Notable alumni section[edit]

I wondered if a person must have their own Wikipedia article to establish notability before they could be listed in the Notable Alumni section? I noticed the are a few people listed in this section who do not have their own Wikipedia articles and was not sure if they should be removed from this section?

Vandalism[edit]

Apologies for all of this. I am a student here and after word got out that Google declared the principal to be "Daddy Arnold" ka name originating in a mis-speaking on the school news), they've taken to this article since.

I'm not familiar with editing these articles but a lock on editation may be necessary.

That said some of this is kind of funny understanding the jokes, but it certainly doesn't belong on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.8.134.46 (talk) 22:59, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up on the reason - I've put in a request for temporary page protection. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:11, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Geocities blog source-- history[edit]

I found the following text on a blog description of a walking trail in Apopka:

After the first school burned, a four-room two-story wood frame building was erected in 1886-87 by L.G. Silas and painted by H.G. Cronk. It received state accreditation as Apopka High School in 1901. A tornado destroyed it and 24 other buildings on January 12, 1918, and it was replaced by a green brick building for $16,000... The next Apopka High School here was completed in 1925... After the antiquated buildings on Main St. became too crowded, Apopka Memorial High School was opened here in 1950. Later, when the present high school was built on Martin St., this became a junior high and then a middle school.

While it answers some of the confusion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Apopka High School (2nd nomination) about the history of the school, blogs are not RS, and geocities is on the list of sources only appropriate to use if the blog is owned by the subject of the article. Does anyone have suggestions for how to verify the facts listed in this post? — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:31, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A trip to the Apopka library would do it, but that's not so easy. I've been finding some things by searching for "Apopka Memorial" and "Phyllis Wheatley" + Apopka, but I've got to quit for now. It's possible I may get back to it, but I'm not sure. Jacona (talk) 19:33, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Jacona. The one fact I'm most interested in verifying: "It received state accreditation as Apopka High School in 1901." The other main details about the building are already verified by other sources, so maybe not as important to include who built and painted the second building, or the green brick replacement for $16,000? — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:39, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is a reliable sources but it gives useful handles for further research. When the facts given can be verified by independent, reliable in-depth sources it is possible to improve the article. The Banner talk 13:13, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
