Student names in high school articles
Hi. I wanted you to know that I have re-removed the listing of student officers from Cherokee Trail High School. I am not the one who says those students are not notable. Wikipedia has a standard for notability for people. You can find it at WP:BIO. In fact there are probably less than 100 students in the whole United States that would meet the notability policy. Notability requires that reliable sources are writing about a person, and outside of athletes and celebrities, most sources do not write about minors due to privacy concerns. Celebs generally do not attend school. They usually have tutors. High school athletes do not meet notability guidelines. That pretty much just leaves Olympic athletes as students that meet the notability guidelines. I do not recognize any of the names of student officers as falling into that class. If a student does not have a Wikipedia biography, you cannot use their name in a high school article. For full info on what can and can't be in high school articles, please see WP:SCH/AG.

Incidentally, if content is removed from any Wikipedia article and you disagree with the removal, you do not just put it back. Instead you go to the article's talk page and discuss it. This and many other things you will need to know if you want to edit Wikipedia can be found in the list of links above. Welcome and Happy editing! John from Idegon (talk) 00:15, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
