882antoine and 81282quebectelevision have both already been blocked, as my earlier investigation in the process of planning to file an SPI request revealed that both usernames had already been linked as faux-nez (French for sockpuppet) and blocked on the French Wikipedia. So no particular action is needed on them directly — the primary question is whether they can be definitively linked to 22bijoelf22, a user whose contribution history to date consists almost entirely of removing prod or AFD templates from the bad unreferenced articles that were first created by 882antoine or 81282quebectelevision.

 * Done as requested Dreamy <i style="color:#d00">Jazz</i> talk to me &#124; my contributions 13:36, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * So this is without a doubt an undisclosed paid and promotional sock farm dedicated to editing topics related to Quebecor television shows and personalities. There's quite a bit of cleanup to be done in the main space and draft space, but this is all we can do here at SPI. <span style="color:black;text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px white, -4px -4px 15px white">Mkdw  <span style="color: #0B0080;text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px white, -4px -4px 15px white">talk 18:58, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've already deleted all of the unsourced drafts that I was able to find, as well as the one unsourced article that was listed for prod — but I left the pages that still have open AFD discussions alone, and I haven't necessarily reviewed all of their edits to existing pages to determine whether any of them were problematic.

Short version: Annie-Soleil Proteau (links). Long version: Not on en-wiki yet, but on commons commons:special:contributions/223213grace has uploaded commons:File:Annie-Soleil Proteau.jpg, commons:File:Annie-Soleil Proteau.jpg, commons:File:Le Banquier de Julie Snyder.png, commons:File:Julie Snyder (1).jpg, and commons:File:Alice Morel Michaud.jpg. On Wikidata, wikidata:special:contributions/223213grace includes creation and updates to wikidata:Q104650237 which is about a television show called La tour, which is now airing on the Canadian network TVA. The interest in TVA television shows and in certain Canadian TV personalities, in particular Annie-Soleil Proteau, got my attention. Also, already-3-month-blocked IP has made overlapping/related edits on WikiData including creating wikidata:Q104650170 "Annie-Soleil Proteau". See wikidata:Special:Contributions/184.160.70.92 for full list. That IP has also recently edited the Russian version of Julie Snyder, ru:Снайдер, Джули, but that was on 21 December 2020. Because the Russian Wikipedia imports infobox and photo information from WikiData, it is now using 223213grace's upload of commons:File:Julie Snyder (1).jpg as its picture. WP:DUCK. If "not on en-wiki yet" makes this a "quick close, no action" well, at least I put this on your collective radar, related en-wiki pages may need a close eye. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs) 🎄  03:30, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

IP put newly-uploaded image of a Canadian actress Émily Bégin on his user talk page. This image, commons:File:9ra2Dt5MySrty7XmmVfQwPCgh1c.jpg, was recently uploaded, deleted as a copyvio of https://moviefit.me/persons/160359-emily-begin, re-uploaded the Commons by Commons:User:332brainy3. It is now marked for "7-day deletion" pending OTRS permissions. Note that this IP address is blocked already for "block evasion", has an edit history consistent with this sockmaster, and has been mentioned in this SPI's archives. I'm logging this behavioral evidence and suggesting either TPA be revoked or the 3-month block-clock be restarted. I didn't add 332brainy3 because that user has not edited anywhere but commons as far as I can tell. I'll leave it to the SPI-clerks and checkusers to decide if that name should be added to the list. Courtesy ping to who blocked 184.160.70.92 for 3 months back in December. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  01:44, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks . Looks like the Commons image will be deleted shortly for copyvio. IP remains blocked from December.
