Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron – Rescue list
ARS Code of Conduct
|
- 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

I built an article on this early Disney video game from an existing redirect, but it was reverted. Someone helped me find several WP:RS to bring it up to five reviews in the article (and links to two more non-English reviews) to this version of the article, and yet it was still reverted for some reason; can anyone help me find additional sources to help assert notability? 2601:243:1C00:E800:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 16:16, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

- Aliza Ayaz (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs|google) AfD discussion
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)
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)
- 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)
- Yes, COI is something to consider. Esowteric+Talk 14:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
Current refs World Urban Form (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. Bloomsbury Festival (ref 20) looks reliable for uncontroversial material; ditto Events at Cambridge Uni (ref 22); and The International News (ref 31). Esowteric+Talk 14:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Also includes List of German racing drivers in the same AFD. Is there a way to copy all the things listed in Category:Brazilian racing drivers into the proper list? Perhaps a bot to read infobox data to add to columns? Dream Focus 00:49, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- 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. Dream Focus 03:01, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

- List of fatal dog attacks in the United States (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs|google) AfD discussion
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)
- 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)
- @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)
- 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)

DYK for Hamilton McWhorter III
On 4 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hamilton McWhorter III, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. 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.

Need some notability advice for a potential article. This art critic likely meets notability under a creative metric but I’m not terribly familiar with judging those. She is a prolific writer and has made a few documentaries but I’m not sure if that’s enough. Any help is appreciated! Gleeanon409 (talk) 15:13, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia started in January 2001. This article was created less than three months later and so must be one of Wikipedia's earliest.

This article has languished for years, at one point filled with spam links, it was moved to draft incorrectly, moved back to main space, and ignored. One WP:42 reference will save it.

- Joost de Valk (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs|google) AfD discussion
- 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!
