Passes the duck test with flying colours. Single-purpose accounts focused on creating articles about the Russian music band Шериф (Sheriff) and its members. The first two created within hours of each other. Highly disruptive editing, including cross-namespace page moves and page blanking. Editor(s) refuse(s) to engage. — kashmīrī  TALK  11:54, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I have requested CheckUser on this one, though only for sleepers, given the number of accounts involved and the way some have so few contribs. &#32;Mako001 (talk) 14:28, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Анжи Земл, AngelaZeml19 and Zemlanskaya very likely mean the same person (an Angela Zemlanskaya). If two of them are CU-confirmed socks to the master, I see no purpose not to block them. — kashmīrī  TALK  22:41, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
 * EDIT: An "angiezeml1981" is the website administrator of Terentiev's homepage. An obvious case of COI on top of misusing multiple accounts. — kashmīrī  TALK  22:44, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

 * for assistance with the Russian usernames. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:06, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Анжи Земл and AngelaZeml is basically the same name. К.Терентьев is K. Terentyev, which is clearly Konstantin Terentyev. Константин Терентьев и группа "Шериф" means Konstantin Terentyev and the Sherif Group. The latter two must be blocked on the basis of the username (the same reason I have blocked Шериф). I can do it if there are no CU reasons to block.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:14, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I don't see any strong reason these need to be cu-blocks, so if you could handle it all, that would be great. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:16, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure. I blocked and  indef on the username basis. The others, whereas they are probably the same person, I do not see any immediate reason to block.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:04, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm blocking/tagging those accounts I confirmed. I'll leave the others for now, but we can always come back and take another look if they are disruptive in the future. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:25, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I took another look at the CU data. There's no reason К.Терентьев shouldn't also be confirmed, so I'm doing that and renaming the case for that account. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:51, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Wow, I'm not sure what I was looking at yesterday, probably just the confusion caused by the cyrillic. In any case, looking at this again today, it's clear that, , and  are all confirmed.  There's some small differences in the CU data for , so tagging them as suspected. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:10, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

created draft Draft:Konstantin Terentyev and then moved by Debr8 to mainspace. Only interested in this article subject/Sheriff band like previous socks. Both accounts are already blocked for sockpuppetry on ruwiki. – NJD-DE (talk) 14:14, 19 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Added another CSD template with another rationale and a salt request. — kashmīrī  TALK  17:22, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Ducks, with further evidence not mentioned above, which I won't specify for WP:BEANS reasons. I have blocked the accounts and deleted the article. I prefer not to salt it, because experience shows that in this situation all that achieves is that the next sockpuppet creates it under another title, and we can keep a watch on the old title, but we can't watch every possible alternative title they might use.
