Your inclusion at the Glenelg High School article
Regarding your request to be included in the Notable alumni section of the Glenelg High School article: Google's search servers and/or my ISP's routing tables are acting up, so I cannot do a Google search for your name. However, if you can provide some sources, feel free to list them at the article's talk page, and we'll consider inclusion from there. —C.Fred (talk) 23:46, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * First, simply having been a student at the school is not a criterion for notability. You have to have accomplished something after school.
 * Second, it needs to be backed up by reliable sources. Unless major newspapers have written about it, it doesn't meet Wikipedia's criteria for verifiability.
 * Finally, there is an inherent conflict of interest in adding information about oneself to an article.


 * There was an uncivil message here, left by an anonymous user. User:Angela did the courtesy of deleting the message. He then left her an uncivil message. That user has probably moved on, but I did leave a strong warning on the IP address's talk page that personal attacks are not tolerated on Wikipedia. —C.Fred (talk) 16:41, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
