Alex Garfin
- ... that five-year-old actor Alex Garfin had his hair and eyebrows dyed blonde to play a Russian spy-in-training?
- Source: "Alexander Garfin," TV Insider. "By five, he was playing a very young Russian spy in training in the Angelina Jolie movie "Salt" (2010) for which the five-year-old actor had his hair and eyebrows dyed blonde.'"

- Comment: Nominated on behalf of an IP editor, who usually also provides the QPQ, but they have forgotten this time. This is their reminder :-)
The history is a bit convoluted and to save you the bother trying to decipher this, here's what has happened: the article was created in draft space, didn't pass an AfC, but some editor moved it to mainspace anyway (28 Jul 2022), it was moved back into draft space within an hour, and eventually deleted (27 Dec 2024). Upon request, the bio was restored to draft space (14 Feb 2025), expanded by the IP, and accepted through AfC yesterday, when it was moved to mainspace.
Thariqziyad wrote a chunk of content back in April 2022, hence I shall include them as one of the authors.

Overall: 
Not only is the Filmography section completely unreferenced, there are two tags that need to be resolved. I don't know if it's an issue with my computer but this reference just shows the subject's name followed by Biography with no details. SL93 (talk) 23:55, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. As to the refs, I've added them to the tables .. good catch. All were previously in the text, but some had been deleted. As to the tv guide ref .. try googling tvguide.com alex garfin. As to the tags, an editor seems to have thought I was someone I wasn't - who was blocked. And templated and deleted material as a result of that mistaken belief. I expect that will sort out. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:B988:8BEF:5DBE:59F6 (talk) 02:57, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- I believe the editor above was dissatisfied with the fact that the TV Guide source did not present sufficient WP:SIGCOV of Garfin. About the deletions I've made, I only removed sourced content that were WP:COPYVIOs, which you should watch out for a little more. Also, you indeed are not blocked from Wikipedia, if you are who I think you are. Badbluebus (talk) 18:26, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- I meant that the source shows white space minus the title. It works under a Google search for some reason. SL93 (talk) 19:37, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
