[edit]

Information icon Hello. Your recent edit to Broomfield High School appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. There is nothing inherently notable about being a associate professor. There is something inherently notable about being a federal judge. This is per our guidelines and has nothing whatsoever to do with either your opinion or mine. John from Idegon (talk) 02:49, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Broomfield High School.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. When someone reverts a new addition to an article, do not just put it back. That is called edit warring and can lead to your editing privileges being suspended. As the message above indicates, being included in a notable alumni list generally requires that the person being listed have a biography on Wikipedia to show they are notable. Notability on Wikipedia probably does not equate with your definition of the term. Here it means the subject has been written about in detail in multiple reliable sources, totally independent of the subject. Obviously, one reference from the person's employer does not satisfy that requirement. The best course would be to write the biography first, then link to it.
