"There are a wide variety of magical spells in the world of Slayers, ..."; cited as fancruft this is, just a list from a novel/manga/anime series. Lede would have to be rewritten to assert scope and notability, IMHO, and, of course, citing some sources would help.

AfD is a bit split as the article is quite a mess; sources - 94 links and counting - are there but the whole article needs a rewrite for clarity and sorting who is involved and how. Asserting notability upfront needs to also occur.

Thoughts
What does everyone think about just moving the talk page section for ongoing rescue articles to a talk sub-page and transcluding it at the top of the discussion? I think that would keep editing cleaner and allow for a distinction between discussions about the project and discussions about the articles. FWIW, I think discussion about the articles is a great idea (much better than listing them on the project page).

I don't think I would support this, If AfD was working correctly, very few articles would need rescue, perhaps if this project grows exponentially or folks at AfD can't convince certain editors to rethink their using AfD outside the scope of intent this may make more sense.

If your proposal were to happen (a CSD waiting period) the project could be expanded to include those articles, but right now ARS is simply for articles that have made it to AfD. My guess is tht it would depend on the time period involved. CSD's often happen too quickly to get enough people to look at them for rescuing. Jim MillerSee me |

– Article deleted. From the AFD, "...the arguments favoring deletion were based on established guidelines, such as
WP:NOTABILITY, while some of the arguments in favor of keeping the article appear to be based on the misconception explained at
WP:INHERITED."
--Craw-daddy
Added to list or not, I feel it's important to point out that contributiong to the discussion is not the point of the ARS, and indeed goes counter to that point. This is the suicide squad that improves articles during AfDs, and I'm proud to note that the last request (okay, that I know of) for keeps made on this page drew none. But we can take a look at the article, sure.--

– From the AfD closing statement: "This article does not meet notability criteria and thus has a serious problem. At the same time, numerous editors have expressed their opinion that this is an exceptional case where the GNG is insufficient as a test of notability and their opinions cannot be discounted here." So this article still needs serious work.
