 * Evarose, allow me to add my voice to the throng; what you have here is a polemic essay, not a factual, neutral article.  Polemics are not permitted on Wikipedia, any more than in any other reputable encyclopedia.  You are, I believe, operating off of a premise often shared by newcomers to Wikipedia - that there must be some way, if we'd only help you navigate it, for your advocacy piece to pass muster.There isn't.  Take your Bruce Clark proposal for an example.  If you have the reliable sources to do so - an unpublished master's thesis doesn't remotely count - you can certainly write an article about Clark as a notable lawyer and activist on behalf of First Nations peoples, including such details as the notorious cases in which he was involved, his prison sentence and disbarment.  You cannot cast him as a noble crusader for downtrodden peoples, who proved to be the victim of smear and dirty tricks campaigns, driven into exile by a corrupt government.  As long as you are determined to write advocacy pieces, instead of neutral statements of verifiable fact backed by reliable, independent, third-party sources, then they will be subject to prompt deletion.No one is telling you, of course, that you can't write advocacy pieces.  We're just telling you that such pieces have no place on Wikipedia, and that you must seek other venues for their publication.  "
