 * . Could an admin ? Thanks! GABgab 03:20, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure salting is a good idea: as seen in the AfD the name is on the borderline of notability and an article will be become warranted as soon as one more bearer of the name gets an article here. And if it were salted, that would encourage creation at a title that is an obscure spelling variant and not on the watchlists of editors, so it'll be easier to avoid scrutiny. – Uanfala (talk) 08:45, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Pages salted. Articles can be submitted through WP:AFC to verify notability before it gets pushed to the mainspace, and if these pop up at spelling variants, we can take care of those too. The point of salting a page is to discourage recreation, though, and often it's enough. ~ Rob 13 Talk 13:23, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

New suspected socks: I tagged each of them for speedy deletion (G5). As I expected per previous pattern, an IP 217.76.76.207 comes along and removes the speedy tags.
 * User:SebastianRoberths05 created Laura Shalabayeva
 * User:DanielRichards08 created Anastasiya Zakharova
 * diff1
 * diff2

This is the same pattern as these accounts:
 * User:JulianLeeberher09
 * User:AlanGoldmann08


 * User:87.247.32.232
 * User:JosephLyberti07
 * Other IPs, but I can't see the histories anymore :(

Which were trying to create articles for these non-notable junior tennis players in Kazakhstan:
 * Diana Zhantemirova
 * Laura Shalabaeva (note slight difference in spelling)
 * Violetta Romaniuk
 * Diana Kuanysh
 * Anastasia Zakharova (note slight difference in spelling)
 * Tamara Cherkasova
 * (all have been deleted)

The newly-created "articles" are usually copy-pasted code lifted from bona-fide articles of actual notable players, but with the name/birthdate/birthplace changed to the junior player's name.

Re-created deleted article of Draft:Diana Zhantemirova. This article was created [several times in the past], each one by a blocked sockpuppet of Оразбаев Касымбек. This player was never notable and quit juniors when she was 16... over 3 years ago. I think it's obvious that Оразбаев Касымбек is back in business. Could it be coincidence? Possibly, but this looks like a duck and I request a checkuser on this brand new user and the draft page deleted. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:49, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Looks to be the same articles created by User:JosephLyberti07 who was confirmed as a sock of JulianLeeberher09. This was discussed and brought to the attention of WikiProject Tennis back in 2017, Here and also Here. These new articles were also created with the proviso that they are notable because of Fed Cup participation yet at the official Fed Cup website there is no mention of them at all. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:38, 27 October 2018 (UTC)


 * note - the following was added to my own talk page by administrator User:Nyttend. MariaJaneSambora99 just recreated Diana Zhantemirova, which under the title Draft:Diana Zhantemirova has been deleted several times as a G5 creation of Оразбаев Касымбек.  I found this one because it was tagged for speedy: it looks to me as if Оразбаев Касымбек saved the content months ago, and now upon recreating the page, s/he forgot not to include everything that had been saved before.  Even in the unlikely event of a user creating an actually new article like this on her first edit, with infobox and navbox and lots of categories, the new user definitely wouldn't be including a speedy deletion template atop the article. I suspect that CU would be able to tell us whether MariaJaneSambora is the same person as Adriani Linn Johnson. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:56, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
