Hello. Your recent edit to Solent University 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.

 * 'In general a person...' according to whom? Suurely the University has the right to make this decision, not you. This apparent 'standard' is certainly not compliant over all pages and is thus an arbitrary rule. In addition, the pages of those individuals currently 'noted' are mostly extremely 'thin' and appear to have been self-generated; they appear not to contrubute to any specefic body of knowledge or understanding.

 * This is English Wikipedia, and English Wikipedia decides what qualifies for inclusion. English Wikipedia has guidelines for when a person can be considered notable, and guidelines for when people should be included in lists of notable alumni. The pages do not belong to the schools in question, and they do not get to determine content. Meters (talk) 06:49, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Lincoln Castle Academy. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. ''Stop spamming mentions of this person into articles. See WP:WTAF. See WP:BRD. See WP:MINOR'' Meters (talk) 06:44, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * As a notable alumni of Lincoln Castle Academy (far more so than almost all those currently listed) I have the right to present my details on that page. I am not sure which dictionary you subscribe to but such additions to the body of knowledge bear no connection to the act of 'disruption' - you appear to be the one being disruptive, and I request that you cease and desist such actions. If the page overseers (Lincoln Castle Academy) wish, after due overvaluation, to remove my page then that is their business, not yours. DrWoollock (talk) 06:51, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No, you do not have the right to mention yourself in Wikipedia's articles, and the various schools do not own the content in Wikipedia's articles and have no say over the content. If the schools have their own pages that mention you, well, that's up to them and is irrelevant to this discussion. Meters (talk) 07:11, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * And in reference to my previous pointer to WP:WTAF, since we are discussing your notability, you should not write an article about yourself as you have a conflict of interest in the subject. See WP:AUTOBIO Meters (talk) 07:15, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
