I believe article has already been saved/sources added/article rewritten, 1st AfD ended five weeks ago. More eyes welcome, plus help finding sources from early career/socializing. Gleeanon409 (talk) 17:51, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

I think some just avoid those sorts of articles. Looking up sources to read about that subject means you have to read about that which you most likely do not want to read about. Dream Focus 03:18, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
As a rule, the reliable sources rarely get into the physical aspects of porn. And Slater got into the directing and music composition which is a lot less sexy.
If nothing else finding sources that might help is also useful as I can probably get copies from WP:RX. Gleeanon409 (talk) 04:06, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

A further clue that may help, “Film director John Duffy”, might be his birth name. Gleeanon409 (talk) 17:57, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

The first three were just brief mentions but I was able to add the fourth. Thank you again! If anyone finds more on “John Duffy” that might coincide with his being an editor/columnist/musician/model/director please let me know! Gleeanon409 (talk) 05:18, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

A fun research project on a long-defunct brewery in Washington, D.C. I've had success searching the Internet Archive for both "Abner Drury" and "Abner-Drury Brewery"; newspaper databases also fruitful.

Here, we are mainly concerned with rescuing articles from deletion but this tends to mean that we're usually working on weak, obscure topics. But even the most vital topics are in need of assistance and here's a topical example. Stonehenge is in the news and so I just nominated it at ITN. But already there's some opposition, saying that the article doesn't have enough references. As the ARS specialises in such work, members might like to try this high-end, vital topic for a change. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:42, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Huh? 110 references isn't enough? YGBSM 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:02, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
WP:ITN/C is a strange place. For another recent example, Carl Reiner is another vital topic with even more references but this wasn't enough for some and so the subject was denied an entry in ITN's list of recent deaths. But over a million readers read his article regardless. Go figure... Andrew🐉(talk) 12:40, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Ellwood Walter was President of the Mercantile Mutual Insurance Company in New York for 28 years. The New York pilot boat Ellwood Walter, No. 7 was named after him. He was a trustee for the Nautical School for the harbor of New York to educate boys in seamanship and navigation. He was Vice-President of the New York Seamen’s Association. He was awarded a silver medal and money by the American Benevolent Life Saving Society of New York.

On 20 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Albanese Candy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Albanese Candy makes gummy confectioneries in the shape of worms, snakes, butterflies, khaki-colored soldiers, and jet fighter aircraft? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Albanese Candy. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Albanese Candy), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

2020 United States racial injustice reckoning

KEEP
The result was keep. The question is whether this is original research by synthesis. Numerically, we have 11 delete/merge and 7 keep opinions. That's no consensus so far. In terms of arguments, I think the "keep" side has the substantially stronger ones: Czar has provided numerous references in support of their view that this is not something made up by Wikipedians, but discussed as a topic in reliable sources. The subsequent "delete" opinions do not engage with these sources, e.g. to attempt to show that the "reckoning" discussed in these sources is something other than the "reckoning" discussed in this article. Instead, almost all merely assert original research without further arguments. That's not much more than a pure vote under these circumstances, and accordingly I must give it very little weight. As such, I am of the view that, going by strength of argument, rough consensus is to keep the article (possibly bordering on no consensus, but the outcome would be the same). This does not prevent editors, of course, from agreeing to rename the article if this is deemed necessary. Sandstein

KEEP
The result was keep per SNOW, pace to LongRoad, but no point in wasting people's time (although it should be noted that this closure is in spite of !votes from the ARS, not because of them: they are no more convincing than usual!). But there has, apart from that, been much good work done from other editors. I suggest the sources now apparently available, particularly those in Bangladeshi, are utilised in the article to avoid the otherwise unavoidable impression of fancruftdom.

This is an amusing analogy for Wikipedia – a complex, shifting reality which keeps changing in a protean way but never makes complete sense while none of the versions and revisions ever really go away. The best summary I've of it seen so far is that "it's all true!". What it really means that the authors and editors can do whatever they like – just like Wikipedia, eh?

The result was redirect to penis size; the arguments for disambiguation are correct, that the navigation needs to be served, but this can be done with or without a primary topic.

Eastern Rail Services

DELETE
The result was delete. The arguments for delete have been made with reference to policies and guidelines, and I am seeing detailed analysis of how particular sources do not meet those requirements. The keep arguments on the other hand have tended to merely assert the company is notable without detailed argument. Where specific sources have been put forward there has been a failure to explain, with reference to guidelines, how they meet the requirements, and the claims have been refuted in detail.

I just noticed this. You're making it look may more diabolical than it actually is. These are SEO companies. They specialise in enlarging their online footprint and use backhanded tactics to do so; culture pollution. A deleted Wikipedia article won't erase them from history. This energy would have been better utilised at other underrepresented areas; corporates are already way overrepresented. Regards, TryKid [dubious – discuss] 10:40, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
It looks like there's a lot of prior history that I don't understand understand behind all this. But do you really need to talk in coded language for all this? Have you considered that it is the ARS that looks like a Star Chamber/Secret Society and not the AfD voters and nominators? TryKid [dubious – discuss] 10:50, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
User:TryKidThe article's deletion history speaks for itself. And so does the attempt to cover it up. You should examine it yourself and make your own judgments. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 10:59, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
Is it possible to cover up anything on Wikipedia? All AfDs and PRODs I made are searchable through edit summary since all of them are made through Twinkle. There's also a AfD stat tool. I accept that I made a mistake with The Hitavada AfD, I didn't understand policies well at the time. I understood my mistake pretty quickly but didn't know about withdrawing AfDs and assumed the process is to let it run and it'll kept anyway since a very experienced editor has voted keep. Apart from that, I think all my votes and nominations are fair judgements in good faith, and I will stand by them even if those SEO articles are kept. I'm not some mega deletionist, I'm a small time editor with just 4k edits. I've also voted keep a number of times (33%). I think you've misunderstood me. Regards, TryKid [dubious – discuss] 11:19, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
Anyway, my point was that there is likely no diabolical group of people who want to delete everything from the encyclopedia; just some people trying to keep it free from junk. Your selection of those specific AfDs suggests I'm part of this group of "usual suspects" when I've barely participated in a dozen AfDs. TryKid [dubious – discuss] 11:54, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
If the shoe does not fit, don't wear it. Sorry that you were offended.
As you say, you are not a regular participant at AFD. Your experience may be different than mine, so your generalization reflects your limited view. 'Your mileage may vary', so to speak.
I note, however, that you have stereotyped and implicitly condemned participants at WP:ARS. I would submit that they too deserve the presumption of WP:AGF. If you are giving out indulgences, you ought to be consistent. But you'll have to figure that out on your own. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:31, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
I didn't want to reply to this but... can an editor get away so easily after casting aspersions if they do so in a "blind item" style against some unknown "usual suspects"? I understood that you didn't refer to me, but who did you refer to? Participants in the Moz AfD? Light2021? Devokewater? Accesscrawl? Bearian? Perhaps more than one of those. Do you intend to decrease AfD participation by antagonising the participants? If it is so, that won't really work; battleground mentality is no good.
