Hello. Your recent edit to The Northwest Academy 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.

 * Hello. Thanks for your feedback. In this case, I'm not sure that the subject of my edit would meet the "criteria for notability" sufficiently to merit a stand-alone article/page on Wikipedia. Nonetheless, I would appeal for a special exemption to the strict notability guidelines for the following reason: in the context of the history and nature of the relatively new school (founded 1997) named by the article, "Notable Graduates and former students" will necessarily constitute a short, young list--i.e., even the earliest-graduating candidates are still in relatively early stages of their careers; in this light, the extent and variety of the subject of my entry's accomplishments--hence, his "notability" as a graduate of the school under the heading of which he is being cited--may be verified by examining the bona fide source referred to at the end of the entry--i.e., the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB).
 * A stand-alone Wikipedia page for this young actor may NOT find sufficient merit for "notability" in the great world of such implied headings or search-criteria as "Acting, History of" or "Professional Actors, Greatest Ever"; but under the topic of "Relatively Young School, Graduates or Former Students Notable for Their Professional Accomplishments Early in Life," this entry carries sufficient merit for inclusion under the rubric of the school. If need be, I will very well add links to several reviews, interviews and other critical notices treating the subject's burgeoning career, in order to enhance the factual impression of his notability as a graduate of the school, available at a glance to anyone consulting the school's page. Thank you. Metaphormixmaster (talk)
 * IMBD is a user generated source. It is not a reliable source to show notability. See WP:RS and read the links I provided on notability. We don't grant exemptions to the notability rules just because people are young (or because schools are new and hence all their graduates are young). Meters (talk) 23:25, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
