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.

WikiProject Article rescue squadron's main focus is on Misplaced Pages articles based upon topics that are perceived as actually being notable that are going through Articles for deletion (AfD), that:

Prior to suggesting an article, please familiarize yourself with Misplaced Pages's guidelines for topic notability and identifying reliable sources. For more information about article rescue, please refer to tips to help rescue articles and Article Rescue Squadron Guide to saving articles.

The following is a list of content for rescue consideration. Please be sure to include your rationale why the article/content should be retained on Misplaced Pages.
Please post new entries at the top of the list.

January 2012

Worlds of Ultima Online

Worlds of Ultima Online was nominated on January 27th 2012. The AFD is at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Worlds of Ultima Online. If anyone is familiar with this game, or has read reviews about its worlds in magazines or notable websites, please help add additional sources to the ones I already found.

TLG Communications

TLG Communications– AfD closed as delete.

Here's the AfD: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/TLG Communications. The topic appears to be a close case in which it appears to just meet WP:GNG. It needs more sources to establish notability, and some expansion to better state the company's activities and goals. Northamerica1000 22:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Stacked (TV film)

Stacked (TV film), see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Stacked (TV film). Stacked was a 2008 film/TV pilot that resulted from a large Scottish competition and was aired on Channel 4, I think it meets WP:GNG, have added 3 substantial sources already, but there may be more out there.--Milowent 21:14, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Shoshana Grossbard-Shechtman

Shoshana Grossbard-Shechtman AfD closed as Keep.

Shoshana Grossbard is a professor of economics at San Diego State University. Created 11 Jan 2012 by me. --Uncle Ed (talk) 21:47, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

  • Prodded, improved; tagged, improved; then as if in response to the tag-requested improvement, nominated for AfD.
  • Three others jump in to save the article: Hrafn, Msrasnw, NorthAmerica1000, SummerPhD
  • AFD closed keep. Stifle (talk) 10:14, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Schleifer

Schleifer AfD closed as Keep.

A schleifer is a musical ornament - like a trill. I created this article almost 4 years ago. --Uncle Ed (talk) 21:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

  • See Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Schleifer
  • It was suddenly prodded by SummerPhD: Two articles, both poorly sourced, smashed into one. No indication of notability. and Hrafn: Profoundly malformed stub ...
  • I removed the prods and asked for help merging the information.
  • The response was an escalation to AfD.
  • I removed the irrelevant information complained of in the AfD
  • Hrafn now pitches in to clean up the article - despite having agreed with the prod and with the AfD nom.
  • Subject appears notable. Some discussion perhaps whether it should best be treated in a separate article or with other musical ornaments, but deletion is inappropriate. I weighed in adding possible sources to my AfD comment.--Milowent 22:29, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Round Top Branch

Round Top Branch AfD closed as Keep.

Tipton Station

Tipton Station AfD closed as Keep.

Tapeworm Railroad

Tapeworm Railroad AfD closed as Keep.

Springs Hotel and Horse Railroad

Springs Hotel and Horse Railroad– AfD closed as Keep.

Cope Truss

Cope Truss– AfD closed as redirect to Gettysburg Battlefield.

Union Gettysburg veteran Emmor Cope was detailed to annotate the battlefield's troop positions... but it says nothing whatever about the Cope Truss. Should there be some mention of the tower there?--DThomsen8 (talk) 13:55, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Abraham Bryan

  • AfD in Category:Gettysburg Battlefield. Abraham Bryan, or Brian was a free black man who owned a farm on Cemetery Ridge at the time of the Battle of Gettysburg, and with other blacks fled the area for fear of being enslaved by the Confederate troops. --DThomsen8 (talk) 17:43, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I've added pointers to articles and books mentioning the man. The AfD nomination is based on the biography guideline, but the article may work if the focus is placed on the incident instead of the person. Apart from my Keep, the AfD currently had only Delete !votes based on the lack of sources. Diego (talk) 10:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Pennsylvania Dental College

  • I've already handled this one, but wanted to make a note here. This college is one in the same as Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery, another stub subject to a suggested merge. I expanded the latter article, and suggested that Pennsylvania Dental College be redirected to it. This was a classic rescue situation, the subject was notable, the current content was weak, but if deleted its unclear if either article would have ever been recreated. It turns out that the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery was actually the 2nd dental college founded in the United States (its a bit more complex than that, but essentially that's the case), and the college spawned what became the current dental schools at UPenn and Temple. I.e., its an overlooked but important part of American dental history. (BTW, an article could be created on Dental Cosmos, the premier dental science periodical from the 1870s to 1938. )--Milowent 15:33, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Canadian Gun Nutz

A quick google news search doesn't reveal anything other than a passing mention in 2007? You have any other news sources to demonstrate notability? That's what we need here.--Milowent 22:33, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi, some citations have been added by CGN members and the article is beginning to expand. The article has plenty of room for expansion, but it will take time. That is why I have asked the rescue group to participate. HELP :) JunoBeach (talk) 21:45, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I took off speedy deletion yesterday, but I see its now at AfD, so you'll have seven days to discuss it. But reasonable speaking, you have a tough case here, I can do a lot when I have sources, but there's not much I can find for this. You need press articles, etc., where the forum is discussed/profiled, etc., to show that it is notable.--Milowent 22:15, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Vladimir Kush

i hope im doing this right. Vladimir Kush is a famous artist who ive heard of and i tried hard to fix the page but people have ganged up and removed all the references ive added and even said my keep doesnt count. i dont know what else to do and i found this. maybe im doing everything wrong on this site i dont know but no one is participating except people who seem to have problems with me. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Vladimir Kush thanks and tell me if i did anything wrong please. Bouket (talk) 17:49, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

  • Yes, this is where to post rescue candidates now. I'll take a look. I'll note that Kush is not unique in being put to AfD--many living artists (painters, sculptors, etc., I mean) have[REDACTED] articles created that don't last, usually because they don't have sufficient coverage in news sources. Its unlikely to be personal about you as an editor commenting on the discussion.--Milowent 18:09, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
  • The article could use expansion. Added {{bio-stub}}. I've added the following sources to the article:
Northamerica1000 13:16, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Flemming Rule

Flemming Rule– AfD closed as "keep".
  • Comment - I've cleaned up/rewritten the article, removing copyvio problems in which prose was verbatim copy/pasted from sources. The following sources have been added to the article:
