- E.3 (talk) 12:11, 2 July 2019 (UTC) Often content can be very easily improved, and from my experience deletion often scares away new editors.

Articles shouldn't be deleted if they might do good, they should just be improved, even if drastic measures are taken and we have to 'Send Superior' instead of the 'town ambulance system,' which for me is another word of saying more people working more time on the project. 01:32, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

- Citizen-of-wiki (talk) 00:57, 24 August 2009 (UTC) The deletionists are not evil people they just get a little carried away sometimes. Someone needs to provide a balance to prevent Wikipedia from being deleted off the face of the earth. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." By Burke, Edmund in his "Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents and the Two Speeches on America." [ Published 1770. Sixth Edition, Dodsley, 1784.]

- Dhartung | Talk 21:52, 23 July 2007 (UTC) This is a lot of what I do already. I vote delete on things, but many times salvageable articles are deleted just because nobody cares to try. Nominators who fail to do research first are only part of the problem.

- Dream Focus 18:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC) When reason fails, societies break apart, and civilization crumbles around them. We must strive to stop the insanity here and now, not just to put out the fires others keep starting, but to rebuild what they have destroyed, restoring what was lost to us, so that the wikipedia can once again be what it was meant to be. Wiki means "casual", it an encyclopedia where anyone can edit, and add to as they see fit, without fear of overjudgmental people picking apart every little thing they do, and trying to erase it if it isn't just perfect by their standards.

- A20anna One of the things I think that can be improved is when a new person like me joined, I was immediately accused of something called sockpuppet. I was very hurt by that, and the funny thing was I did not even know what it was! They just posted this huge horrible sign on my talk page. I joined because of a few issues on page. So I will be a big defender of the Rescue Squad and its efforts. Happy Editing Love, Anna (talk) 05:06, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

- Dc76 12:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC) - Hi. I just saw the article about forming of this discussion group on Signpost, and I would like to join in. My reasons for joining are the ones presented above e.g. by DGG and Fuzheado. I suggest to start something like "AfR" (Articles for Rescue), where any person can nominate articles. The idea, as I understand, would be 1) to have a short discussion about what can be done with the particular article to improve it (or to recongnize it was unsalvageble), with specific propositions followed by 2) concrete actions ("I can do this. Here I am doing it. Now could you plz do that.") and 3) a final "vote" to see if the article has reached a level where it can be moved to mainspace.
- DHowell 22:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC) Sounds like a great idea. I'm also thinking of starting an "Article Adoption Agency" for articles which are useful and/or interesting (which as we all know won't save them from deletion) which get deleted despite the best efforts to rescue them, to find another wiki home to which they can be transwikied.
- dil (talk) 21:10, 23 February 2009 (UTC) Innocent until proven guilty - let those who would delete articles justify it.

- Ikip (talk) 17:26, 23 February 2009 (UTC) I forgot to sign up myself :) What I love about the Rescue squardon is the indirect results: we help the wikipedia project retain new editors (who are the unintended victims of the vast majority of AfDs) by letting new editors know that their contributions are meaningful and valuable.

- Random Fixer Of Things (talk) 18:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC) I am amazed by how many good (or potentially good) articles fall foul of PROD, SPEEDY and AFD and it seems that people not getting involved is what allows this to happen - "The only thing necessary for deletion is for good men to do nothing..."'
- Teeninvestor (talk) 01:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC) I've become very concerned with the actions of some users who simply delete content that can easily be improved.

- Naglfar or Gleipnir? (talk) 21:51, 4 February 2008 (UTC) Good, an organization that is opposed to throwing out stub or small articles. My thanks. Great articles don't just appear, they are formed and edited up to great articles.
- Nemogbr (talk) 23:05, 21 January 2010 (UTC) I would prefer an article to be improved rather than deleted. It is counterproductive to simply delete.
- Neon5162 (talk) 18:44, 29 March 2009 (UTC) one of my articles was deleted for supoosidly advertiseing a gov program all i was doing was typing in what it offerd what was thier how many people it could hold stuff like that.

- Jreferee - I am particularly interested in AfD'd articles where there is a huge disagreement over whether a topic is notable and nobody takes any steps to actually reference the article. In other words, where everyone so eager to talk the talk, I'm willing to walk the walk.
