copy editing flag
The "needs copyediting" flag at the top is what brought me to this article. I read over it, don't really see any glaring errors related to spelling, grammar, tone. Can another pair of eyes look over it? --Eatthecrow (talk) 19:26, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Content update request for page
Eldroc482 (talk) 23:54, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Specific text to be added or removed: Add the following to "Notable Alum" section: Lonnie T. Brown, Jr. Dean of Tennessee law school.
 * Reason for the change: He became dean of a law school.
 * References supporting change: https://news.utk.edu/2022/01/19/lonnie-t-brown-jr-named-dean-of-college-of-law/
 * Not done. Per WP:NACADEMIC criterion 6 and the specific criteria notes that follow, appointees to academic administrative posts less than e.g. president or chancellor, such as dean, generally are not sufficient to qualify a person as notable for Wikipedia purposes.  I did a quick Google news search and didn't see any other major news about Brown or obvious reason he would qualify as notable, so for now I'm not making the change.  If you offer reliable sources showing Brown's notability, I think another edit request (or just responding to this one and removing the "|answered=yes" parameter from the edit request template) would be appropriate.
