Your recent edit to Okemos High School 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.

Notable people
Notability, on Wikipedia, has a specific meaning. Notability is the name of our standard of inclusion. Unless a person qualifies to have an article on Wikipedia, they are not, for our purposes deemed notable. Generally, college level athletes are not notable. There are some exceptions, but since notability is based on coverage in independent reliable sources such as books, magazines and newspapers, those exceptions are usually either Olympians or play one of the "big 2" sports.
