[edit] 28th Glasgow (Giffnock) Scout Troop
I'm sorry, but this article is completely lacking in any kind of notability. It does not meet WP:NOTE or WP:V. Have you seen Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting. The consensus there (and elsewhere on Wikipedia) is that individual Groups or Troops are not generally notable and anything that is should be added to an article on the Area - in this case Scouting in Greater Glasgow. You have written both this Troop article and one on the Group - 28th Glasgow (Giffnock) Scout Group. Sorry, but these will not survive. Someone will put them into one of the deletion processes before too long. I suggest first that you trim the Troop article right down and add that to the Group article and make the Troop article a redirect to the Group article. I see that User:Jergen tried to do this, but you reverted him. The Group article has a merge tag. That merge makes sense too but it can be debated. The age of the Group might make it notable, but it is not the oldest and you have no sources that say it is notable in any way. If you are new to Wikipedia, this is a bad way to start. I'm sorry, but "do'nt shoot the messenger". I'm just telling you how it is. --Bduke 06:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- I replied on my talk page. I do not like this ping pong from one user page to another. Keep the debate in one place is my motto. --Bduke 10:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Rocksteadylogo.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Rocksteadylogo.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 17:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
