Antheads

This one is not at AFD, but it was redirected back in 2007. I tried restoring it and rebuilding it, but it was reverted three times by NPP as supposedly being non-notable. I don't know, what do you think of my latest try?[1] If that's not enough to make an article, do you see any more sources to improve it? 207.229.139.154 (talk) 15:30, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

This looks like a clumper/splitter debate. Would the content be the nearly the same in the main article vs split? Would anything would be lost in the main? There are advantages to clumping, it will get more page views for example. If you feel strongly about splitting you could open a thread in the main article talk page explain why splitting is better than clumping. Or, work to implement the clump. If the clump is also rejected then it's a problem. GreenC 16:32, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Fair enough, I guess I will merge it for now and then we can see what happens in the future. 207.229.139.154 (talk) 19:18, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Clean up and re-submit to AfC please. The creator was accused of paid editing. The article has been flagged as needing clean-up particularly for NPOV if applicable.

Very likely notable term in LGBT history that somebody knee-jerk nominated for deletion. If there’s anything you can do to improve the article then great. Dronebogus (talk) 03:09, 17

User:Dronebogus If you are going to post here, please place {{subst:rescue list|~~~~}} at the deletion discussion page. It is an ethical requirement. It exists as the top of this page. If you are going to participate here, please follow the rules. You and WP:ARS don't want to be accused of WP:Canvassing. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:47, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
User:Dronebogus last time you did this, I fixed it, and you chose to ignore it. I didn't this time. Cleaning up for you is not part of my job description. Happy editing. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:28, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

User:MrsSnoozyTurtle Maybe. Ask User:Dronebogus if you think this is so important. I don't.

AfD link (the discussion is in its late stages, and the article has been improved since the nom) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United Nations in popular culture (2nd nomination). Randy Kryn (talk) 17:24, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

I previously copied it over to https://cultural-phenomenons.fandom.com/wiki/United_Nations_in_popular_culture with other popular culture articles being deleted. I see dozens of articles of this type still exist. Category:Topics in popular culture. There used to be a lot more of course. Dream Focus 23:38, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
Have put this on this projects talk page but also relevant here: There has been a full scale culling of entries at astronomical locations in fiction (and articles like United Nations in popular culture) using the same ridiculous criteria that a page and each entry must mention and cite the specific topic "_____in fiction" or it gets deleted. This has been going on for months now with no stopping the editor, TompaDompa although many have tried reasoning with them. See Saturn in fiction and its history page as only one of probably dozens of examples where Wikipedia's wonderful historical record of human space accomplishments, and how they've been reflected in society by humanities literature and film cultures, have been virtually destroyed by nonsensically restrictive interpretation of its guideline language. And see {{Astronomical locations in fiction}} and its history page for another feel of the nonstop culling. This is a crisis of the deletionists stretching badly worded popular culture guideline language and essays to decimate not only articles but entire topic trees. This slow-and-fast rolling deletionists dream is probably the worse misuse of guideline language I've seen on Wikipedia and I ask members of this wikiproject to get involved. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:29, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
Randy Kryn: if you're interested, there's still an ongoing discussion about the scope of MOS:POPCULT. Given your experience at AfD on those topics, perhaps you might still be interested. Pilaz (talk) 18:26, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Little Big Time

New article. Not technically a "rescue." This is not yet at AFD, but it needs sources badly, needs improvement, and should be fostered and kept, IMO.7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:52, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

We improved it substantially. Thank you.
Alas, would have been a great WP:DYK, but for the age of the article. Had been moved to main space on 10 December, and I did not stumble on it until it was already stale by DYK standards. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:21, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
Its now been turned into a redirect. Dream Focus 04:59, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
There are two reliable sources (the book, and Record Collector). Everything else is self published ie. fan sites and blogs. The two RS, there isn't much content. IMO it could go back to Draft, give it more time to develop. The show can still be part of Wikipedia, nothing lost, in the bio article vs standalone, it would probably get more views that way anyway. -- GreenC 05:42, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
Ridirects. An expedited deletion. A way to achieve the same result as a deletion, without bothering with the process or consensus.

An editor may contest a draft by moving the article back to mainspace. Of course at that point they may put it up for deletion or try redirecting it again. NemesisAT (talk) 16:33, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

NO CONSENSUS
The result was no consensus. I wrote up a lengthy closing statement, and had it frustratingly erased by an edit-conflict. So I'll summarize by saying that arguments on both sides here are generally based in policy, and cannot simply be set aside; reasonable editors can and do disagree on whether the sources provided here are substantive. Given the high participation, there seems to be no purpose served by relisting. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:39, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls

Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls is not at AFD, but it was redirected from this version with the claim that it was "Not notable on its own."

User:8.37.179.254, User:7&6=thirteen: shouldn't a rationale be presented too, per the rules of ARS listed above? Pilaz (talk) 19:35, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
You could quote the rule and its implicit ethical obligation.
And what is preventing you from saying that? I was simply trying to politely correct the problem, without beating the matter to death.
Indeed, I fixed it at the AFD, and asked for cooperation in the future.
If citations are in order, you could have done this yourself.
If folks are going to post here, they ought to peruse the advice at the top of the page. Indeed, given the consistent nattering about WP:Canvas and WP:ARS, compliance is the minimum we can hope for. It is a simple prophylactic to an ongoing debate. Since they are apparent newbies here, they may be unaware of that perceived and often articulated controversy.
And if you can do it better in the future, please do.
So what exactly is your problem? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:55, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
I was just asking why your rules are not being enforced, especially since this is clearly an experienced user: 6.9k edits and clearly not their first ride at ARS. Maybe "my problem" is that failing to provide a rationale is certainly closer to WP:CANVASS than providing some. Pilaz (talk) 21:58, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Really? You are entitled to your opinion, YMMV. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 23:44, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Pilaz (talk) 00:19, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Pilaz, I agree. There is little purpose to having a rule if it is not going to be followed. MrsSnoozyTurtle 23:26, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
We all agree. The "Project Code of conduct" and the advisory notice at the top of the page ("Place the {{subst:rescue list|~~~~}}" – see above) should be followed. And this listing has been brought into compliance when {{subst:rescue list|~~~~}} was put on the deletion discussion. By me. So generalized attacks on WP:ARS are misbegotten, and not warranted based upon any of this. Indeed, I have not seen an avalanche of WP:ARS regulars at that discussion; the "canvasing" dog whistle is a canard here.
You contend that User:8.37.179.254 "is an experienced" editor. But not at WP:ARS as far as I know. Two edits two years ago at ARS is limited and remote. He isn't a regular here. So general wikipedia editing can still leave one innocently ignorant in a particular forum. It is a gigantic encyclopedia. And correction, not condemnation, is in order.
I note that other editors have not followed the rules.
But there is only persuasion, not an enforcement mechanism. And the "CODE OF CONDUCT" and the advisory note were complied with, albeit not by User:8.37.179.254. It is an ethical direction. Hopefully he/she gets the message and acts on it in the future. I am confident it will be avoided in the future. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:10, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
it's good to hear we are all in agreement.

Which "attacks on WP:ARS" are you referring to? Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 04:17, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

7&6=thirteen, why is this listed as "kept" when the outcome was No Consensus?

Also, could you please answer my question above? Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 21:34, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

There is a long history of some users preferring to say Keep based on the outcome from a "rescue" perspective ie. it still exists. Some prefer the closer outcome. Some prefer to say both. Some might say one first and the other second, or reverse order. It does not matter. Sometimes people leave different or competing outcomes, then the other person will come back and change the first one, or then add a block close template etc.. -- GreenC 22:39, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
GreenC, thank you for the explanation, it is good to know the history.

7&6=thirteen, could you please answer my question above? Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 11:27, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

You are welcome. Re: the above, he infers that the general attacks is "the canvasing dog whistle" (in response to "closer to WP:CANVASS") ie. accusations of canvassing. For example, the only two delete votes in the AfD, after the ARS posting, accused ARS of canvassing. General attacks on ARS like this are common. Like in the DRV, ARS is accused of the "majority" of Keep votes. It was later learned most of the keep votes actually came from a WikiProject, not ARS. In fact I suspect scope_creep and Stifle may have been motivated to delete because of ARS based on their rationales and attitudes, we often see this. This noticeboard can generate Keep and Delete, it is an open forum is why there is no consensus for canvassing and why these general attacks never stick. I applaud 7&6's efforts to try and reduce these accusations it benefits everyone. The accusations appear to have boomeranged in the DRV, it was a bad idea to ever bring it up, it helped no one. -- GreenC 16:20, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks again, GreenC, I appreciate your efforts explaining this. Since 7&6=thirteen seems unwilling to respond for some reason, we will have to assume that their intention was along those lines. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:25, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello 7&6=thirteen, could you please respond to my questions above? It would be good to get your perspective, to avoid misunderstandings in future. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 04:25, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Mrs. Snoozy Turtle, he said he was not talking about you. It's hard for me to see you were "blaming" anyone. By politely bringing it up you were seeking to fix the problem. In the future you could avoid any misunderstanding by either adding it yourself, or not addressing anyone in particular so they don't feel blame ie. responsibility. The forum is collaborative. -- GreenC 06:02, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
GreenC, thank you for the advice. Yes, I did try to word the request politely so that there was no suggestion of blame. FWIW, the reason I didn't add the notification myself is that I don't think I've done that before, so I thought it best to leave it to someone who has, in case there are some tricks to doing it correctly.

llustration of Rapunzel and the witch on a 1978 East German stamp

I never address you by name. If you feel you are within the group and policy (that's your choice), maybe it will alter your approach in the future. Or not.
Since you have been a long time participant at WP:ARS, I well know you know about putting the template on the AFD discussion pages. In fact, this conversation started with your acknowledgment and invocation of the policy. I immediately acknowledged my error. So there was no need to be pedantic to you. Others needed correction and guildance (which puts into perspective something I said that you quoted at me) — I did contact that editor at his talk page and he said the message was received and understood (en passant, you have been on the front lines chanting about WP:Canvassing and WP:ARS in days gone by, so you presumably are sympatico with getting posters to put notices on AFD discussion pages.); but lecturing you about the obvious will not help the process. Nor can I make you edit; we are all volunteeers here. You might consider WP:COAL, WP:Trolling, Wikipedia:Don't eat the troll's food, WP:Dead horse and WP:Griefing. You need to take a look at Extinction. Perhaps then you will understand why I choose not to rise to the bait or respond in kind. Name calling and calling me out early and often here is needlessly tendentious, IMO. (This is not the first time — I feel like Rapunzel.) Neither will I lecture you; nor will I demand a response. So too, I've said all I intend to say, so don't waste time pinging me (it just needlessly clutters the page) to smooth your ruffled feathers. Happy editing. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:37, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Thirteen, this feels quite like an "offence is taken not given" justification. Yes, I am concerned about WP:CANVASSING, especially since you continue to list AfD discussions here where you have !voted keep.

Could you please explain how the link you posted to the Bedfordshire section relates to your claim about being "sympatico" with the AFD notices? I don't understand the connection.

No my feathers are not ruffled, in fact I don't have any feathers. Could you please refrain from personal statements like this, and stick to discussions about policy and articles? Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 08:20, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

New Chapter

NO CONSENSUS
The result was no consensus. After extended time for discussion and the spilling of a great deal of electronic ink, we have a clear absence of consensus for deletion (and a clear absence of consensus on whether sources provided are applicable). It is noteworthy, however, that there is a substantial contingent favoring redirection to the parent company (which is indisputably highly notable itself, and is capable of having independently notable subtopics), and that substantial expansion of the article was undertaken, tracking with an increasing shift towards keeping the article as the discussion progressed.

List of United States cities by area, List of the largest counties in the United States by area, List of Canadian provinces and territories by area

NO CONSENSUS & DELETE
List of US cities by area: The result was no consensus. I was very close to closing this AfD with consensus to delete, due to notability concerns per WP:NLIST. The article itself contains no references to sources that discuss the topic of US cities and their areas, and why the area delineated by their borders is relevant or significant. The vast majority of this discussion didn't focus on finding or identifying sources that could be used to demonstrate the notability of this topic, which is, of course, required in order for any article to exist. However, towards the very bottom of the discussion, User:Newimpartial made a good faith effort to find a few sources. While these sources are somewhat tenuous in my opinion, I believe that they are just far enough over the line to cast doubt on whether this topic is non-notable, and push this discussion into "no consensus" territory. My advice for the editors working on this article would be to expand your search for sources that discuss the grouping of US cities by land area and include them in the article. Otherwise, this article will be at risk of being nominated for deletion again in a couple months' time (which, if it happens, should focus on a deeper analysis of the available sources to demonstrate notability). —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 22:38, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello. The ARS template needs to be added to these AfD pages please, so that the admins can be aware if WP:CANVASSING as occurred. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:30, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
At 16:22, 14 June 2022, before you posted here, an editor posted in those AFD telling people it was mentioned here already. This editor had never posted here before, so didn't notice the bit about posting the template in the AFDs. Anyone who notices its missing can post it though. Dream Focus 14:14, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
The template should be put on. We have been over this before. Many times.
There was no "canvassing." Take it somewhere else; give it a rest.

7&6=thirteen, when someone posts the AfDs here straight after !voting "keep" in them, the intention is quite obvious. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 10:58, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Yes, it is obvious: to get WP:ARS to improve the articles in the hope that they will be worthy of being kept. WP:HEY, WP:Before, WP:GNG, WP:Preserve are all legitimate arguments; and article improvement is a proper response to an AFD. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:22, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
That rings more than just a little bit hollow when the accompanying comment (since removed) was These noms make no sense, its basic statistical information. I don't see questioning of the accuracy of the statistics, additional sources aren't necessary. What is needed are experts to tell the echo chamber of ghouls voting delete about the validity of these lists of information. TompaDompa (talk) 17:43, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Hadn't seen the comment. I am surprised. Somebody got overwrought.
It takes all kinds; WP:ARS should not be judged on one editor's missteps. Your overgeneralization means very little in the grand scheme of things. Indeed, you get to post it here, and I don't endorse all of what you imply. We hopefully will learn from it, and amend our comments and actions in the future.
And all two of those articles were kept, one redirected. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:09, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Two "no consensus" (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States cities by area and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of the largest counties in the United States by area) and one "redirect" (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Canadian provinces and territories by area) is a pretty far cry from all kept. TompaDompa (talk) 18:25, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Yes, and the above post suggests that ARS still considers "No consensus" (which is a poor outcome for the encyclopedia) to be a win. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:40, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

@MrsSnoozyTurtle: I think that ARS regulars would very likely regard me as a critic, but as I have been watching these discussions, I have come to feel pretty strongly that you need to drop the WP:STICK. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:12, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
