Your delete very request action isn't working because it is not sufficiently explicit.
In general when you experience FileMaker applescripting problems, be sure to be explicit and complete.
For a find operation you may need to explicitly address a particular window and layout because many database may be open and any database may have multiple windows open.
This works for me:
tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
set w to "FastVariables - 2"
set L to "WikiGeo"
activate
show window w
go to layout L of window w
try
delete every request of window w
end try
set MyRequest to create new request
set cell "ArticleName" of MyRequest to "House"
find of window w
end tell
