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-sourcereferences 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.
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:
ATTENTION! Go to https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/ to apply for access to multiple databases to search for sources to help save and improve articles.

AREA (fashion label) has been nominated for deletion. The subject easily meets notability guidelines based on the current sourcing. Thriley (talk) 12:58, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To find more sources and work on the article. Or to keep you from edit warring and deleting valid sourced content. DreamFocus 16:43, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Instagram face has been nominated for deletion. Plenty of source material already. Any assistance with finding more would be appreciated. Thriley (talk) 18:14, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Greg Flynn (businessman) has been nominated for deletion. He's a billionaire and owner of over 2,600 restaurants in the United States. Any help with sourcing would be appreciated. Thriley (talk) 16:32, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I need help finding sourcing. I found one physical museum that list 181 of them. Need help finding other physical museums that have physical copies of these video games in their collection. If you feel like clicking on an empty box in the reference column to add a reference to something from time to time, every little bit helps. DreamFocus 07:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If we cant find every single game, We might have to add a few [citation needed] to the infobox. The alternative is to delete them, as sadly we cant use another wikipedia page as a source. I will go and run some citation and bots on it to prevent the speedy deletion and/or deadlinksCooldudeseven7 (talk) 15:21, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Ignore all rules is a founding policy. The guidelines are just guidelines. Follow policy. Wikipedia:Notability begins with: This page documents an English Wikipedia notability guideline. Editors should generally follow it, though exceptions may apply. Exceptions links to the policy of ignore all rules, which says "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it."
There is no doubt that the games exist, you can find information about them, and pictures of them. So you don't need a reliable source telling you they exist. Also if they have their own Wikipedia article, you can go there and find a reference if you want one. I did that with dozens of them, then didn't see the point to keep bothering with it. People can click the link and read about it. DreamFocus 15:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I hope this was the right place, I was looking through AFDs. Alex Lozupone was nominated and now I am overly confused at the discussion. I think from how I understand the policies it does pass as I discussed at the discussion but I need to step away, but I don’t want everyone else’s efforts to go away because I don’t understand policy. This musicians is not super notable but seems somehow to have some sources, maybe it is not enough, maybe there are some more. I created this article before knowing that he also does music. I don’t care to be involved in the harsh discussion anymore where people quickly vote without reading. Thank you. Maybe I am wrong, but the article was around a long time, and the user who nominated it and some other I created has stopped editing so it is confusing. ThreeBootsInABucket (talk)
