Hello. Your recent edit to Bowdoin College 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. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 02:53, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

I added Rinker Buck as a 1973 graduate of Bowdoin College to the Bowdoin College notable alumni section & Rinker Buck has his own article on Wikipedia & therefore qualifies to be listed under notable alumni in addition to being an award winning journalist & best selling author Daniel R.

 * Bowdoin isn't mentioned in his article, though, so the claim is unsourced. —C.Fred (talk) 03:21, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

The Rinker Buck Wikipedia article includes the below info:

career	Edit

Buck began his career in journalism shortly after graduating from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. His first job was writing for the Berkshire Eagle in 1973. He then served as reporter for New York, Life, Hartford Courant, Adweek and several other national publications.[1]

So the Bowdoin College alumnus listing for Rinker Buck is a claim that is sourced in the Rinker Buck article. If you want an additional reference in his 2015 best seller, "The Oregon Trail,". Buck says on page 356 he graduated from Bowdoin in 1973. Daniel R. Kirkpatrick (talk) 04:14, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
