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 Misplaced Pages'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 Misplaced Pages content for rescue consideration. When posting here, please be sure to:

  • First familiarize yourself with Misplaced Pages'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 Misplaced Pages, 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

Bidoof

Would be more suitable to have different opinion at discussion. Article appears to have Kotaku and Vice, but it is still unknown on whether it passes notability guidelines or not. 223.219.212.152 (talk) 03:54, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Acceptability

I consider this broad-concept article to be a rather fundamental concept, as the parent article for things like Acceptance, Acceptable risk, and Acceptable loss. The nomination calls it "a grab bag of concepts", but these concepts are merely different ways of approaching a single fundamental concept. These articles are hard to write, but we've managed to do them before. BD2412 T 20:30, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Oil degassing

Offtopic. User:力百 (alt of power~enwiki, π, ν) 23:53, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Unrelated to oil degassing, but I approve of this experiment. This is a much better idea than dumping random AfDs here and expecting people not to mindlessly brigade-vote “keep”. Dronebogus (talk) 06:23, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
    If that was ever a problem, it'd be easy to prove by seeing how many people went to the AFDs and voted keep after the notice was placed here. That does not happen. There are some AFDs mentioned by regular members who don't get a single person to go there and participate, and these get deleted. Kindly assume good faith and stop spreading ridiculous rumors. Dream Focus 23:48, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
    • We had a massive ANI investigation about this. I presented evidence that Andrew was basically using ARS as a canvassing platform, even if it was frequently ineffective. Stop accusing everyone you disagree with of lying. Dronebogus (talk) 23:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
The article is riddled with inaccuracy though no blame to other editors for not spotting it - I only know as most of this year I was consulting for Lanxess so know a bit about the topic. It's highly specialised & few generalists would easily be able to develop the article. One exception would be a certain first class scholar with a science degree from Cambridge- it's a shame you didn't list this here a few weeks back Power; you might have been delighted with the result. As an aside, there are many types of degassing, what we most need right now is the Slim Shady kind. Deletionists have the community gassed up! FeydHuxtable (talk) 10:34, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

  • I wish this was double entendre but it is simply a pun in more than one languages. Should this be kept or merged or redirected or deleted? Or should it be sent to Purgatory.

Ex of a multilingual pun: from here.

  • English: “Where do cats go when they die? To purrrgatory.”
  • Spanish: “¿De dónde van los gatos cuando mueren? Purgatorio.”
  • Portuguese: “Para onde os gatos vão quando morrem? Para o purgatorio.”

ARS Public School

You mind if I ask why you decided to list this particular article? --Adamant1 (talk) 07:10, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
The AFD was just opened. Timing was not Lightburst's choice. You are asking the wrong person.
Use it or lose it. Was it appropriate to open this at ARS only after the article was deleted. Article goes back to 2015 and has previously weathered an AFD.
If we are going to ask hypothetical question, to turn the question on its head, you mind if I ask "why this article and why now?" Just askin? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:12, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
User: The Banner, Adamant1 wants to know. Perhaps you can shed some light. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:22, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
Brilliant idea to deflect the question, but you two better answer Adamant1. I also find this interesting in the light of the ongoing AN/I-discussion about the squadron. The Banner talk 18:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
So you choose not to explain why and when? Your choice. I shared your fascination with your and Adamani1's conduct too. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:38, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
7+6=13, what part of my conduct are you fascinated with? I had nothing to do with the AfD being opened or it being listed here. So I'm not really sure what my "conduct" has to do with this. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:28, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
I like to hear an answer on Adamant1's question first. The Banner talk 19:54, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Note that Lightburst didn't vote in that AFD. He was just doing deletion sorting as he regularly does, and saw the name was ARS Public School. Article Rescue Squadron's initials are ARS. Perhaps he found that amusing. You'll have to ping him if you really want to know. Dream Focus 19:59, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
Pinging Lightburst then. As per The Banner, I would like to hear an answer to Adamant1's question. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 02:57, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Unfortunately, Lightburst is currently topic banned from deletion related discussions. Which I'm pretty sure includes not participating in ARS. So I doubt we will get an answer from him now. In the meantime, it's a little baitish to ping someone to participate in an area that they are topic banned from. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:28, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Hello Adamant1. Thanks for the update. Sorry I didn't know that Lightburst is banned, so there was no baiting intended. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 03:45, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
I thought you might not have known he was topic banned. Sorry if it sounded like I was reading bad faith into your comment. That wasn't my intent. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:00, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

@MrsSnoozyTurtle: Hi, I have been impressed with your deletion related participation. In spite of what several editors above have said, I am permitted to participate here. I am also permitted to post articles here for rescue consideration. I simply choose not to at this time. And to @The Banner: apologies if anything I have done is irregular. Lightburst (talk) 13:06, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

As far as I can see, you did nothing wrong except failing to answer Adamant1. It is mr. 13 who is making a fuss. The Banner talk 16:16, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks @The Banner: I appreciate the feedback. He is a good guy. We should all edit something together - it would engender good will. Lightburst (talk) 18:54, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Ted Kendall

  • An article that needs editors. Written in 2005 (still a mess 16 years later). Nominated over the years: in 2007, in 2014, now 2021. Extrapolate and tell me the next time it will be nominated? Each time people just say, yeah it is notable, my bad. But nobody fixes the issues. I started, but I need help. The nomination gives no policy or guideline based WP:DEL-REASON. If not repaired there will undoubtably be a fourth AfD in approximately _____ years. Lightburst (talk) 20:49, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Armament of the Iowa-class battleship

Big John (dinosaur)

  • I recently created an article for Big John (dinosaur). It was nominated for deletion within minutes. The skeleton is of record size and sold at a record price. There are numerous news articles about it and I expect there will be more as the days go on. There is much material for further article expansion. Thriley (talk) 15:35, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
Extended discussion
My first time discovering an article through here. As I saw recommended somewhere (can't remember where), I noted that I found the AfD through this page. In response I get "The Article Rescue Squadron is essentially organised canvassing for inclusionists, which explains the sloppy reasoning of the keep votes so far." Hmmm. NemesisAT (talk) 20:30, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
People get upset when someone disagrees with them, and make all sorts of accusations. All the keep voters mentioned reliable sources giving it ample coverage and linked to these news articles. Also the article has been massively improved since the AFD started. Dream Focus 10:10, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
I think a fair argument could be made for why this is canvasing. Just because there's a central place where the appeal to keep an article is being made doesn't make it any less canvasing. I'd say the same thing if there was an "article deletion squad" and I'm sure lots of people, including members of this "squad" would agree with me. Also, I find the frequently used excuse that it's not canvasing because it's often infective to be rather weak. If mass appeals on people's talk pages are made to vote keep in an AfD and no one does, that doesn't make it not canvasing. Because the behavior is what's wrong, not the response or lack of one. That said, no one would be bothering with this if it wasn't an effective way to keep articles. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:07, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
When people turn up at AFD its difficult to impossible to know what brought them there, you can't say for certain that anyone joined an AFD because of the ARS entry, just as you can't say they didn't. However it is noteworthy how many people turn up at AFD and !vote Keep, but make no effort to improve the page, I'm sure someone can run a program to see how many such Keep !voters are also ARS members. Mztourist (talk) 06:31, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
But multiple regulars did show up to make improvements on this article. I, Lightburst, and 7&6=thirteen are active members of the Article Rescue Squadron, and we found our way there from here. I have no idea how Ackatsis found their way there, be it from here or other means, they doing much improvement to the article as well. File size shows it went from 1,343 bytes when the deletion banner was first put on it to 9,127 bytes now. I always search for references and mention them in the AFD and try to improve the article if I can. This discussion has been had many times before. This Wikiproject is perfectly valid, and those complaining about it constantly are upset that articles they tried to delete had someone showing up and disagreeing with them. Dream Focus 07:41, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
I'm not commenting on this article specifically. As you know you !voted Keep on 3 of my recent AFDs that were listed here, but only made improvements to one of them. So you can point to some pages where a few members of this project have improved the page and I can point to pages where project members have !voted on AFDs without improving the page. You say that "those complaining about it constantly are upset that articles they tried to delete had someone showing up and disagreeing with them" and I can say that many of them only turned up at the AFD because it was listed here at ARS and that they haven't made any effort towards the supposed purpose of this project which is to improve pages. Mztourist (talk) 08:33, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
Well if this is a common problem, you should be able to link to examples of people showing up without improving the page OR looking for reliable sources to mention in the AFD. There are times of course when people show up after all the work has been done, reliable sources found giving significant coverage, so nothing more needs to be found to prove it meets the general notability guidelines. At times various people have looked through all the articles mentioned here, and pointed out which ones had no one showing up at all at them, which times a few people showed up, and never do you see any massive swarm of people showing up just to holler KEEP and not give a valid reason. I always look at everything but if I can't find anything to improve and can't find any evidence it meets any of the notability guidelines, I don't participate in those AFD. Dream Focus 09:13, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
Dream Focus here you go: and two articles listed at ARS where you !voted Keep but added nothing to the article. You say that "if I can't find anything to improve and can't find any evidence it meets any of the notability guidelines, I don't participate in those AFD", so even when you recognize that a page doesn't meet notability you still won't !vote to delete it. Mztourist (talk) 10:44, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
I searched for information and found and posted a link to a reliable source of information, and mentioned something there that convinced me it was notable. I have voted to delete articles at times, and keep at others, and sometimes just make a comment or ask a question. I never vote keep or delete unless am I 100% certain. When in doubt, don't get involved. Dream Focus 10:50, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
You added nothing to either of those pages. Mztourist (talk) 12:40, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

There's plenty of examples from my previous AfDs where people from the "rescue squad" voted keep and didn't improve anything in the process. I don't know how many times I've seen someone from the rescue squad cite four or five extremely trivial, un-useable sources so other people have an excuse to vote keep. Then if anyone questions the sources they are accused of bludging the process or acting bad faithed. 99% of the time the sources are never added to the articles either. It's completely ridiculous to claim the rescue squad is mainly concerned with improving articles when they routinely go out of their way to provide garbage references in AfDs, don't add them to the articles, and are openly hostile toward finding better ones. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:42, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

You posted the same nonsense at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Misplaced Pages:Article_Rescue_Squadron_is_getting_problematic which is where I responded to it. Kindly keep your rants there. Dream Focus 09:39, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
  • They are not, but you seem to enjoy distorting things and complaining constantly about everything I, or anyone else who ever dared disagree with you in AFD, does. Dream Focus 10:25, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
  • I don't consider DF's dismissive attitude of my thoughts a personal attack, though I am disappointed by it, especially considering that I only re-posted because I was unaware of the second discussion (otherwise I would have put everything there) and the fact that the ANI shows there are some legitimate concerns about this project which none of the ARS regulars really seem to care about. -Indy beetle (talk) 19:23, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Seems that you and the other two follow each other to ivote similarly in military AfDs. These exchanges are comical. All across the project, in AfD, on talk pages, on this project page, on ANI. All repetitive, and accomplishing not much - talking at each other. There is an actual encyclopedia to build. We can all collegially follow each other's edits the way the GEO folks do, or the Military followers. The ARS is only one avenue for saving an article. Or we can pick one of the hundreds of notable articles from the list of hundreds of AfDs to work on. You should not be throwing stones - you should be posting an article you want improved. Don't say go look over there in CCI. Simply pick one and post the article here and if anyone thinks it is notable they will help. I have posted items here that were attended by not one ARS member. If they cannot help they won't. Lightburst (talk) 21:27, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
@Lightburst:I assume that I'm one of the people your comment is about. If so, I hardly (if ever) participate in military related AfDs because it's not a subject I know anything about. Also, I hardly ever see Mztourist or Indy beetle participate in the AfDs that I do. So your whole thing that we follow each other around and vote similarly is patently false nonsense. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:47, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Adamant1 wasn't you. I haven't even seen you on the project recently. Lightburst (talk) 23:21, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Ok. Thanks for the clarification. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:55, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
  • Forgive me if I sound snide, but if there was "an article want improved", I would not ask for help here, because I'm not convinced that much long-term quality improvement comes out of the ARS process (kind of by design). For example, plastering references all over the place can sometimes suffice as far as swaying an AfD vote goes, but that doesn't mean the resulting article is "good". Way easier to slowly and carefully improve something either by myself or in the more normal setting of some WikiProject people who know the material better than I would. -Indy beetle (talk) 00:52, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Yup you sound snide. Sad. And I thought we were working toward the same goals. You are free to nominate any that we saved. They are bulletproof. Pick one. Lightburst (talk) 01:45, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Considering how the discussion is going at ANI you might want to axe the confrontational tone and be more willing to admit there's a problem. Personally, I'm more then willing to give ARS the benefit of the doubt that it can improve. The unwillingness to admit there's an issue and the smug attitudes in the meantime don't install confidence in your abilities to right the ship if your given an opportunity to though. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:56, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
I should probably just be quiet when insulted. I understand. Lightburst (talk) 02:08, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

This is a tall antenna/tower. A very tall antenna. For some reason 9/19/2021 the article had 1,596 views - coincidentally it was the same day the AfD was placed. Then yesterday the article had 3,910 views. Why is this tower so interesting? The tower apparently gets its bulb changed so planes do not hit it, but it is no longer a working antenna.

NO CONSENSUS The result was no consensus.

Side conversation
"An effort underway to delete the Airmen" is a misleading description. User:Bluecountrymutt (indeffed for copyvio) created 66 poorly-sourced and written pages about Tuskegee Airmen. I have spent the last 3-4 days cleaning them all up and AFDing those that fail WP:BASIC. 15 pages have been deleted, 5 are at AFD and another 1-2 will be put up for AFD. Just being an Airmen or the fact that the Airmen as a group were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal doesn't make them all notable. Mztourist (talk) 03:09, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
I am not impressed by the deletion of any Tuskegee Airmen - it is an attack on history. Please build the encyclopedia rather than working on removing notable people. Anyone with a Congressional Gold Medal is inherently notable. Couple that with the integration of the US Army Air Force and you have a clear pass of WP:N. Note: we should keep N discussion on one of your many Afd proposals. Lightburst (talk) 03:37, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
"An attack on history" is about the weakest argument imaginable. You have clearly ignored everything I have written above about cleaning up Tuskegee Airmen pages and I have created over 750 pages, so don't imply that I'm not trying to "build the encyclopedia". The Congressional Gold Medal wasn't awarded to any Tuskegee Airman individually, it was awarded to the group and the Airmen have a page. WP:NOTINHERITED applies here, just belonging to a notable organization does not confer notability on its individual members, each individual's page stands or falls on his own coverage. Mztourist (talk) 03:51, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Just belonging to a group does not confer notability...isn't that what we do to confer notability on WP: US Congress and Senate members? Nobel Prize winners? Again we need to take this to the many Afds you have proposed. Nobody needs to see a food fight here. Lightburst (talk) 04:06, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Have you even read WP:NOTINHERITED? It really seems that you haven't. As you should know, there are WP:SNG for certain people, members of Congress and Senate fall within WP:POLITICIAN, Nobel Prize winners will fall within #1 of WP:ANYBIO and usually also satisfy WP:ACADEMIC.

  • Comment The cited source doesn't say he was the first black flight instructor. It only confirms that Fuller was a Tuskegee Airman. It does mention that C. Alfred Anderson WAS an instructor, but it doesn't say he was the first, either. Intothatdarkness 17:04, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

KEEP The result was keep. Evidence has been presented, albeit late in the discussion, that this individual meets GNG, and as such arguments based on ANYBIO, and their rebuttals, are largely moot. A few notes, since the notability of this entire group is being examined at the moment: there is no consensus on whether this individual is notable as a result of the award the Tuskegee airmen received. There is no consensus on whether being a member of this group is by itself sufficient, though the arguments in favor of this notion are stronger. Finally, it's very difficult to give any weight to arguments based on ATD and PRESERVE in these sorts of discussions, because those policies have nothing to say about the question of whether a standalone article should be kept or merged into a larger, and more obviously notable, topic.

List of stock characters in military fiction arrow for R draft

It was restored as a draft, then put back in place to be merged over with List of stock characters. Dream Focus 15:20, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

MERGED The result was delete. Although sources have been proposed for this topic, rough consensus here is that they do not overcome the OR issues this page has. Sandstein

Doughty Daranios and Dream Focus have made a start but could use some reinforcement and support. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:41, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

"Reinforcement and support"? That's lobbying the AfD. Also Andrew you well know that you are obliged to place the ARS template in the AfD discussion. Mztourist (talk) 12:26, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

List of living Medal of Honor recipients

DELETE The result was delete. List of Medal of Honor recipients is an article that exists, with several spinoffs to accommodate the large number of recipients of this medal. Given that, any argument to keep this list needs to demonstrate that sources deal with this topic independent of the list of all recipients; i.e., that sources have covered the currently living recipients as a body, rather than as single recipients or among all recipients. Those arguing to keep in this AfD have not done so. I'm not even giving much weight to the concerns that this list will have high turnover; that's probably a subject for a wider discussion.

Article was deleted at AFD last year. At the time, no independent reliable sources were found for the character, but some additional sources were found that I have added to the article, and moved it to Draft:Yuan-ti. Anything additional you can do to help it pass AFC would be appreciated! BOZ (talk) 02:47, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

For the record, in case anyone asks (because someone did this before when I brought something like this to ARS), deletion review is a poor place to take articles that were properly deleted or redirected at AFD, but for which more sources can be found after the AFD is closed. DRV won't help, because they only review to see if the original close was correct, and they will look at this one and say it was correct (I know this because I have tried that before). A resurrection is definitely a rescue, in fact it may be the ultimate rescue - we can find the sources and bring it back. Note that the main ARS page actually says that ARS also helps with things like PROD and it even has a whole section for Drafts at Misplaced Pages:Article Rescue Squadron#Rescuing drafts. Unfortunately, and I really wish there was, but Misplaced Pages does not have a "we'll help bring back your deleted/redirected article if you find the sources to prove notability" function and people certainly can make it harder to do so than it needs to be. About the only thing I know that does work is to move it to drafts and have an AFC reviewer look at it. BOZ (talk) 02:47, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Article was kept twice at AFD, but finally redirected after its third AFD in 2019. At the time, no independent reliable sources were found for the character, but some additional sources were found that I have added to the article, and moved it to Draft:Bruenor Battlehammer. He is one of the four main playable characters in a recent video game released earlier this summer. Anything additional you can do to help it pass AFC would be appreciated!

Two different version of this article were redirected at AFD, in 2015 and in 2019. At the time of the first AFD, the character had only existed as a baby, and at the time of the second AFD there was some reception but not enough to get a keep. I believe that there may be enough reception out there, now that the character is in her third season having actual spoken lines, so I moved it to Draft:Judith Grimes. I will try to find more sources for her when I get a chance. Anything additional you can do to help it pass AFC would be appreciated! BOZ (talk) 02:47, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

MERGE The result was to merge the content, so for now I've performed a redirect to List_of_Ravenloft_characters#Rudolph_van_Richten. The content that is to be merged can of course be done boldly from the history of the article. (non-admin closure) Steven Zhang

First AFD was in 2011, second was in 2019, both times closed as redirect. At the time, no independent reliable sources were found for the character, but recently multiple sources have been written for him online as he is the subject of recent release Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, which I added to the Draft:Rudolph van Richten.
