How to create custom guard clause?

public static class CustomGuardClause
{
    public static void MoreThanMaxLimit(this IGuardClause guardClause, int argument, string argumentName)
    {
        if (argument > Int16.MaxValue)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException(string.Format("{0} is not allowing to be more than Int16 max limit", argumentName));
        }
    }
}
