Hello. Your recent edit to Leominster, Massachusetts ‎ 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.

 * It's not clear to me that your books qualify as reliable sources. Please read WP:VANPRED and WP:SELFPUB. Meters (talk) 04:22, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

The basketball biographies are the only authorized ones on their subjects. They were written with the subject and have been extensively quoted in other non-self published books. MarkBod (talk) 05:29, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Again, it's not clear to me that your self-published books are reliable sources. Meters (talk) 05:39, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Lou Little, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. No, restoring it as a completely unsourced claim that contradicts the existing sources is not appropriate either. Meters (talk) 05:41, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Did you read the above links? Are you "an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications"? If you can demonstrate that we might be able to use your books as references. Or you can reference the sources that you used when writing your books. And whatever you do, don't change the data and still leave the contradictory sources in the article, as you did. Meters (talk) 05:48, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Your information for Lou Little’s birthdate, place and name is not properly sourced. The primary record is City of Boston, Birth Registrations, December 6, 1891 #8583 MarkBod (talk) 12:05, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Can my subject matter expertise be established by published newspaper columns, television and radio appearances and lectures ? MarkBod (talk) 20:18, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
