Your recent edit to List of New Trier High School alumni 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.

 * When adding this template to an article, it should also have a bar after the name of the template, before the parameters, which I have bolded in this example based on the one you were trying to add: {{Cite journal | last = Gross| first = Robert| title = 'Kid Seats and Ambulances'| journal =Journal of Emergency Medical Services| volume = 11| issue = 3| pages = 34-38| date = March 1986&#125;} —PC-XT+ 03:42, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
