This is being posted on your talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes ( ~ ) or by pressing or  in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

Hello. Your recent edit 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.

 * Let me unpack this a bit further for you. To be in a notable alumni list, a person has to have a Wikipeda article on them specifically, and there must be referenced content in that article tying them to the school.
 * Further, your subheadings added to the list violated our Manual of style. Subheadings are generally discouraged, although in very long lists, sometimes broad catagories are subheaded. Using acronyms for various sports leagues is never going to be appropriate for a subheading. First, every acronym you use here should be written out (or at least wikilinked) the first time you use it. The length taken by spelling them out would be clunky, and wikilinks are prohibited in headers. Remember Wikipeda is read worldwide and most people in other countries are not familiar with the intricacies of our popular culture, any more than you'd be familiar with the intricacies of cricket leagues in Sri Lanka. Best of luck in the future, which will be much easier for you here if you peruse the template I left at the top of the page and use the link that follows this when you need help or are unclear on anything.
