Hello. Your recent edit to Plumstead Manor 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. ''Notable alumni need reliable sources confirming they attended the school. Bands do not attend school so they are not alumni. Members who are alumni need a separate article to be considered notable.'' Gab4gab (talk) 15:39, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Er yeah, but both members of the band went to the school, and neither is notable in their own right (as is the case in the vast majority of bands). So I guess, under your definition, no alumni who was in a famous band, is notable? Ridiculous. I note that you provide no reference for your statement "Notable alumni need reliable sources confirming they attended the school. Bands do not attend school so they are not alumni. Members who are alumni need a separate article to be considered notable." -- this statement is not in the Notability article you cite, and it sounds very much like you just made it up. Anyway, whatever, do as you please... tbh, this is the reason I edit anonymously. 31.54.39.222 (talk) 21:43, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * All content in Wikipedia should be based on published sources. References are what allows readers to verify that the content isn't just whatever an anonymous made up. Guidance on school article content can be found at [] Members of bands can be notable although often they are not.  See the note at the bottom of WP:BAND. Gab4gab (talk) 21:59, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
