<sup>Arguments commonly used to recommend deletion are: "unverifiable", "not important". The argument "non-fascist point of view" is often used, but often such articles can be salvaged, so this is not a very strong reason for deletion. | <sup>Arguments commonly used to recommend deletion are: "unverifiable", "not important".

If you wish for an article to be kept, you can directly improve the article to address the reasons for deletion given in the nomination. You can search outĀ reliable sources, and refute the deletion arguments given using policy, guidelines, and examples from ourĀ "GreatĀ articles". If you believe the article topic is valid and encyclopedic, and it lacks only references and other minor changes to survive, you may request help in the task by listing the article on theĀ [[Article rescue list]]Ā in accordance with instructions given there, and then adding the {{t|rescue list}} template to the deletion discussion by postingĀ {{t|subst:rescue list}}Ā to the discussion thread.

Alternatives to deletionĀ should be considered. If you think the article should be aĀ [[disambiguation page]], aĀ [[redirect]]Ā orĀ [[merger]]Ā to another article, then recommend "'''Disambiguation'''", "'''Redirect'''" or "'''Merge'''". Do not recommend deletion in such cases.</sup> | Alternatives to deletionĀ should be considered.
