... but all of but one of the links tagged in this edit have been archived already. There's no reason to tag those citations as dead links since the archives still exist. As for the last one, That website is still active, and the link still works.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:58, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Deleted artist page
Hello, I am Jordan Hollywood's PR manager. Our article was deleted (Understandably, it was half empty), However I'm here with the artist and management from the label right now ready to fill in the rest of the page. May I ask that you either restore the page or send me the source code so I may fill it out completely.

Thank you Joe Mcneil Jordan Hollywood's PR manager. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Char2000 (talk • contribs) 04:49, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Request for the Removal of the Page titled as, 'Vikrant Bhargava'
Good Afternoon.

I am a representative of Vikrant Bhargava. I have been monitoring the site for quite a while and after waiting for some of the false information to be rectified. Vikrant Bhargava has requested for the removal of this site.

I've tried, in the process, you've accused me for vandalism. Please could you remove it ASAP. To avoid any dispute.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apple9530 (talk • contribs) 11:40, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello .It is true that the subject are allowed n some cercomstances to ask for the deletion of an article about him or her to be deleted, governed by policies. You can not simply "blank" an article, that way will only be reverted. You need to send in an email to [mailto:info-en-v@wikimedia.org info-en-v@wikimedia.org] describing in detail what you want and why you want it, remember to send links. I, personally, can not assume you are, or have the permission from the subject to act on his behalf, that's for the email-people (OTRS) to decide. Good luck. <span style="background: turquoise;font-family: 'Segoe Script', 'Comic Sans MS';">(t) Josve05a  (c) 15:27, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
