New Article rescue list added to project


The project page has been updated with a new Rescue list, for people to post articles and content for rescue consideration. Please be sure to include your rationale why the article/content should be retained on Wikipedia when posting to the list.


New guide added to project


The ARS Guide to saving articles is a new addition to the project.


ARS Pages updated with Code of Conduct

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.


Search all deletion discussions by topic


A handy way to search for deletion discussions by topic. Also includes a useful list of deletion discussion links in the pull-down menu at the "List Discussions" section.
