Talk:Angelina Danilova

Word of caution
Hi, I wanted to let you know about the circumstances regarding the creation of this article. --Ellpicre (talk) 13:50, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yesterday, User:AngelinaDanilova9612 was caught engaging in vandalism in multiple wikis regarding the subject of this article, Angelina Danilova, who is a South Korean celebrity. Subsequently the account, its sockpuppet, and multiple IP addresses were globally locked/blocked.
 * One of the things that the user did was uploading pornographic images edited with Danilova's face and including them on her article. For a fuller account of what the user did, see meta:Special:Diff/20026568.
 * The user also created Draft:Angelina Danilova. Its submission was declined because it did not meet notability standards and was a "dire autobiography". Perhaps this new article is significantly different from it to merit better treatment; I'll leave it to the English Wikipedia community to decide.
 * And today, User:NT9W created this article on enwiki, and User:PM2.6 created its counterpart on zhwiki(zh:安吉丽娜·谢尔盖耶夫娜·丹妮洛娃).
 * And the external links sections of both articles contain links to some unofficial Blogger, Tumblr, Pinterest, Flicker, and DeviantArt accounts which all contain the same drawings and pornographic images edited with Danilova's face, some of which had been uploaded to Commons by the locked accounts (now deleted). It leaves one wondering if all this could be a coincidence.
 * If this article is indeed by some sockpuppet account(s), it would meet the Speedy Deletion criterion WP:G5.
 * Final note: delete any links to Blogger, Tumblr, Pinterest, Flicker, and DeviantArt as you see them added, since they contain abusive images and are not official anyway.
 * Not sure what the conflicting apparent aims of the various actors here indicate, but there certainly seems to be a promotion campaign going on. Over on English Wikisource an author page was created for this person (who has no works eligible for enWS), and the Wikidata item for them has every conceivable property added (their blogspot site, their personal email, even an academia.edu profile, etc.). Either there are two campaigns going on, one pro and one con, or it's just one campaign that considers even the pornographic stuff and related accusations to fall within "All PR is good PR". But in any case there's definitely WP:PROMO going on here, across projects in the Wikimedia sphere (did I mention there's a whole category of images on Commons?), and across platforms outside it. Someone needs to get on top of this (how on earth did NPP fail to pick this up?), and I don't have the capacity just now. Maybe a note at WP:COIN or WP:BLP/N (ANI seems excessive)? --Xover (talk) 09:05, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I would suggest this is by an individual rather than some PR campaign. Judging by the edits made on kowiki, these users do not seem to speak Korean, which would be strange if it were a PR job for a Korean celebrity. But who knows. I am not familiar with the way things are done on enwiki, so I would appreciate it if someone could take proper measures when they have time. Thank you for your attention. --Ellpicre (talk) 09:36, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
