Notable longhunters
In general, a person or organization added to a list, as on Longhunter, should have a pre-existing article to establish notability. If you wish to create such an article, please confirm that your subject is notable according to Wikipedia's notability policy. Thank you. ''Welcome to Wikipedia. I deleted your entry on the "notable longhunters" list because lists like that one should be limited to people who have articles in Wikipedia or are clearly notable according to guidelines here (see WP:Notability). Since the list in that article is essentially a list of examples to help people learn more about longhunters, there's no particular value in listing people who don't have articles. William Ryburn might indeed be notable, but before he goes on that list, there needs to be an article about him. Alternatively, there might be reason to insert information about him in the text of an existing article about longhunters or a related topic. Thank you for starting to contribute; please don't let this discourage you from continuing. '' Orlady (talk) 20:07, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
