Hello. Your recent edit to CR 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. Thank you. - Co rb ie V    ☊ ☼ 22:30, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Inappropriate Entry???
This afternoon I tried to look up the abbreviation "CR" but wasnt found in Wikipedia. Since this term is very common (and even necessary) in the building trades I thought to try and add it to the existing list as a service to others. Cant be that hard to do! So I searched around for the best and most informative definition on a public site where there shouldnt be any copyright infringement and I made the entry without too much trouble. Sadly I Immediately received a warning that I had entered a non-notable entry. I read that notice, and all of the supporting links, at least two or three times and I am still at a loss to understand how a term that is so common and ubiquitous in the North American Building Industry could possibly be considered "non-notable". The supporting material didnt shed much light on the topic so can someone please explain to me why this has happened?

At the least this experience is a major disincentive to my making further additions to Wikipedia and I would like very much to understand it further.
