July 2020
Hello. Your recent edit to Abbeville, Alabama 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. The non-notable addition has been removed. Either write the article first or provide reliable sources for verifiability per WP:SOURCELIST and to demonstrate that the person meets the inclusion requirements per WP:LISTPEOPLE. A person is typically included in a list of people only if all the following requirements are met: (1) The person meets the Wikipedia notability requirement; and (2) The person's membership in the list's group is established by reliable sources.

Direct, reliable sources needed for Days of the Year pages
You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct reliable sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Almost all new additions without references are now being reverted on-sight.
Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.
Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 21:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
