The overlap here is too good to be true: Articles for deletion/Kim Taehyung has سعيدس and Sitalima, and Mrchurang takes care of a newer version of that article, Articles for deletion/Kim Tae-hyung (1995), with contributions by Sistari1. Articles for deletion/Tearfully Beautiful has سعيدس, Sistari1, and Mrchurang, who all vote keep. More overlap in Articles for deletion/Park Ji-min (born 1995) (Mrchurang and سعيدس). More importantly, all use the exact same non-arguments in those AfDs and punctuate them in the same way. I won't spell it out, but the native English speaker sees it rightaway. So I'm blocking these all as ducks and will leave this here to be filed, since I have the feeling there may be more. Drmies (talk) 06:18, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Can you please also check ? This user created an article whose AFD discussion those users commented on, and the article has a "flow" similar to those users' comments. Thank you! Shinyang-i (talk) 07:37, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I found several other users who have contributed solely or mostly to the articles Drmies listed above, all with no user or talk pages. Can they be checked, as well?

 * Shinyang-i, while I see some measure of fishiness, I do not see such strong behavioral similarities that I can legitimately call it meatpuppetry, for instance, certainly not after CU revealed no connection to the main culprit here. If I had to guess I'd say these are all fan accounts--but that's nothing new in this area. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 15:35, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 * ✅: سعيدس, Mrchurang and Sistari1. Sitalima is too old for CU, and is the oldest account here. There are many similar accounts on their IP range, but the range is busy, and thus I can't tell for sure who else is a sock without behavioral evidence. The second group (Baets et al.) is unrelated, either to the first group or among each other. Materialscientist (talk) 13:01, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and thanks for the quick service. One thing: سعيدس seems to be the oldest, going back to July 2014--which is unfortunate; I'd rather have this archived under a non-Arabic name. :) Easier to type and alphabetize... Drmies (talk) 15:31, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I've tagged all of the confirmed accounts. Mike V • Talk 19:45, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
