=re: edits to List of New Trier High School alumni== Greetings Sgreenspon!

I recently reverted your edit to this article, and wanted to explain why.

All alumni which are listed in such an article must meet the notability guidelines to be listed in school related articles. This is outlined at WP:WPSCHOOLS/AL. More specific details for people can be found at WP:BIO. In general, people must either be the subject of an article on wikipedia, or eligible to have an article. Given that the person you added did not have an article, and that person's claim to notability was in an association with a non-notable company.

Further, your account name hints at a conflict of interest. While this does not absolutely exclude this edit, it places a greater burden of evidence on you to provide referencing to confirm not only alumniship, but to confirm that the person in fact meets notability guidelines. Since there were no references or citations given, and there was no assertion of notability, this person had to be deleted.

Rather than delete and walk away, I wanted to explain to you why this person was deleted. LonelyBeacon (talk) 07:17, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
