February 2018[edit]

Hello. Your recent edit to Corona del Sol 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, organization or product 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. Thank you.

Adding this person back to the list after being cautioned not to is like driving fast--twice--through Estelline, Texas. Magnolia677 (talk) 01:52, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

USer:Magnolia677 I see the user has written a draft article about this alumnus. If the article is approved then the alumnus can be added to the school article. As the draft currently stands I don't know if it will be accepted. The high school team he was coaching won four successive State championships and he was chosen as coach of the year by MaxPreps. That may just be enough, but the sourcing will need improvement. Meters (talk) 03:02, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
