Hi Sandstein, Please could you kindly restore Aisha Muhammed-Oyebode page to my userspace for me. There was a discussion on this here /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Aisha_Muhammed-Oyebode before it was deleted and you had suggested anyone who was to work on it to have it userfied,i would like to continue work on it and improve it with better Reliable Sources hence my request. Thanks. Ebubay01 ( talk) 10:53, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
i'm improving and certainly not the best of writers but i'm certain you will see a difference if you have me work on this one. Ebubay01 ( talk) 18:59, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi Sandstein, i was wondering if you've had a change of heart regarding my request. i would appreciate your prompt response on this. Thanks. Ebubay01 ( talk) 09:01, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi Sandstein,
I want to protest the end result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Graffiki. It has rewarded an end run around MfD (by Legacypac), where there is proper resistance against deletion of others' userpages without good reason. Unilaterally moving someone else's userpage to mainspace to see it deleted there.
The page should be undeleted and put back at User:Abstractmindzent/Graffiki.
This is under discussion at Wikipedia_talk:User_pages#Moving_userspace_drafts_to_mainspace_to_test_notability. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 21:51, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Hey I just noticed there's a draft Draft:Fudzilla of the deleted article created by the same user, which appears to be an earlier version of what was eventually published. I'm not sure if it qualifies for deletion too or if anything should be done, but since it's basically the same content as what was deleted and is going to face the same issues regarding a lack of sources, I thought you should know about it. Thanks. Elaenia ( talk) 18:40, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Can you move the article to draftspace. I don't want it in my userspace, as there should be multiple editors. Nfitz ( talk) 21:16, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Do you think it would be appropriate to relist this for a third round? All of the "keep" feedback came within the last 24 hours of the the three-week listing and was not backed by policy at all. czar 22:17, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I created the page named Sino-US Marriage Culture but it was deleted on March 10th 2016. This page I created is a project for my class, so if anything is not meeting the requirements of Wikipedia, please let me know if there's anything I can do to fix it, and I will create it again. Thanks so much. Looking forward to your reply ChangQingjing ( talk) 01:56, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I had once written a value that was deleted and I want to see what was written there it's called "criminal spin". where can I see it? can I see the history of the page? Thank you, Moran — Preceding unsigned comment added by מורן חסיד ( talk • contribs) 14:59, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
May I ask administrator to send me? and if yes how can I see who is administrator? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by מורן חסיד ( talk • contribs) 09:51, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
you didn't understand me I want to see it because I want to improve it not to publishe it again. I didn't save it before I published it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by מורן חסיד ( talk • contribs) 08:53, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
Recently a page was deleted via discussion of a "non notable person". Now the page has been remade with a new variation to which i tagged as G4 criteria. Please do look forward as the page may get new variations though! SuperHero ● 👊 ● ★ 06:32, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi Sandstein,
My attention was brought to the deletion of Capital FEMI's wiki page created by a fan. I first came across the page and I was gathering information and facts to edits and correct few things in the post, only to find out it has been deleted. Please I will love to know the reason why the page was deleted and if it is possible to recreate the page for the Artiste. It is a shame that a celebrated and very good musician like Capital FEMI did not have an official Wiki page that we lovers of good music can add info and achievements like we do for other artists on wiki. I will be glad if you can respond and attend to my talk.
Thanks Sandstein

Hello, Regarding Lagertha I see your point in the quotes, but then the article on Amazons is wrong. It only describes. Neither have the term 'Amazon' never been used on shieldmaidens in Scandinavia. Warming ( talk) 10:12, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you are the deleting administrator for the article Animal Charity Evaluators. I would like to keep working on that page so that it can be improved and published when the topic becomes notable enough. Would it be possible to obtain the source for the last version of the article before it was deleted? Riceissa ( talk) 01:59, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
I disagree with the result of this discussion. A mere mentioning of the foundation of PHRMG and a few citations from a PHRMG report in the Washington Post of 1997 [1] cannot possibly be the basis of a WP article. -- Qualitatis ( talk) 11:19, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

Hello Sandstein, you closed this AfD discussion arguing "The result was delete. After discounting all the sockpuppets, nobody wants to keep this". Actually I voted for Keep and I am not a sock. I understand you had reasons to delete article but describing me as a sock was not appropriate. Berti118 ( talk) 20:27, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Dude ... where to start. First off, I really appreciate and honor the role of the admin, and I'm glad that you took the time to read the "walls" of text. The apparent reason for the merger, lack of sourcing, is not borne out by the multiple references to independent sources, as required in WP:N. Moreover, as was explained in the "walls" of text, there were significant encyclopedic/conceptual reasons why whirling needs to exist, and then can be disambig to sufi spinning, tanoura, and so on, rather than the opposite. The intervention and decision to merge took a few pages that worked quite well on their own and vis-a-vis one another, and bundled them into an incomprehensible and conceptually slippery mess. I'm sorry, but the result of the merger is chaotic, and there is NO easy way to undo the mess other than to ... recreate the original standalone pages. Mein Got! What really irks me is that it was clear from the discussion that the contributors were doing multiple good faith sourcing edits, reorganization edits, and so on. The abrupt deletion/redirect, without a nomination for speedy deletion, was really uncalled for. I respectfully ask, yet again, to restore the pages and give proper time for development. These are volunteer efforts, let's remember. I was spending the majority of my time defending against deletion noms from suspected socks, to the great detriment of the page. And the result of the deletion/redirect nom is ... seriously ... gobbledygook on the Sufi spinning page, which literally has almost nothing to do with the Tanoura and whirling pages, save tangential connection as movement practices. Prior to initiating a DRV, I ask that the merger be undone, and work can continue. If Dab (dance) can stand due to pop references, and hundreds of other dance genres can stand on WP due to pop support, numerous dance festivals' feature of whirling and numerous media appearances definitely support a standalone genre page. Viapastrengo ( talk) 18:23, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
How can the decision to not delete this article be reviewed? It is insane that it exists. It is notable in exactly zero ways. It is a clear example of Sanders supporters being more active online than other candidates and pushing through their bias. This cannot be allowed. Wikipedia cannot take sides in a political debate. Eightball ( talk) 01:04, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
Can I now ask why you deleted it, despite the changes I made to it, in consideration of what was discussed in the Page Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bear_versus_bull? Leo1pard ( talk) 11:59, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi there,
I'll be recreating the deleted page with additional reference points. Can i be assured it will go through a review and allowed if compliant with guidelines? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjsmart ( talk • contribs) 12:18, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Re: this. Did you even look at the page I changed the redirect to? Valerian is a disambiguation page that includes both Valyria and Valyrian languages. I would think this is more appropriate. - theWOLFchild 09:10, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Re this. "Not appropriate" according to who? There are other variations on the spelling there, why didn't you remove them as well? The purpose of a dab is to help differentiate. "Valerian" and "Valyrian" are extremely close words. People could easily search out one while really looking for the other. How does your deletionism help in any way here? - theWOLFchild 09:41, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

The article Bear versus bull, which was deleted on March 26 following an AfD discussion, has been recreated (as "Bear versus bull (Reality)") by the creator of the original article, in a move which clearly violates the established consensus. Seeing that you closed the deletion discussion, I felt that you should be notified so that the correct course of action may be taken. Thanks!

A similar issue to User talk:Sandstein/Archives/2016/March#end run around MfD:
An issue with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Regalia (Condominium) that isn't obvious: The content at Regalia (Condominium) was moved from User:ARQLA/Regalia under the edit summary "stale draft found" (not by the author whose namespace in which it resided). Per the guideline about such moves WP:STALEDRAFT "If suitable for mainspace, move to mainspace". If the content gets nominated for deletion and subsequently deleted, it clearly wasn't suitable for the mainspace.
So, I would request you restore the content to User:Aaaloco/Solitaire & Mahjong, but I assume you feel the same way as User talk:Sandstein/Archives/2016/March#end run around MfD. Just discussing it here first as I'm considering taking it along with some other content that has been inappropriately moved to WP:DRV. The issue is abuse of process with regard to other actions, not yours. I appreciate the large amount of administrative work that you handle, and don't want to take up your time.
