] All too often, an article about a ] lies wounded, badly written, unsourced &ndash; but should its life be taken at ]? No! Only articles about non-encyclopedic ''topics'' should be deleted, not articles that need improvement. Improvement is the ''opposite'' of deletion.


]
An article should not be deleted just because it is ill-formed. Some writer worked hard on that article. Some reader can use that article. Those writers and readers, if reached out to, can help us preserve this worthwhile content.
Welcome to '''WikiProject Article Rescue Squadron'''. This WikiProject works toward improving ] as a whole by cooperating together to improve deficient articles through editing to provide necessary sources, correcting inappropriate style or tone, cleaning up grammatical and layout problems, et cetera, with the overall goal of improving the encyclopedia. This WikiProject is always in need of additional help, so feel free to ]; all are welcome to help improve Misplaced Pages articles and content!


Sometimes Misplaced Pages articles about ] exist in poor form, badly written, unsourced {{ndash}} but that is not sufficient in itself to remove them from the encyclopedia at ]. If an article is about an ] that has received significant coverage in ] that are ] of the subject, the article may, per our ] policy, simply need ].
__TOC__
== Why is it important to read ''']'''? ==
Every time an article is deleted, the contributions that were made to it are lost. Misplaced Pages administrators can access the information in deleted articles, but they are not necessarily experts on the article's topic. Once an article is deleted, its content, value and appropriateness can no longer be evaluated by the general public.


A significant aspect of this project's focus is on articles that may be written in poor form, lack references or need improvement, yet are backed by ] and are therefore likely worthy of a Misplaced Pages stand-alone article per Misplaced Pages's ]. Some writer may have worked hard on that article. Some reader can use that article. In reaching out to work with such writers and readers, the project can help to preserve worthwhile content in the encyclopedia.
In addition, the contributor who writes a poor article on a notable topic is likely to be inexperienced. If their first efforts are deleted, they may be discouraged and refrain from creating further articles, or even editing. Everyone starts somewhere and we should encourage better writing and better articles. ] efforts to contribute should be met with encouragement to improve.
{{divbox|radius=15px|green|3={{center|'''See the ] to view or contribute to the project's list of content for rescue consideration.'''}}}}


==] Scope==
This makes ] a very important place, one that deserves everyone's attention.
{{Article Rescue Squadron Code of Conduct}}
Wikiproject Article rescue squadron's main focus is on Misplaced Pages articles that are perceived as actually being ''']''' that are going through ''']''' (AfD), which may:
* Need ]
* Be ]
* Lack ]
* Need ].


We also help rescue content in Misplaced Pages's ] (refer to ] for more information) and other ] processes, such as ] and ]. See ] for an overview.
A common axiom is that "AFD is not cleanup". Consider that Misplaced Pages is a work in progress and articles should not be deleted as punishment because no one has felt like cleaning them up ''yet''. Remember, ]. If there's good, eventually sourceable, content in the article, it should be developed and improved, not deleted.


ARS members may also be interested in rescuing articles listed at ]. These articles often cover notable topics. Evaluating the extent of such problems can be difficult, but thoroughly rewriting articles with problems identified as foundational has the additional benefit of helping ].
The question on whether a poor but improvable article ought to be deleted is a major point of contention, and has given rise to the wiki-philosophies ] and ].


==What can one person do?== ===Does ARS want to keep everything?===
No. The project is not about making policy to ensure that nothing is deleted or casting ''keep'' votes in AfD discussions. The project ensures that articles that can be written to follow ''']''' do not get deleted when they can be ''rescued'' through normal editing, which per ] means that it was not a good candidate for deletion. The {{tl|Sofixit}} and {{tl|Solookitup}} templates are sometimes all that's required for a rescue.


==] How to contribute==
In general, the Article Rescue Squadron is not about writing on talk pages as much as editing article pages. If everyone who cares about preserving important topics glances at one deletion discussion per day (or even one per week) the impact will benefit all our readers. Reading through the ] and rewriting it - if it is deserving - will help other editors rethink the differences between unencyclopedic ''writing'' and unencyclopedic ''topics'' &ndash; and maybe they will contemplate improvement before they contemplate deletion.
:''See: ] and ]''
The Article Rescue Squadron WikiProject is about editing and improving articles. ARS is no different from any of the hundreds of Wikiprojects in that we collaborate to improve Misplaced Pages. If everyone who cares about preserving ] and removing ] reads one deletion discussion per day (or even one per week), the impact will benefit all of our readers. Moreover, reading through an ] and adding sources and rewriting the text to remove or reword unsuitable content can help other editors decide if the article should be kept or deleted.


==Misplaced Pages:Articles for Deletion{{spaced ndash}}why it's important to view==
==So ARS wants to keep everything? ==
]. Sometimes articles that are nominated for deletion simply need for the topic to be proven as notable and encyclopedic through the provision of ].]]


Every time an article is deleted the contributions that were made to it are lost, and then only Misplaced Pages administrators can access it, but they are not necessarily experts on the article's topic. After deletion, an article's content, value, and appropriateness can no longer be evaluated by the general public. In addition, the contributor who writes a poor article on a notable topic is likely to be inexperienced. If their first efforts are deleted, they may be discouraged and refrain from creating further articles, or even editing. Everyone starts somewhere, and we should encourage better writing and better articles. ] efforts to contribute should be met with encouragement to improve.
No. The Article Rescue Squadron (ARS) is not about casting ''keep'' votes or making policy simply to ensure that nothing is deleted. The ARS ensures that articles about notable topics do not get deleted when they can be ''rescued'' through normal editing which per ] means that it was not a good candidate for deletion. The {{tl|So fix it}} and {{tl|Solookitup}} templates are sometimes all that's required for a rescue.


This makes ] (AfD) a very important place; one that deserves everyone's attention.
==Instructions==
===What the Rescue template is for===


A common axiom is that "AFD is not cleanup". Misplaced Pages is a ], and articles should not be deleted because no one has felt like cleaning them up ''yet''. Remember, ]. If there's good, sourceable content in the article, it should be preserved, developed and improved, not deleted. The Misplaced Pages policy of trying to correct problems in articles through editing improvements, expansion and adding reliable sources, located at ''']''', is often more appropriate than the entire deletion of articles.
* Articles on ''']''' subjects going through ] that:
:* Need ]
:* Are ]
:* Lack ]
:* Need ]


The question on whether a poor but improvable article ought to be deleted is a major point of contention, and has given rise to the wiki-philosophies ] and ]. The Article Rescue Squadron was highlighted in ], and has grown with many processes to tag, track, and list tagged articles.
===What the Rescue template is ''not'' for===


===Articles proposed for deletion (prod)===
* Articles that are '''not''' in the AfD process, including articles that have been deleted, even if you have archived the content. You might post {{tl|findsourcesnotice}} to the article's talk page as a way to suggest where editors may find sourced material for the article.
Sometimes articles are ] (prod, prodded) without being sent to AfD, some of which are notable per Misplaced Pages's ].
* Articles that, no matter what improvements were made, would be considered inappropriate per ]. Use ] and feel free to ask what other editors think on the ].
* Refer to ''']''' and ''']''' to browse these articles.
* You may wish to consider joining ].


==Rescuing drafts==
===Flag an article for Rescue===
Many new articles come to Misplaced Pages via the ] (AfC) process. Reviewers assess these contributions and either accept, decline or reject them. Declined drafts on notable subjects may be improved by the authors and resubmitted. In many cases, however, this does not happen and the drafts are essentially abandoned. Abandoned drafts are subject to deletion under ] after 6 months of inactivity. Since all this occurs in ] space and typically involves new editors, these deletions are largely invisible to the editing community.


You can help by reviewing drafts that will soon become eligible for deletion and improving them and submitting them for rereview at AfC.
If an article has been tagged for deletion (]), and you feel it meets the above guidelines, then you can flag an article for rescuing by:
*]
*]
*]
*] - includes subcategories for various decline reasons


==Tips to help rescue articles==
# clicking edit and
:''See also: ]''
# adding the following line of text at the top of the page as shown in the example below:
{{shortcut|WP:RESCUETIPS}}
* Familiarize yourself with Misplaced Pages's guidelines for ] and ]
* Read Misplaced Pages's ], including the policy ].
* Discuss issues regarding an individual article on that article's talk page, not on this project's talk page.
* Suggest an article nominated for deletion that you feel meets notability guidelines, or should be retained for other reasons, on this project's ] page, for ARS consideration.
* Browse ] periodically, and consider improving articles that you feel meet ].
* Check 1,000 articles at ], updated daily. All are in need of improvement.
* Read ] for more tips.

===Article Rescue checklist===
If you are the main editor of the article tagged for deletion, or are unsure if an article is a good candidate for the Article Rescue Squadron, then please ] including the article's title on ].
Here's a quick checklist of 10 steps anyone can take for articles that need rescue:
]
# '''Find and add ]'''{{spaced ndash}}It is most important that sources demonstrating the notability of a subject are added to articles when they are found. Do it properly, using the correct ].
# '''Add ]'''{{spaced ndash}}View article talk pages to see if appropriate ] have been added (] maybe be easier to browse). WikiProject banners help draw attention to articles from editors who are interested in the subject, especially if the project subscribes to ]. You don't need anyone's permission to add relevant WikiProject banners to article talk pages.
# '''Solicit WikiProject input'''{{spaced ndash}}Many articles needing rescue merely need attention from an ] on the subject. A short note on a WikiProject talk page seeking expert attention can bring remarkable results fast.
# '''Take the time to strengthen the ]'''{{spaced ndash}}The lead sets the tone for the rest of an article. Take the time to rewrite or improve the lead so that an article's title and its contents are in sync. Nothing detracts more from an otherwise notable subject than a lead that inadequately conveys what an article is about.
# ''']''' articles{{spaced ndash}}If an article about an otherwise notable subject has a bunch of unorganized content on the page, it is best to clean it up on the spot and bring it up to par with the ] guidelines. Some examples of clean-up include ], ] (adding ], ] and ]), correcting spelling, grammar and typographical errors, converting poorly formatted references with proper citation templates and adding relevant sections.
# '''Add ], ] and sidebars'''{{spaced ndash}}If they are not present in articles and their addition is appropriate, do so and complete their fields as much as possible.
# '''] articles'''{{spaced ndash}}Link and cross-reference articles with other articles, lists and categories. Make sure articles have internal links that link to other appropriate, highly related articles, which helps to clarify and expound upon information. If it is difficult to incorporate links within the text of an article, the ''See also'' section is an appropriate place to list links for related articles. Look for sources and content in related articles that might enhance orphaned articles. Utilizing the "What links here" feature in the Toolbox pull-down menu in the left column of Misplaced Pages pages provides a list of pages that link to an article.
# '''Eliminate the junk'''{{spaced ndash}}If there is ] or irrelevant content, ], or other "junk" in articles, eliminate it ruthlessly. If there is a question about the validity of content, start a discussion on the talk page and tag questionable content with ] as necessary. Don't just ignore the "junk" if its there. Conversely, it's very important to preserve appropriate content {{ndash}} as long as any of the facts or ideas added to an article would belong in a "finished" article. For more information, please refer to ''']'''.
# '''Treat articles as if they were your best achievements'''{{spaced ndash}}Make changes to articles that will turn them into articles that you would be proud of personally. We know how to do it, we just need to do it.
# '''Positively engage new editors'''{{spaced ndash}}When you find that an article has been created by a new editor (maybe their first one) or by inexperienced editors, engage them in a positive, mentoring way. Help them learn how to create and contribute better content. Engage them on their talk pages, encourage them, and most importantly make them feel ]. If there are policy or guideline issues on the table, don't just refer them to a policy link; engage them in a ] to ensure they better understand how to make quality contributions. Make sure the editor knows that merging and userfication are alternatives to deletion. Even if an article is ultimately lost, this positive engagement will help us all by encouraging new contributors to make useful, productive edits.


==] Articles and content==
===Example===
{{center|'''Note:''' To ensure the most recent listings in the pull-down menus below are displayed, click here: '''{{purge}}'''}}
You can flag an article for Rescue by editing it to add the '''bolded''' text under the AfD tag, but within the two sets of <nowiki> <!-- --></nowiki> tags, as in the below example using a ''Robin Sage'' AfD:


===Articles===
* For current articles nominated for deletion, see ] (from ]).
* For a list of all deletion debates opened on a daily basis, see ]
* For a list of deletion discussion pages, see ]
* For a search engine to find deletion discussions by topic, see ].
* For a general guide to creating articles, see ].

====Biographies of living persons====

* ''']'''
* ''']'''
Many articles have been deleted as Biographies that had been flagged for years as unsourced. The administrators who deleted them have stated that the restoration of these articles is acceptable, provided that any restored articles are then properly sourced and made fully compliant with ] (Biographies of living persons). For some background information, see . BLP articles that are properly sourced will simply be restored, along with their talk pages.


To volunteer to reference one or more of the articles that have recently been deleted as unreferenced BLPs, see ].
===Removing a rescue tag===
It is unhelpful, and possibly disruptive, to remove the rescue tag before the AfD is completed. The AfD process usually takes a week and the tag is in place for less than that. Let the AfD closer remove it when the AfD tag is removed or the article is deleted. In all cases remain ] and ] that other editors are working to improve articles.

==Reasons to retain content==
* It can be discouraging for an editor to have their article deleted, especially for new and first-time contributors. An alternative is ], in which articles for deletion can be placed into a user's namespace, providing an option to improve an article to meet Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines.
* Instead of deleting articles altogether, sometimes they can be merged with other articles (see ]).
* It can be frustrating for a reader to come to Misplaced Pages for information and inside find that the relevant article existed at one point but has been deleted. This may discourage both Misplaced Pages readership and authorship.
* Deleting a well-written, well-sourced article on the basis of ] can reduce the total information of Misplaced Pages.

Welcome to WikiProject Article Rescue Squadron. This WikiProject works toward improving Misplaced Pages as a whole by cooperating together to improve deficient articles through editing to provide necessary sources, correcting inappropriate style or tone, cleaning up grammatical and layout problems, et cetera, with the overall goal of improving the encyclopedia. This WikiProject is always in need of additional help, so feel free to join; all are welcome to help improve Misplaced Pages articles and content!

Sometimes Misplaced Pages articles about notable topics exist in poor form, badly written, unsourced – but that is not sufficient in itself to remove them from the encyclopedia at articles for deletion. If an article is about an encyclopedic topic that has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, the article may, per our Preserve policy, simply need improvement.

A significant aspect of this project's focus is on articles that may be written in poor form, lack references or need improvement, yet are backed by reliable sources and are therefore likely worthy of a Misplaced Pages stand-alone article per Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines. Some writer may have worked hard on that article. Some reader can use that article. In reaching out to work with such writers and readers, the project can help to preserve worthwhile content in the encyclopedia.

See the Rescue list to view or contribute to the project's list of content for rescue consideration.

Scope Scope

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 that are perceived as actually being notable that are going through Articles for deletion (AfD), which may:

We also help rescue content in Misplaced Pages's main namespace (refer to Misplaced Pages: Namespace for more information) and other Daily deletion debates (XfD) processes, such as Miscellany for deletion (MfD) and Templates for discussion (TfD). See Articles & content for an overview.

ARS members may also be interested in rescuing articles listed at Misplaced Pages: Listing of possible copyright problems. These articles often cover notable topics. Evaluating the extent of such problems can be difficult, but thoroughly rewriting articles with problems identified as foundational has the additional benefit of helping WikiProject Copyright Cleanup.

Does ARS want to keep everything?

No. The project is not about making policy to ensure that nothing is deleted or casting keep votes in AfD discussions. The project ensures that articles that can be written to follow Misplaced Pages policies do not get deleted when they can be rescued through normal editing, which per WP:AFD means that it was not a good candidate for deletion. The {{Sofixit}} and {{Solookitup}} templates are sometimes all that's required for a rescue.

How to contribute

See: Tips to help rescue articles and ARS Guide to saving articles

The Article Rescue Squadron WikiProject is about editing and improving articles. ARS is no different from any of the hundreds of Wikiprojects in that we collaborate to improve Misplaced Pages. If everyone who cares about preserving important topics and removing unsuitable content reads one deletion discussion per day (or even one per week), the impact will benefit all of our readers. Moreover, reading through an article nominated for deletion and adding sources and rewriting the text to remove or reword unsuitable content can help other editors decide if the article should be kept or deleted.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for Deletion – why it's important to view

Misplaced Pages articles are based upon topic notability. Sometimes articles that are nominated for deletion simply need for the topic to be proven as notable and encyclopedic through the provision of reliable sources.

Every time an article is deleted the contributions that were made to it are lost, and then only Misplaced Pages administrators can access it, but they are not necessarily experts on the article's topic. After deletion, an article's content, value, and appropriateness can no longer be evaluated by the general public. In addition, the contributor who writes a poor article on a notable topic is likely to be inexperienced. If their first efforts are deleted, they may be discouraged and refrain from creating further articles, or even editing. Everyone starts somewhere, and we should encourage better writing and better articles. Good faith efforts to contribute should be met with encouragement to improve.

This makes Articles for Deletion (AfD) a very important place; one that deserves everyone's attention.

A common axiom is that "AFD is not cleanup". Misplaced Pages is a work in progress, and articles should not be deleted because no one has felt like cleaning them up yet. Remember, Misplaced Pages has no deadline. If there's good, sourceable content in the article, it should be preserved, developed and improved, not deleted. The Misplaced Pages policy of trying to correct problems in articles through editing improvements, expansion and adding reliable sources, located at Try to fix problems, is often more appropriate than the entire deletion of articles.

The question on whether a poor but improvable article ought to be deleted is a major point of contention, and has given rise to the wiki-philosophies immediatism and eventualism. The Article Rescue Squadron was highlighted in a July 2007 Misplaced Pages Signpost, and has grown with many processes to tag, track, and list tagged articles.

Articles proposed for deletion (prod)

Sometimes articles are proposed for deletion (prod, prodded) without being sent to AfD, some of which are notable per Misplaced Pages's General notability guideline.

Rescuing drafts

Many new articles come to Misplaced Pages via the Articles for creation (AfC) process. Reviewers assess these contributions and either accept, decline or reject them. Declined drafts on notable subjects may be improved by the authors and resubmitted. In many cases, however, this does not happen and the drafts are essentially abandoned. Abandoned drafts are subject to deletion under WP:G13 after 6 months of inactivity. Since all this occurs in Draft: space and typically involves new editors, these deletions are largely invisible to the editing community.

You can help by reviewing drafts that will soon become eligible for deletion and improving them and submitting them for rereview at AfC.

Article Rescue checklist

Here's a quick checklist of 10 steps anyone can take for articles that need rescue:

  1. Find and add reliable sources – It is most important that sources demonstrating the notability of a subject are added to articles when they are found. Do it properly, using the correct citation templates.
  2. Add WikiProjects – View article talk pages to see if appropriate WikiProject banners have been added (this list of banners maybe be easier to browse). WikiProject banners help draw attention to articles from editors who are interested in the subject, especially if the project subscribes to Article Alerts. You don't need anyone's permission to add relevant WikiProject banners to article talk pages.
  3. Solicit WikiProject input – Many articles needing rescue merely need attention from an expert on the subject. A short note on a WikiProject talk page seeking expert attention can bring remarkable results fast.
  4. Take the time to strengthen the Lead section – The lead sets the tone for the rest of an article. Take the time to rewrite or improve the lead so that an article's title and its contents are in sync. Nothing detracts more from an otherwise notable subject than a lead that inadequately conveys what an article is about.
  5. Clean-up articles – If an article about an otherwise notable subject has a bunch of unorganized content on the page, it is best to clean it up on the spot and bring it up to par with the Manual of Style guidelines. Some examples of clean-up include copy editing, wikifying (adding internal links, interwiki links and external links), correcting spelling, grammar and typographical errors, converting poorly formatted references with proper citation templates and adding relevant sections.
  6. Add Infoboxes, Navigation Templates and sidebars – If they are not present in articles and their addition is appropriate, do so and complete their fields as much as possible.
  7. De-orphan articles – Link and cross-reference articles with other articles, lists and categories. Make sure articles have internal links that link to other appropriate, highly related articles, which helps to clarify and expound upon information. If it is difficult to incorporate links within the text of an article, the See also section is an appropriate place to list links for related articles. Look for sources and content in related articles that might enhance orphaned articles. Utilizing the "What links here" feature in the Toolbox pull-down menu in the left column of Misplaced Pages pages provides a list of pages that link to an article.
  8. Eliminate the junk – If there is unsourced or irrelevant content, copyright violations, or other "junk" in articles, eliminate it ruthlessly. If there is a question about the validity of content, start a discussion on the talk page and tag questionable content with template messages as necessary. Don't just ignore the "junk" if its there. Conversely, it's very important to preserve appropriate content – as long as any of the facts or ideas added to an article would belong in a "finished" article. For more information, please refer to Try to fix problems.
  9. Treat articles as if they were your best achievements – Make changes to articles that will turn them into articles that you would be proud of personally. We know how to do it, we just need to do it.
  10. Positively engage new editors – When you find that an article has been created by a new editor (maybe their first one) or by inexperienced editors, engage them in a positive, mentoring way. Help them learn how to create and contribute better content. Engage them on their talk pages, encourage them, and most importantly make them feel welcome. If there are policy or guideline issues on the table, don't just refer them to a policy link; engage them in a discussion to ensure they better understand how to make quality contributions. Make sure the editor knows that merging and userfication are alternatives to deletion. Even if an article is ultimately lost, this positive engagement will help us all by encouraging new contributors to make useful, productive edits.

Biographies of living persons

Many articles have been deleted as Biographies that had been flagged for years as unsourced. The administrators who deleted them have stated that the restoration of these articles is acceptable, provided that any restored articles are then properly sourced and made fully compliant with WP:BLP (Biographies of living persons). For some background information, see here. BLP articles that are properly sourced will simply be restored, along with their talk pages.

To volunteer to reference one or more of the articles that have recently been deleted as unreferenced BLPs, see ARS BLP volunteers.

Search all deletion discussions

SearchAbout deleted articles There are three processes under which mainspace articles are deleted: 1) speedy deletion; 2) proposed deletion (prod) and 3) Articles for deletion (AfD). For more information, see WP:Why was my page deleted? To find out why the particular article you posted was deleted, go to the deletion log and type into the search field marked "title," the exact name of the article, mindful of the original capitalization, spelling and spacing. The deletion log entry will show when the article was deleted, by which administrator, and typically contain a deletion summary listing the reason for deletion. If you wish to contest this deletion, please contact the administrator first on their talk page and, depending on the circumstances, politely explain why you think the article should be restored, or why a copy should be provided to you so you can address the reason for deletion before reposting the article. If this is not fruitful, you have the option of listing the article at WP:Deletion review, but it will probably only be restored if the deletion was clearly improper.

Frequently asked questions

? faq page Frequently asked questions To view the response to a question, click the link to the right of the question. Article help Q: Can the Article rescue squadron (ARS) save my article from deletion? A: Not exactly. First off, Misplaced Pages is a 💕 and articles can be changed by anyone and no individual exclusively controls any specific article. Secondly, if an article meets Misplaced Pages's policies on notability and reliable sourcing it likely will not be deleted. There are also alternatives to deletion which may be appropriate. The project members will do what they can as time allows. We suggest that you reference Tips to help rescue articles and the Article Rescue Squadron Guide to saving articles Q: Will ARS help fix the rest of article problems after the deletion discussion? A: In theory, No. Often, however, individual members will assist after the discussion has closed. You may want to contact a related WikiProject to see if someone there can assist. Sometimes project members completely overhaul an article but in practice most changes are incremental, and you should take initiative to add sourcing and improve the article yourself. Many times other editors will post sources to the deletion discussion; if they meet our sourcing standards then feel free to apply them to the article. Scope Q: Does ARS work to rescue other content on Misplaced Pages (other than articles)? A: While articles remain our main focus, poorly-formed encyclopedia content can be found in other namespaces. If content up for deletion, such as a template or image, is poorly-formed and you feel it can be fixed, go ahead and add it to the Rescue list, to request the ARS' consideration. Please be aware that unlike articles, templates and categories often change and are renamed to serve our readers. Q: Does ARS contribute to guideline and policy discussions? A: Similar to articles, policies and content are not exclusively controlled by any individual(s). If you think ARS should know about a policy discussion you can post a neutral notification, such as, "There is a discussion about topic at _____." on the ARS Talk page. Avoid even the appearance of telling anyone how to think or vote in the discussion— it's very important to keep the message neutral when inviting people to participate. See WP:Canvassing for clarification regarding appropriate discussion notifications. Q: What if I object to what the ARS is doing? A: ARS is no different from any of the hundreds of Wikiprojects in that we collaborate to improve Misplaced Pages. We are a maintenance Wikiproject, and as such our scope is not subject-focused (like a WikiProject focused on a specific sport, country or profession), as much as policy-focused to determine if content adheres to Misplaced Pages's policies on sourcing and notability. We try to determine if an article meets Misplaced Pages's notability guidleines as well as is it verifiable to reliable sources. We're also apt to suggest merging, listifying, redirecting and deleting as appropriate. Notifying the Article Rescue Squadron is essentially a means to request assistance with an article or content that one feels meets notability guidelines, or should be retained for other reasons. The goal is to improve articles and other content, to benefit our readers. All are welcome to help ARS improve the encyclopedia, just as at any of the other WikiProjects, which encompass a variety of views and interests. No canvassing Q: Does this project canvass editors to keep articles? A: No. The goal of the Article Rescue Squadron (ARS) is to clean up content that would otherwise be deleted. By necessity, this involves examining the deletion discussion to see what the problems with the article are, and then remedying them. If done correctly, this article cleanup improves the encyclopedia. If an article nominated for deletion is improved and retained on Misplaced Pages by this process, vis-à-vis addressing a nominator's concerns, the nominator hasn't "lost". Rather, the encyclopedia has won. Using this talk page Q:What about identifying and pointing out specific users who are nominating a lot of articles for deletion without apparent due cause? This talk page is for co-ordinating matters related to this project's purpose, which is rescuing content on notable topics from deletion. This is not a forum for dispute resolution. If there are issues with an individual user, talk to them personally or make a report or request at an appropriate noticeboard.

Reasons to retain content

  • It can be discouraging for an editor to have their article deleted, especially for new and first-time contributors. An alternative is Userfication, in which articles for deletion can be placed into a user's namespace, providing an option to improve an article to meet Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines.
  • Instead of deleting articles altogether, sometimes they can be merged with other articles (see Mergism).
  • It can be frustrating for a reader to come to Misplaced Pages for information and inside find that the relevant article existed at one point but has been deleted. This may discourage both Misplaced Pages readership and authorship.
  • Deleting a well-written, well-sourced article on the basis of what Misplaced Pages is not can reduce the total information of Misplaced Pages.
