Suspected sockpuppets
As the oldest account (Feb 2022) Ρίτα βεριφαιντ is listed as suspected master. On 2 April Darkezz created draft H808Beats as their first ever edit, Ρίτα βεριφαιντ moved draft to mainspace having just made the minimum required 10 edits. The article was Listed at AfD and all three chimed in with keeps - Nutrich's keep vote being the first (and only) edit on En Wikipedia Josey Wales Parley 14:29, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Darkezzz and Nutrich seem obvious enough as they are clearly SPAs designed to vote stack at Articles for deletion/H808Beats along with Zekrad. None of them have any edits at all outside of this person. The account with Greek letters does overlap at H808Beats and was the one who moved the article into mainspace and, along with the others, !voted at AfD. Requesting CU as, if there is socking involved, then comments should be struck at the relevant AfD. Can't rule out WP:MEAT if CU is unsuccessful. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:10, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

The username of the sockmaster is written in Greek. The IP is from Greece and has made a whopping one edit: a !vote to keep the H808Beats article. The sockmaster has a history of creating socks for the explicit purpose of votestacking that very AfD, so this appears to be socking-by-logging out. The edit made by the IP occurred after the user was blocked for sockpuppetry.

I am not requesting a checkuser on the IP because they can't publicly comment with respect to any technical judgements. However, I'd request that the IP be behaviorally blocked and that the Wikipedia account's block for sockpuppetry be expanded. — Mhawk10 (talk) 21:38, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Yes, probably. But the IP is stale for blocking now, and I don't think one probable-but-not-definite bit of logged-out block evasion is strong enough grounds to extend the Ρίτα βεριφαιντ's block. However, I will ping Sir Sputnik to ask if they feel otherwise. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 04:21, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The intent was always to keep the master account blocked for the expected duration of the AfD. With it now closed, and the IP clearly inactive, I also see no need for further action here. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:49, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
