User talk:Dbecherer

Hello. Your recent edit to John H. Guyer High 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 or organization 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. University athletes are not normally notable. Adding one with a source that does not even mention him is even worse. Doing so for someone whose name appears to be the same as your username makes it look like your are trying to add yourself and are using a bogus source to lessen the likelihood that your entry will immediately be removed.

 * Meters, I attended John H. Guyer High School I know what I am doing when I edit said article. You need to mind your own business. The people I added to certain list are notable for the area. One of them being related to me. Stay in your lane. Dbecherer (talk) 23:00, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I suggest that you read WP:OWN. Whether you attended the school, whether you are related to one of the alumni, or whether they are locally notable is irrelevant. What matters is whether the alumni are notable by Wikipedia's standards, and whether the information is properly sourced. I removed the two alumni that appeared not to be notable. We don't include alumni unless they are notable enough to have their own wikipedia articles (or in a few cases to obviously qualify for an article). If you think they are notable then by all means write articles about them. I don't suggest that you try writing an article about Daniel Becherer unless you have something much better than that one source about someone else. If Becherer was mentioned in that source at all it must have been just in passing because I didn't see it. You should read WP:BIO and WP:ALUMNI too. Meters (talk) 23:33, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
