Miss Porter s School Hey there while there is no guideline in Wikipedia requiring examples in lists to be notable as defined by Wikipedia standard practice throughout the encyclopedia these days is to avoid non notable subjects in lists At one time it was useful to allow non notable items in lists as an indicator as to what articles needed to be written but these days the general approach is to establish notability for the subject first via an article for the subject then include it in the list This also keeps a consistent definition of notable going such that the requirements used for establishing notability for an article are the same used for establishing notability in sections with a heading title of notable as in this case I ve started a discussion on the talk page here hope to see you there
