Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Robert M. Hensel

Comments from Robert M. Hensel

 * Hi guys. First off,please let me introduce myself, I am Robert M. Hensel/wheelierecord the creator of this article. Can you guys please hear my side before you consider deleting my information? I'm pretty new at wikipedia and don't really know much of the ins & outs on adding content so if amyone can please help improve on my article that would be so helpful. First off, yes I am trying to promote my accomplishments in hopes of inspiring others to go beyond their limitations such as I have. Please let me quote myself with a bit I wrote pertaining to disabilities: "I Choose not to place "DIS" in my ability." If you would be kind enough to visit my Official site: http://wheelierecord.tripod.com You will see that I have acomplished a great deal in my life and all I am looking for is a chance to share this information with others through the help of wikipedia. To give you few Ref, I am listed on World Atlas under Famous New Yorks, another would be Kids on the Block, which teaches Children in schools all around the world about disabilities using puppets and is also listed here on wikipedia. If you visit their main site you will see that information about my wheelie record has been added to two of the puppets scripts. Other Ref of mine would be a listing on the site Athletes for Hope, which is a foundation that places famous athletes with charities around the country, whichI can also be located in their roster & under the News section with such other athletes as Mahammad Ali,Cal Ripken Jr,Lance Armstrong,Jeff Gordon & many others. One of my newest accomplishments and something that is dear to my heart is having much of my work included in The Museum of disAbility history located in Buffalo, New York and information about them is also on wikipedia as well. Things I have in The Museum of disAbility history are Newspaper articles on things I've done on behalf of those with disabilities, A sign the City of Oswego, New York put up on behalf of my Wheelchair wheelie Guinness/Ripley's World Record,Published poems of mine,Proclaimations for a week I had passed throughout Oswego county called Beyond Limtations Week, which is 7 days to focus on the abilities & talents of those with disabilities. Now please keep in mind that although I have a place in The Museum of disAbility history I am not yet had my items added via their website but am told it may take till next year for the add on. If anyone must question if me being in the Museum is true or not they may go to the website and contact the Museum Curatar Mr. Platt.  I hope Iwas able to give enough information to save my article from deletion. If anyone whould be interested in adding any information of me to better my wikipedia page I can be reaced at wheelierecord@yahoo.com & would be willing to provide anymore needed information on me.
 * found something of interest. Hi, its Robert M. Hensel again, I just did a search on wikipedia and found a young man by the name of Aaron Fotheringham who is a wheelchair stunt performer and was born with Spina bifida as well. Am I not worthy of the same inclusion as he? Please check it out:)

Thanks Robert M. Hensel

 * Comment The whole point is not whether someone is "worthy" but whether they are notable. What shows that is reliable and independent sources. These do seem to exist, but the article we have looks more like a promotional brochure than an encyclopedic biography, so it will need rewriting and sourcing. I suggest you read out conflict of interest policy so that you can understand our concerns and see recommendations on how you can best proceed. For example, it may be best to participate on the Talk page of your article only. --Dhartung | Talk 08:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
