Notable alumni listing
editPlease note that there are requirements for who can be in a notable people or notable alumni section on a school article (or a city article also). In order for a person to be in a notable's section, the entry must have either:
- A wikilink to the Wikipedia biography of the person you are entering. A link to the person's company or band or any other group they may be a part of is not sufficient. Neither is a link to a disambiguation page. (That is a page that lists several people with the same name. If I found the person you were trying to list on a disambiguation page, I would just fix the wikilink for you, but in the case at hand, the person is just named on the page without a link...meaning that there is no article on him.) Also, the person's Wikipedia biography must have a referenced tie to the school. If it does not, you must provide a reliable reference to show that tie.
- If a person does not have a pre-existing Wikipedia biography, you may still list them, providing that;
- you show references from reliable, independent sources that they meet the Wikipedia notability standard for biographies and
- you reference a tie to the school.

- We could have very simply discussed this here, but since edit-warring was the choice made, the page is now protected so only auto-confirmed editors may edit it. If any of the IP's (or the one, as the case may be) wishes to discuss how we might get the guy from goodwill on the page, I will be more than happy to help. Happy editing!

On a related note, could John from Idegon (talk · contribs) and Ahommell (talk · contribs) stop edit warring and pop in here to explain exactly what the issue is with the sources in this diff? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:11, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello folks, Ahommell (talk · contribs) here. I would like to ask what the issue with the sources are. I used sources from the Indiana Business Journal as well as an alumni magazine put out by Roncalli High School. As far as the claim on the Blue ribbon school of excellence - This is sourced from a listing with the United State Department of Education's Blue Ribbon program. Should there be another location to source this information? I am a new editor, and I do in good faith, want to help to edit this page. I don't want to step on anyone's toes. I apologize if I have done so. John from Idegon (talk · contribs)
- Looking at it, I see that Jimmy Matis has been cited to the IBJ, which as far as I can tell is a reliable source in as much they are a typical regional newspaper that exercises reasonable editorial control over what they print and can be trusted as being reasonably accurate, and the source explicitly mentions him as a graduate of Roncalli, and its not the main focus of the piece (which implies he could be notable for other things - in this case, his radio career). So I think the entry can stay (aside from the fact you've added one source twice). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:50, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- Again - I apologize if I have stepped on any toes. Just spent a few reading about edit warring and other newbie stuff. I'm all for learning. Ahommell (talk · contribs)
- No problems. We were all new once and nobody can be expected to memorise policy - it takes a bit of experience in this areas, so you'll usually get some slack unless you start mouthing off (which you aren't!) Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:24, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
