Restoring another page

I want create article real person Ali Nawaz Channa So Help me AzChanna (talk) 02:56, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

I'll advise you to read WP:BIO and WP:NACTOR about notability, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources that are needed to prove the notability. Being a real person is not enough to get an article. Also, please read WP:COI about editing subjects you are close to - you are actually the subject so far as I can see. Wikipedia is not for writing about yourself. It is an encyclopaedia, not a directory like LinkedIn or social media like Facebook. I would think you are also the blocked editor User:Ali Graphi, so you should appeal the block there first, as I am blocking this account as being a sockpuppet of that account.
