 * Delete twofold (and 2nd time). 1. undisclosed paid editor against TOU 2. 0 or 1 RS fails GNG Widefox ; talk 22:37, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * comment I will stay out of the !vote for this nomination. However, I will point out that User talk:Karlhard post on his talk is not conclusive evidence of him being a paid editor. In fact, two details of the post itself point to the contrary: 1) the fact that Furvah contacted him on his talk and 2) they left an email address. The question to ask is, if they've been in contact before outside of Wiki, why not use their original channel of communication and use his talk instead? And Furvah seems to think Karlhard does not have their email address... which is further support that they have not spoken prior to Furvah's post. In short, I think Karlhard had no idea that Furvah would offer money. The fact that Karlhard has edited a very large number of article of no commercial value also supports this hypothesis. Also note 's userpage which states he is rich. Granted self-description is nothing, but the evidence as a whole is overwhelming. — Code Hydro  23:17, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Karlhard claims not to know them . I'm assuming good faith of the subject/client ... 1) understandably clients don't know how WP works else they would edit themselves, and part of that is they are likely to not know undisclosed paid editing is against the TOU (and/or that the editor hasn't disclosed), and their username isn't allowed. There's nothing wrong with paying editors (according to the rules), their edit seems quite innocent, naive even. 2) My reading of the message is that something's gone wrong with the off-wiki channel forcing on-wiki for whatever reason that is (stale job?/lost details/closed account/not responding) 3) How would the subject know this was being created in draft space unless there's been some previous off-wiki coordination? It isn't possible to AGF for both, as we see communication proof of the relationship between the two parties.
 * In isolation it's a bizarre message. In fact, due to 1) I've seen this sort of message before. 4) there's edit overlap with other undisclosed paid editors e.g. User:Emilysantoss, and 5) creation of promo articles. 1-5 is strong. Widefox ; talk 00:51, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
