[edit] Robert Owen Scott, Jr

This article has been around for a while now. Note that this is not Robert Owens Scott, the Shakespeare translator. The article states that this Scott founded the Church of Wicca. The notable institution of that name was actually founded by Gavin and Yvonne Frost. "The World Council of Witches" gets 0 Google hits [1]. I cannot find any of his books on Amazon.com, and, because of their titles, Google is not helpful. The one reference for the article does not inspire faith in me, nor does the creator's contribution history. I will mention this deletion on the Talk page at Wicca, in the hopes of additional input.

• Delete: I have never heard of this man before, and his prime contribution to society seems to be his "Wizard's Gay Slang Dictionary", which hardly makes one notable. The Church and School of Wicca was founded by the Frosts, so he certainly is not involved with that. Basically, unless someone can prove notability, I'd go for deletion. -- CABHAN TALK CONTRIBS 04:20, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: per Jkelly's comments. I agree 100%. --P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 07:45, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable. Stifle 00:17, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep. In defense of the article, according to the page linked as a reference (apparently a list of "famous gay people"), this guy founded the "Church of Wicca" in Washington state in 1992-- apparently not intended to be a claim that he founded the original Church of Wicca.
