Thanks for creating List of Editors-in-Chief of Palatinate, Pinnel's Court!

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

I redirected your list back to Palatinate (newspaper), as there is no indication the list of editors has any significance outside of the newspaper itself. See WP:SAL and WP:NOTDIRECTORY for more info.

Learn more about page curation.

I see you've restored the list. Please see Wikipedia:Notability, which explains widely-established guidelines for how to determine what merits a stand-alone article, and Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists, for list-specific notability criteria. Importantly, articles need to comply with Verifiability, Neutrality, and No original research, and rather than being a repository for all information in the universe, there are many things for which Wikipedia is not! In this case, a list of editors of a school paper appears to be of interest primarily to people affiliated with the paper. Notability does not come from any wikipedian's opinion of a subject, but from the quantity and quality of reliable, secondary sources about the subject. Are many of the editors otherwise noteworthy or is this just name-checking? Is editorship of this paper a commonly-mentioned honor in the biographies of persons holding it? Has the collective body of editors itself been the subject of third-party coverage, rather than the apparently few individuals with Wikipedia articles? If not, and if the information has actual educational use, perhaps it is better off at Palatinate (newspaper) than totally removed, but note that verfiability does does not guarantee inclusion in any article. In short, if you want List of Editors-in-Chief of Palatinate to remain a separate article, you're going to need to find and cite independent sources that establish the editors are worth listing in the first place.
