re: edit to Providence Catholic High School
Hellooooo Bcmatt1502!

I just recently reverted an edit that you made on this article, and wanted to explain why I did that.

In general, alumni added to a school article must meet general notability requirements for wikipedia, which is to say that the person must generally be eligible for an article, or already have an article about them on the encyclopedia.

The policy which covers the notability of athletes states that athletes usually must reach the highest level of competition available to them in order to qualify for notability (with exceptions for athletes like MVP of the basketball final four, a number one overall draft pick from college, a holder of a major collegiate record, etc). If this athlete should be activated to play with the major league team, then he would achieve the minimum threshold for notability, and should be readded with a reliable source as a reference.

Best of luck in your editing! LonelyBeacon (talk) 02:03, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
