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

Spy vs. Spy III: Arctic Antics

I built this article from an existing redirect, using three reviews which I linked to, and several more reviews as found on its Mobygames page, as you can see in this version of the article, but it was reverted by another editor; can anyone help me find additional sources to help assert notability? 2601:249:8B80:4050:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 03:20, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not much to write about for its own article. Still, it is a separate game, so odd to be in Spy vs. Spy (1984 video game). Perhaps that article could be renamed. Doesn't much matter. Dream Focus 03:37, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP

Pretty Nose

Black Coyote

DELETE
The result was delete. This individual appears to have been notable only in connection to a single event. Therefore, the consensus in this case hinges on whether or not his role in the event could be considered "highly significant" to a degree that warrants a standalone article on him. Several reliable sources were provided that mention Black Coyote and verify his role in the event. However, none of the sources provided in the discussion seem to discuss Black Coyote in any lengthy or significant way that would imply that his role in Wounded Knee was so profoundly important that it requires a standalone article to discuss it. This, of course, doesn't mean that Black Coyote and his role at Wounded Knee can't be included anywhere in Wikipedia. Indeed, descriptions of his role in the event already appear in Wounded Knee and could easily be expanded without causing the main article to become too lengthy. Therefore, the argument to delete is significantly more convincing. No prejudice against recreating the article as a redirect, if desired. ‑Scottywong

KEEP
The result was keep. There's a rough consensus that the MacArthur Fellowship is a strong enough indicator of notability to warrant an article as a "significant award" under WP:ANYBIO, and while the other sources seem very sparse, the current stub state of the article seems to be sufficiently verified to avoid any egregious WP:BLP or WP:V policy violations. ~ mazca

Temple of Apshai Trilogy

I built this article from an existing redirect, using several reviews and additional sources to split it from the Temple of Apshai article, as you can see in this version of the article, but it was reverted by another editor; can anyone help me find additional sources to help assert notability? 2601:243:1C80:6740:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 23:30, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Heads Up (video game)

This game is sometimes known as "Heads Up Action Soccer" or just "Soccer" and as far as I know it was only released by General Consumer Electronics (GCE) on the Vectrex system.

This is a routine-type discussion at RSNB. It’s to determine what level of reliability the source has. Generally the source is not deprecated/banned but said to be used with caution so no need for deletion concern.
And if it’s determined not to be reliable we want to know that before using it.Gleeanon409 (talk) 00:51, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Last one for now, I promise - I didn't want to list all three at once to be overwhelming, and all the other articles I restored or started have been successfully restored by other editors.)

I built this article from an existing redirect, using one review and some citations from the article it redirected to. An editor restored the redirect, but I took another look as I should have done and found three more reviews and another source as you can see in this version of the article, but it was still reverted by another editor; can anyone help me find additional sources to help assert notability? 2601:243:1C00:E800:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 01:26, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I restored it. [2] There are enough sources to prove it meets the general notability guidelines. You need to write something about the gameplay.

I restored this article which was previously redirected in 2013, but it was reverted. I restored it again to add more reviews and other WP:RS but the same user reverted it again.

I might recommend adding the content to the Robert S. Harris article and editing it there until you have enough to establish notability. It makes it easier than fighting over the stub versus redirect while you're trying to work on it. Normal Op (talk) 07:01, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I formatted a source here. To demonstrate. In this case we see Electronic Fun with Computers & Games is a notable magazine with its own article - a reliable source. This was previously uncertain. There is the author, title and page number of the article such that anyone can read it and see it is non-trivial and length. The "cite journal" is also impressive to many readers as it usually indicates a quality source. All this improves the impression the article is based on quality sources, making it less susceptible to negative attention. -- GreenC 23:35, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aliza Ayaz is an international youth climate activist. I think that at least some of the current references could be used to secure at least a stub or start class article. Esowteric+Talk 09:18, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore the "paid editing" template: The first edit to the article was by Az.jooma with the edit summary "KGS IT staff creating page". KGS is likely "Karachi Grammar School" which the subject attended. So the article could just as easily have been created by staff and students who share an interest in their relatively-illustrious one-time student. Certainly these editors look more like novices than professionals. Esowteric+Talk 09:24, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It used to be we used a COI tag for cases like this, but the paid editor banner is becoming more frequent because the "$" symbol gets people's attention - too bad as it dilutes the banners real meaning (companies that are paid to edit Wikipedia on a client's behalf). There is no evidence of anyone being paid for the express purpose of editing Wikipedia. -- GreenC 14:01, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, COI is something to consider. Esowteric+Talk 14:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Current refs World Urban Forum (ref 1, perhaps, minor); ARY News.tv (ref 2); BrandSynario (ref 3, perhaps: depends on how material is sourced); Geo News (ref 5) look reliable to me.

These include the United Nations itself (World Urban Forum), the official Bloomsbury Festival which is popular local festival, the official University College London (world famous university), multiple independent news platforms: The News International, Geo News, ARY News, DAWN news. Have removed any quotes that were first flagged as possible "COI" or un-neutral tones. They were initially references to podcasts and hence, this may have appeared as linked to "a close connection" or non-neutral, but this has been removed now. The article should be ok to keep now, hopefully! Any suggestions welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Studentsunion (talk • contribs) 00:50, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks! The Career section is a close paraphrase or direct copy in parts, and it needs looking at. Short quotes can be used directly, in "quotes", with a reference after each quotation.

After recent editing, I feel that this article is a keeper. Or, failing that, could be re-draftified and taken through Articles for Creation (AfC). Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 08:33, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Draftified, but okay to resubmit via AfC. The draft is here. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 15:21, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DRAFT
The result was Draftify. Some say that "an article being in poor shape is not reason for deletion" - but that doesn't exclude draftification, as consensus here determines. Any recreation should, given the concerns here, go through AfC or a consensus-based process. Sandstein

  • I did find and replace to turn [[ into a |-[[ and ]] into ]]||| so all of the things from the category are now in a list. The only problem is I can't changed anything into a newline(enter key). If anyone knows how to do that with Wikipedia or other software please let me know. Having to go in manually and add a bunch of enters is rather tedious.

List of fatal dog attacks in the United States

NO CONSENSUS
The result was no consensus. Many rationales were offered for deletion, both in the nomination and in some of the further participation. These primarily come down to:
Extended content

Violations of What Wikipedia is not. This article doesn't fit really comfortably in most of the examples of "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information" and "Wikipedia is not a memorial site / news aggregator", but it definitely has significant elements of those things, and participants are fairly split on whether it applies. I don't think this particular line of argument is going to settle itself any time soon, because the policy itself does not present a real bright line on this kind of list article. Good faith editors differ on the interpretation. Violation of Notability (standalone lists). There's a reasonable argument that this is a valid split of other, more general articles, and sources have been presented that discuss this topic as a whole, which is usually the criterion used to determine whether a group of entries warrant a standalone list article - but other participants assert that much of this coverage is rather questionable, and this starts to cross into very emotive territory regarding certain advocacy groups. This notability guideline is one of the more vague ones we have, and it again appears that good faith editors differ over its application to this article. Beyond those two core arguments, other concerns regarding bad sources and potential BLP issues are mostly editorial issues for individual entries, and there's definitely not an agreement here that the sourcing itself is poor enough to warrant deletion of the article as a whole on that basis.

Some "other stuff exists" arguments were debated here, and they have rather more validity than usual in one sense: This is probably the most emotive and divisive of the many "List of fatal <animal> attacks" that we have, and it might yet be that a more sensible way of handling this long-term disagreement is an RfC to specifically try and work out a consistent guideline for how we should handle them en masse. This is an issue that needs to be settled, but this discussion has reached no clearer consensus than the previous one, and that shows no sign of changing here.

Three articles nominated so far. There are dozens of list articles about people dying in various places by various types of animals. Plus many more about people dying from all manner of other things. Anyway, are there any published government documents, scientific studies, or reliable sources covering this enough to prove it notable? Dream Focus 16:38, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This particular list (part of a set of three, which are all splits from a too-large main article) is occasionally attacked by advocates who want this information suppressed (not as an improvement of the encyclopedia, but for their advocacy). Meatpuppets are always dragged out for this topic for vote stacking. Please consider participating in the AfD. Vote your conscience after evaluating the article, but please participate.

Wait who would want dog attack information suppressed? Is it even possible to suppress the well known fact that dogs sometimes fatally attack humans? TryKid [dubious – discuss] 07:19, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@TryKid: Those who advocate for the type of dog that appears most frequently on the list. Normal Op (talk) 07:34, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That information can't really be suppressed, right? There are probably statistics available on which type of dogs kill most, these statistics can be easily added to Fatal dog attacks article. Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a database to store every single instance of fatal dog attack that made it to the local news. Regards, TryKid [dubious – discuss] 07:43, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The fact was ... that Hamilton McWhorter III (Congressional Gold Medal pictured) was the first F6F Hellcat pilot to achieve double-ace status? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hamilton McWhorter III. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Hamilton McWhorter III), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

List of tallest buildings in Montgomery, Alabama

DELETE
The result was delete. After extended time for discussion, I find that there is consensus to delete this list as failing WP:LISTN. In theory, of course, editors with an interest in doing so could create a list of the tallest buildings in every state, county, city, town, village, and neighborhood. While this seems natural for cities known for the height of their buildings like Chicago, and New York, at some point, there must be a cutoff. The consensus here represents a definition that the city for this list is below that cutoff. BD2412

  • Sadly this is a spillover from a discussion at ANI - Levivich pontificated about the merits of the article and JzG agreed with the comments, and then JzG redirected the article, when I reverted, it was immediately nominated for deletion by JzG. The article was started from scratch just a few days ago, WP:IMPERFECT and has nothing to do with the first AfD. There is a Business Insider article which appears in the de Valk article, and a PC Magazine article (which is not yet in the article). I am sure we can find more in Dutch sources. Google Joost de Valk and 388,000 is the number. No primary sources needed, as there are enough which were used to establish work history. WC. Never give up!
