Baseballfan4 and Boston4you both went around spamming editor's talk pages saying that they were a member of the Boston Red Sox organization and asking for someone to write an article about them (Boston4you later created Leon Paulino which is likely an WP:AUTOBIO). Onlot has only made three edits but one was to remove a notability maintenance tag from Leon Paulino without any reasoning in the edit summary. Wirkhold has mostly only made edits to Leon Paulino and has also edited the same articles as Boston4you. requesting a CheckUser as I am not definite about the final two accounts and because there are several other accounts with limited edit history making edits to Leon Paulino.

 * Comment &  I think it is a safe bet to  should also be added as the account has tried to remove the AfD template from Leon Paulino twice today so far. Best, GPL93 (talk) 18:35, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

 * I would certainly endorse, based on this and this if nothing else. I'd be astounded if it didn't come back confirmed, but then the question would be block or just warn?  -- RoySmith (talk) 02:39, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Might also be worth looking at, who overlaps at Leon Paulino and with (in order) Boston4you, Baseballfan4, and Wirkhold, fills in the superfecta of creating a new sock every other day. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:47, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

 * , First, I'd rename the case to 8lpboston, and block all the socks. WP:SOCK says block the master at discretion; I think given the large number of socks created, and assorted disruptive editing like removing AfD templates, indef blocking the master is also justified. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:35, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
