Comments: Private – One or more of the filters triggered are private, and the request needs to be evaluated by an edit filter helper or manager. (automated comment) — MajavahBot (talk · contributions) 22:38, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]; Done and a change to the filter may be needed. I don't think RfD is a intended target of 1273.

This type of false positive happens quite often. @Ohnoitsjamie: can this be optimized? Nobody (talk) 14:30, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]; @1AmNobody24: I added some exclusions that should fix that FP as well as a few others. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:45, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description: Jessica Steinrock (formerly Shyrock) went to my high school, Grayslake North. She already has a Wikipedia page (here: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Jessica_Steinrock) so I am just linking it under notable alumni for GNHS. Thanks!

Comments: Consider requesting on the article's talk page; please provide the necessary references. The notability part is there, but her article doesn't make any mention of the high school. It would be good to have a reliable source supporting it in her article so she can be added to the list. – Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
