Worlds of Ultima Online
Worlds of Ultima Online – AfD closed as "merge to Ultima Online".
Worlds of Ultima Online was nominated on January 27th 2012. The AFD is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Worlds of Ultima Online. If anyone is familiar with this game, or has read reviews about its worlds in magazines or notable websites, please help add additional sources to the ones I already found. DreamFocus

Is there any reason this content should really be deleted? The AfD seems to be upset that its in a separate article, however, there's no question that Ultima Online is extremely notable, and there are a slew of articles trying to cover it in a reasonable way.--Milowent • hasspoken 14:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
I renamed it to
List of worlds in Ultima Online since it is a list article, and mentioned how many other such list articles for worlds of notable series existed in Wikipedia, it the same as character and episode list. DreamFocus

Abraham Bryan
Abraham Bryan – AfD closed as "Refocus and move". Article was moved to
Abraham Brian farm house
Closed as Refocus and move.
AfD in Category:Gettysburg Battlefield. Abraham Bryan, or Brian was a free black man who owned a farm on Cemetery Ridge at the time of the Battle of Gettysburg, and with other blacks fled the area for fear of being enslaved by the Confederate troops. --DThomsen8 (talk) 17:43, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
I've added pointers to articles and books mentioning the man. The AfD nomination is based on the biography guideline, but the article may work if the focus is placed on the incident instead of the person. Apart from my Keep, the AfD currently had only Delete !votes based on the lack of sources. Diego (talk) 10:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
The article's AfD closed as "Refocus and move". The article was moved to
Stacked (TV film), see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stacked (TV film). Stacked was a 2008 film/TV pilot that resulted from a large Scottish competition and was aired on Channel 4, I think it meets WP:GNG, have added 3 substantial sources already, but there may be more out there.--Milowent • hasspoken

Shoshana Grossbard-Shechtman
Shoshana Grossbard-Shechtman AfD closed as Keep.
Shoshana Grossbard is a professor of economics at San Diego State University. Created 11 Jan 2012 by me. --Uncle Ed (talk) 21:47, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Prodded, improved; tagged, improved; then as if in response to the tag-requested improvement, nominated for AfD.
Three others jump in to save the article: Hrafn, Msrasnw, NorthAmerica1000, SummerPhD
AFD closed keep. Stifle (talk) 10:14, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
I removed the irrelevant information complained of in the AfD [7]
Hrafn now pitches in to clean up the article [8] - despite having agreed with the prod and with the AfD nom.
Subject appears notable. Some discussion perhaps whether it should best be treated in a separate article or with other musical ornaments, but deletion is inappropriate. I weighed in adding possible sources to my AfD comment.--Milowent • hasspoken 22:29, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Union Gettysburg veteran Emmor Cope was detailed to annotate the battlefield's troop positions... but it says nothing whatever about the Cope Truss. Should there be some mention of the tower there?--DThomsen8 (talk) 13:55, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello, would you please help me rescue this article before they delete it? Thank you JunoBeach (talk) 21:45, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
A quick google news search doesn't reveal anything other than a passing mention in 2007? You have any other news sources to demonstrate notability? That's what we need here.--Milowent • hasspoken 22:33, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi, some citations have been added by CGN members and the article is beginning to expand. The article has plenty of room for expansion, but it will take time. That is why I have asked the rescue group to participate. HELP :) JunoBeach (talk) 21:45, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
I took off speedy deletion yesterday, but I see its now at AfD, so you'll have seven days to discuss it. But reasonable speaking, you have a tough case here, I can do a lot when I have sources, but there's not much I can find for this. You need press articles, etc., where the forum is discussed/profiled, etc., to show that it is notable.--Milowent • hasspoken 22:15, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
TLG Communications – Vladimir Kush AfD closed as keep.
i hope im doing this right. Vladimir Kush is a famous artist who ive heard of and i tried hard to fix the page but people have ganged up and removed all the references ive added and even said my keep doesn't count. i don't know what else to do and i found this. maybe im doing everything wrong on this site i don't know but no one is participating except people who seem to have problems with me. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vladimir Kush thanks and tell me if i did anything wrong please. Bouket (talk) 17:49, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Yes, this is where to post rescue candidates now. I'll take a look. I'll note that Kush is not unique in being put to AfD--many living artists (painters, sculptors, etc., I mean) have Wikipedia articles created that don't last, usually because they don't have sufficient coverage in news sources. Its unlikely to be personal about you as an editor commenting on the discussion.--Milowent • hasspoken 18:09, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
The article could use expansion. Added {{bio-stub}}. I've added the following sources to the article:
Flemming Rule, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flemming Rule. The article is new, the concept appears to likely be notable, but the current content needs improvement and additional sourcing. AfD will close soon (nominated January 16), so act fast if you are interested. Alternate option would be address within Aid to Families with Dependent Children. The content and existence of the "Flemming rule" is certainly notable.--Milowent • hasspoken 16:56, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Comment - I've cleaned up/rewritten the article, removing copyvio problems in which prose was verbatim copy/pasted from sources. The following sources have been added to the article:
