re: West Aurora High School and Wendell Minor[edit]

I saw that you re-added Wendell Minor. I hope you saw my reasoning for removing him initially, as he did not appear to meet notability. I grant you that he might meet notability, and as far as I'm personally concerned, that's fine (I can't speak for anyone else that might come along). However, the reference that you put in does not confirm he was an alum. There really does need to be a reference authenticating he attended the school. I left your ref in place, and added a fact tag with a note explaining why the fact tag is there in the presence of another ref. LonelyBeacon (talk) 03:19, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
