Someone named TeaDrinker removed on April 1 2007 several individuals from the "Notable" section, apparently because they were "red-inked".
Just because they don't (yet) have a Wikipedia entry, does that make them "non-notable"?
These were all published authors; RA Long has so few published authors despite its 80-year history that these graduates are all notable for RA Long HS.
Especially EJ Taylor, whose series of children's books are not only well-known but also critically acclaimed. Just not on Wikipedia, apparently...
Besides, isn't there supposed to be some kind of discussion before entries are removed?
Or is this just some ludicrous April Fool prank?

Thanks for the clarification, TeaDrinker (and thanks also for the warm welcome to the Wikipedia community).
I guess several of my candidates for "notable" apparently MAY not meet the guidelines. Yet.
But what would you accept as sources to indicate that these individuals attended RA Long? Aside from the fact that I know them personally and can verify that they attended (those from the class of 1963 anyway).
There was, BTW, a Daily News article on Darrel Bob Houston that identified him as an RA Long grad when DB: King of the Midnight Blue was published.

I recently updated the infobox with the name of the new principal, Rich Reeves ( http://www.tdn.com/articles/2009/06/02/area_news/doc4a24c1398f288636190236.txt), and the paragraph concerning the graduation tradition of seniors handing of a small token to the principal. However, these edits were reverted for some reason. The information is accurate. Any reason the edits were reverted? 71.59.191.66 ( talk) 03:29, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
