W:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron – Rescue list

Some references have been brought to the AfD. Nomination disputes the quality of the references in the article. Can we fix up this Thai food photographer's article? Or is it destined for deletion? The recipe calls for more RS. Lightburst (talk) 14:57, 30 August 2022 (UTC) Template:Archive bottom

Beast of Bevendean

Expand article with more citations. Duck Dawny (talk) 11:46, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Interesting subject. I was able to add a bit. Interesting to look at the see also section I added. Apparently there are quite a few Cryptids or big cats with the "Beast of..." moniker.Lightburst (talk) 16:05, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Lake Five (Montana)

A decent size lake in Kalispell Montana. Can we turn this stub into an article with newspapers and books? Lightburst (talk) 15:29, 24 August 2022 (UTC) Template:Abot

Coastal Grandmother

I recently created an article for Coastal Grandmother, a fashion trend that has been in the media over past year. It is a brief stub, but I think the amount of media attention justifies the article. Any help in finding sourcing would be appreciated. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 23:02, 10 August 2022 (UTC) Template:Abot

I just voted to delete. Article is about a writer who was active in the 1980s. Currently there is no evidence of notability. But there is unconfirmed content in the article that she wrote two plays(or maybe books?). If anyone can prove that to be true, she might get a pass at WP:CREATIVE. I'd love to be proven wrong and be able to change my vote. CT55555 (talk) 03:40, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

One of my first litmus tests for authors is LibraryThing ie. [1]. It's not a reliable source being crowed source, but that's what makes it valuable to see what the general population thinks in terms of number of holdings and rankings (LT has great stats). In this case we can see her most popular book is Teot's War which is ranked 188,542 among all books which is somewhat notable (most books rank in the millions) - enough evidence to keep looking. It was published in 1987 and seems to be a slow burner getting steady but low readership over time. One blog post called it "overlooked". There is one review by Fritz Leiber. Blood Storm has one review. Both in Locus. Not much for notability from the same magazine which normally reviews many books anyway. -- GreenC 06:02, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. I've searched in all the usual places for reviews, but could only find similar to the above. I got the same impression about the two possibly notable books, but only passing mentions or blog/fan-site type sources. CT55555 (talk) 21:00, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Added a few more things and cleaned up a bit. Found a reliable source in Charles Gramlich who confirmed she is a "forgotten writer". Notable for being forgotten? Anyway, even if it's deleted the page will be cached somewhere like Deletionpedia not a total loss of effort. -- GreenC GreenC 00:29, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Good work. I've scored out my delete as I reconsider. It is starting to look like her first book Teot's War is notable, which could give her a pass. I'm borderline weak keep. I also added some sources for verifiability, but don't do much for notability. CT55555 (talk) 00:56, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

UP Halcyon

Few English language sources. There may be sources in native Filipino languages, which I do not know. Organization appears valid and notable, and article is short and well-written without puffery, but merely lacks sources. Jax MN (talk) 16:15, 5 August 2022 (UTC) Template:Abot

List of books considered the worst

Has a lot of sources but inclusion criteria is poorly defined and list needs massive trimming; WP:NOTCLEANUP nom. Dronebogus (talk) 11:52, 1 August 2022 (UTC) Template:Abot

List of dog fighting breeds

A notable list which can be cited and improved? Lightburst (talk) 02:23, 29 July 2022 (UTC) Template:Abot

Busy work

Some did work on this article last time it was nominated for deletion and tagged for help in on this Rescue list. Seems like a notable concept so some should be able to help find sources to review and improve it. Dream Focus 07:06, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Anti-Life Equation

Another article that in its previous AFD was tagged for help for the Rescue Article Squadron. Clicking the search link for reliable sources has a lot of results to sort through. Dream Focus 07:06, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Nomination withdrawn. Not yet closed. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:25, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

John Mason (schoolmaster)

The previous AFD was on the Rescue list, and ended in keep. Such a generic name and most sources are from India. Does anyone want to help with this? Template:Ping found things that convinced people last time. Dream Focus 11:33, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

I see the nomination is now withdrawn, good work. It's amazing to see AfDs I worked on 10 or more years ago come back up occasionally!--Milowent • ^hasspoken 12:48, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Deleted Per the closer: "The result was delete. This individual appears to be right on the knife edge of notability. Despite concerted efforts to stretch the definitions of WP:NACADEMIC to declare this individual notable, I find rough consensus here that she does not quite pass those requirements just yet." 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:29, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
