sources. Peridon (talk) 20:55, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Leonard richmond wheeler


The article Leonard richmond wheeler has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * The only possible claim of notability that I see is the Silver Wolf for Scouting. No references given and articles reads like an essay.  Would take a fundamental rewrite and several sources to verify the information presented even if the Silver Wolf implies notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
