== Restoration of John Sarkisian ==
Hi,

I'm writing in the hopes that you will restore the Wikipedia page for John Sarkisian. Here's the red link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sarkisian

Sarkisian is Cher's father (her given name was Cheryln Sarkisian), and he's noteworthy to anyone who wants to link Cher to her Armenian heritage. He was, by most accounts, not the best father figure, but that doesn't diminish the effect he had on Cher's childhood, and more importantly his role as her connection to Armenia. To this day, Cher speaks Armenian because of him, and her philanthropy to Armenia wouldn't exist if he was not her father. Information on Sarkisian is hard to come by on the web, and the Wikipedia page in question was one of the few resources available. If you could restore the page, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks so much,
Rafi Guroian

:I know Cher is of Armenian ancestry. It is common knowledge. Unfortunately being related to a notable person [[Wikipedia:PEOPLE#Family|does not confer notability]]. Each person has to [[WP:PEOPLE|be notable on their own]]. The article was deleted way back in 2010 for lack of [[WP:RS|sources]] to assert [[WP:N|notability]]. If you had an [[WP:ACCOUNT|account]], I could [[WP:USERFY|userfy]] it for you to work on, but that cannot be done for anonymous users. If you have [[WP:V|verifiable]] sources you can start an article on this person. Good luck. -- [[User:Alexf|Alexf]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Alexf|(talk)]]</i></sup> 14:39, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

== [[User talk:Classicphotobooth]] ==
Hey, Alexf, I'm looking at this guy's unblock request, and I'm thinking of accepting it. I'm guessing you blocked based on the edit filter hit? I've asked him to take a look at [[WP:COI]], [[WP:EL]], and [[WP:RS]], and agree to avoid linking that website again. Do you have any thoughts? [[User:Writ Keeper|Writ Keeper]] [[User Talk: Writ Keeper|&#9863;]][[Special:Contributions/Writ_Keeper|&#9812;]] 22:11, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
:Ok. Go ahead. Yes, it was the filter. The website they linked to matched the user name. It was a clear case of spam the way I saw it. Let them continue. I'll add them to my watchlist to make sure they do so within policy. Maybe a change of name might be in order too. (I'm short on time right now and I have to go, else I might to it myself). Thanks. -- [[User:Alexf|Alexf]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Alexf|(talk)]]</i></sup> 22:28, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

==Abaran==
Dear Alexf, you deleted the page [[Abaran Bangalore]]. Abaran was started in the year 1935. It is one of the oldest jewellery house's in the city of Bangalore. Abaran is the first [[ISO 9001]] certified jewellery house in the state of [[Karnataka]]. This wiki throws light on the History of Abaran jewellery and how it was first to get the ISO standardization certificate for its Quality. other admin told me to add third party reference. So i did it. Just now i added two third party references in the wiki. *[http://www.deccanherald.com/content/269897/F As modernity meets tradition...] this link is for an article in Deccan Herald News Paper. *[http://www.artofjewellery.com/latest_news_updates.php?art_id=1803 Forevermark] this link is to a famous jewellery website www.artofjewellery.com. So please undo the article. [[User:Rainmakersindia|Rainmakersindia]] ([[User talk:Rainmakersindia|talk]]) 10:44, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
:The Deccan Herald article is a promotional piece. It does not indicate why the store is [[WP:CORP|notable]] enough to merit an encyclopedia article. So is the artofjewellery article. Both talk about Forevermark. Neither one relates to the store, its history and its significance. You say it is significant, the oldest, etc., but you have not shown it. -- [[User:Alexf|Alexf]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Alexf|(talk)]]</i></sup> 13:00, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Why did you delete the Jakub Giersza page? I'm not asking you to restore it or anything like that but I was just wondering why you did that. In case you don't remember, he was the actor who played Dominic in the Suicide Room film.[[Special:Contributions/108.77.6.22|108.77.6.22]] ([[User talk:108.77.6.22|talk]]) 10:50, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
:Er, I've no idea without a [[WP:REDLINK|red link]] as requested in the edit notice at the top of this edit page. Also it would be nice if you complied with requests and added a new subsection, so these messages do not get lost in the clutter. It makes no sense to tag a message along an unrelated subject. Why would you go to pains to hide it? Why post in the first place? I took a quick look and could not find a deleted article of that name, and honestly I do not have the time to do your research for you, therefore the request in the edit notice for a link. -- [[User:Alexf|Alexf]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Alexf|(talk)]]</i></sup> 16:07, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

== Need a hand ==
Hey, Alex. I was hoping to find a neutral admin whom I had no interaction with, but everyone I checked turns out to be inactive. :-) Since we haven't had much on-Wiki interaction, I figured you were the next-best thing. :-) I got a request at [[User talk:SarekOfVulcan#Could you review something?]] that I am far too involved in the topic, on-and-off-Wiki, to deal with. Could you take a look at it when you get a chance? Thanks. --[[User talk:SarekOfVulcan|<span class="gfSarekSig">SarekOfVulcan (talk)</span>]] 18:54, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
:Uh, I am not qualified as I do not know much if anything about Freemasonry and I do not routinely do article reviews. I took a quick look and see it involves more than one editor among many articles on the Freemasonry space. I am thoroughly unqualified, and it would take a long time for me to research and see what are they talking about and who's right, time I do not have. Sorry.
::Ok, thanks for looking, anyhow. I was thinking that a lack of familiarity with the subject would actually come in handy in this case, but lack of time, I understand. :-) --[[User talk:SarekOfVulcan|<span class="gfSarekSig">SarekOfVulcan (talk)</span>]] 23:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Alex. You blocked this user for having a promotional username, but after viewing their unblock request and doing a couple of searches, I've come to the conclusion that their username doesn't actually violate the username policy. I've therefore unblocked them under their original name (though I have pointed them to [[WP:CHU]] in case they're interested). I'm happy to discuss this further if you want to, just leave me a note.

Hi. You recently blocked this IP on my request - thanks. However, I'm not sure a 31 hour block is appropriate for vandalism conducted over four months.

== The elvis main wiki article ==

The elvis article in the beginning needs to read elvis is considered the greatest artist of the 20th century . Here are credible sources to validate that statement

1) in 1992 , the riaa proclaimed elvis as the greatest recording artist of all time "

2)in 1998 , Sony bmg issued a press release stating the following : unequivocally, elvis aoron presley is the biggest selling artist in the history of popular music "

3) the smithsonian declared elvis the greatest entertainer of the 20th century

4) TV guide on there cover declared elvis the entertainer of the century

== New page for Guerilla Tea ==

Dear Alexf,

The page for game developer Guerilla Tea was speedily deleted about a year ago as there was not enough content on the company back then to allow for a page. The company has enough of a track record now to warrant a page. I just thought it best to contact since I'm looking to create a new page with the same title and Wikipedia basically directed me to get in touch before doing this.

Hi Alexf,

I'm writing in the hope that you'll reinstitute the page you deleted in '09 about William (Willy) Claflin, the singer/songwriter/puppeteer/performer. He's a prominent individual in the children's storytelling crowd around New England, and you can find some of his videos on youtube as evidence of such, or much of his work available for purchase on the internet.
