Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leslie R. Mitchell
I get it - this guy was a great scout and awarded their highest honour and a great amateur radio enthusiast, but can you provide references that pass the criteria in ? The references provided by Evet are clubs or blogs for amateur radio and the others in the article are from the scouting movement. People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in '''multiple''' published secondary sources that are reliable, '''intellectually independent of each other and independent of the subject'''? The references provided to date fail this test or fail the criteria in . You say that he was awarded the Bronze Wolf Award but this is awarded by the scouts so its still a circular reference. That's a bit like expecting every IBM Fellow to have their own article for example - it may be prestigious and difficult to get but its still not really an "external" award and does not imply that the person is notable and merits an article
