Why relist Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DOS 0? We seem to have a clear consensus, nobody is disputing the deletion. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 23:49, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

This old one right here Becky Love, now she was a finalist in a comp but what comes off as odd is the lack of refs and the fact the page creator has the same name as her. Not sure what to say about this old article. Wgolf ( talk) 04:46, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Sorry don't think I ever really used it that much till today-which I thought you said you could put it for articles like that. So what is no footnotes used for then? Wgolf ( talk) 23:54, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Okay didn't realize that those don't go if there was a dead link-though looking at the history of all of those articles they all had the same links and never changed so I was trying to help the articles. Wgolf ( talk) 04:33, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! Some of the articles though were stuff like links to something like Yahoo's main page or something like that so I deleted the link all together since those seemed a bit off. (Now ones I am not sure about are ones that link to really old PDF files) Wgolf ( talk) 04:37, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
As is this case with this old article I just found Linda Finnie, which I just put as a one source (which is what it is), but what should we do about links like that, when they say require subscription? I think maybe just keep it until someone gets more or something. Well I don't see anything wrong with the article its just the source is all. Wgolf ( talk) 22:57, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

I noticed you relisted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fiend (film) (again). A while after the first relist I wrote that I was withdrawing it (since there had only been two, opposing, votes and I had changed my mind anyway) and removed the AfD template from Fiend (film) and posted that it had undergone a deletion discussion with the result of "withdrawn by nominator (keep)" on the talk page.
So, relisted? Eman235/ talk 08:04, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello I saw you editing and decided to say hi :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Good userz ( talk • contribs) 16:59, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of soups, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bisque. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I have searched for a guideline or policy on whether a list article needs to have references, but I have not been successful in that search. In past years, when I have started a list article, no one expressed a need for references. However, more recently, some list articles that I have started have received tags indicating a need for references. (Please see "
List of non-American non-fiction environmental writers" and "
List of climate change books".) Because most list articles in Wikipedia seem to be without references, references seem to be unnecessary, but I am hesitant to remove the tags without mentioning a guideline or policy to support the removal. I have noticed that you have started many list articles, so you seem to be especially qualified to answer my question: Where does Wikipedia have a guideline or policy about whether a list article requires references? (I am adding your talk page to my watchlist.)

Strictly speaking, as far as I can see, this AfD should have been closed as "keep Paper Buildings" because that article is the one that was actually nominated for deletion. It wasn't redirected during the course of the AfD, it was moved and rewritten. James500 ( talk) 12:44, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

I want to create a request for comment with some long term members of the Article Rescue Squadron.
This request for comment would argue that the only way to reverse the negative trend of deleting other editors good faith edits would be for Jimmy Wales to step down.
