ARS Code of Conduct
  • Note that this wikiproject is only intended to improve the encyclopedia. The project is not about casting votes or vote-stacking. Be sure to follow the guideline on canvassing. This means, in part, that you should use Template:Rescue list on the deletion discussion page when you list the discussion here.
  • Focus on improving content. For example, when working on an article listed for rescue, try to qualify topic notability by adding reliable-source references with significant coverage of the topic. Edit the content to address specific concerns raised in the AfD discussion.
  • Show the light. If you comment in an AfD discussion, try to describe points in the nomination that have been corrected. Note any remaining deficiencies (e.g. lack of organization, structural problems, lack of balance, etc.). Base comments upon Wikipedia's deletion policy. If an article has been rewritten, you may place a comment in the AfD as a courtesy to assist the closing admin in determining which article version others were referring to.
For more information about article rescue, please refer to ARS Tips to help rescue articles and ARS Rescue guide
For additional article improvement listings, check out this project's archives and listings at WikiProject Cleanup

This is a list and discussion of Wikipedia content for rescue consideration. When posting here, please be sure to:

  • First familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's guidelines for topic notability and identifying reliable sources, as well as the prohibition on inappropriate canvassing
  • Include a specific rationale why the article/content should be retained on Wikipedia, and any ideas to improve the content. Please ensure that your comment here is neutrally worded. (You can also !vote to delete an article at its deletion discussion because you think it is untenable in its present state, and still list it here in the hope that another editor will find a way to improve it and save it.)
  • You should disclose in a deletion discussion that a post has been made at the rescue list.
  • Sign posts with four tildes ~~~~.
  • Place the {{subst:rescue list|~~~~}} template in Articles for deletion discussions, to notify editors about the listing here. The tag can be placed below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

The following templates can be used for articles listed here:

  • *{{Find sources|Article name}} - Adds source search options
  • *{{lagafd|Article name}} - Adds relevant links
  • *{{lagafd|Article name|Article name (2nd nomination)}} - Likewise but for page nominated twice
  • *{{lagafd|Article name|Article name (3rd nomination)}} - Likewise but for page nominated 3 times
  • *{{lagafd|Article name|Article name (Nth nomination)}} - Likewise but for page nominated N ≥ 4 times

List of emergency telephone numbers

The main debate issues are WP:NOTYELLOW and the reliability of the data. StrayBolt (talk) 19:34, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Andrew Davidson: You're slipping back into the old habits I thought I had talked you out of back in February. Please follow the guidelines at the top of this page by providing a valid rationale for keeping the page, and ideas for how to improve it, not joke-y comments like the above and "BY THE LEFT - DOUBLE - MARCH!" that essentially amount to "Here's the AFD: you know what to do..."

"BY THE LEFT - DOUBLE - MARCH!" Andrew D. (talk) 22:55, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Older people's associations

This seems to be a topic with much potential. Andrew D. (talk) 21:45, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz (motivational writer)

Note: removed "(motivational writer)" from above search

Thinking big here with two nominations, the 1959 motivational book (latest english reprint in 2015) and the professor of marketing author. Much of the articles' promotional past versions text has been removed, but it still needs more WP:RS. As one editor wrote, "thats enough unreliable sources for now".

Thank you for your help! StrayBolt (talk) 02:58, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Annie LeBlanc (entertainer)

Current version seems too promotional or fan-like. Content sourced to gossip sites needs to be removed. I think there may be a case for notability based on Billboard charts, awards/nominations, acting roles, and YouTube following...but this may be hidden by the tone and superfluous information. Thsmi002 (talk) 12:04, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The result was keep. (non-admin closure) wumbolo ^^^ 20:43, 16 July 2018 (UTC)"

Feminist rhetoric

An understanding of rhetoric is useful on Wikipedia as there are numerous discussions and debates. What's being asked for in this case is an extensive rewrite of the topic. Andrew D. (talk) 14:19, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An article on the path to snow keep, for which only the nominator (who probably just hasn't got around to withdrawing the nomination) is currently arguing for deletion against unanimous opposition; why is it necessary to post this on the "rescue list"? I know that the supposed purpose of this project is to improve articles where the problems are something that can be addressed that way, but it is not actually used that way, and it seems that only one or two people apart from Andrew and myself (who were both already aware of the AFD) are actually watching this list, so what could come of posting here escapes me.

"The result was keep. Sandstein 09:57, 6 July 2018 (UTC)"

Courtesy call

There is much need for good information about etiquette. "Manners maketh man"... Andrew D. (talk) 23:45, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The result was keep. Enigmamsg 18:43, 26 June 2018 (UTC)"

Sources added 0 -> 9; Size 1,321 -> 5,854 bytes; @Icewhiz: with the most additions; 2 deletes were reversed after improvements. StrayBolt (talk) 23:02, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Greasy pole

It's an amusing analogy for Wikipedia which can be quite Sisyphusian. There seem to be many variations in many places and so there's good scope to improve this and so prevent the contributions from slipping all the way to the bottom. Andrew D. (talk) 18:55, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The result was keep. Since it was brought up, there was no consensus for a rename here, but that conversation can take place on the talk page. Good suggestions for improvement in the discussion. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 01:16, 24 June 2018 (UTC)"

Puzzle Puppers

I'd like some help finding additional references for this article, and to expand it if possible. Dream Focus 16:56, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I added Metacritic which has 4 reviews, of which 2 you have already used. StrayBolt (talk) 01:56, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The result was keep. No one except nominator supports deletion. Shutting this down also to prevent more personal discussion. Drmies (talk) 20:36, 16 June 2018 (UTC)"

Sources added; Size 2,192 -> 5,714 bytes (161% increase); @Sergecross73: with the most additions; 2 deletes were struck after improvements. StrayBolt (talk) 03:23, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
