Two more SPAs involved in the attempts to recreate an article about Al Salehi, the very same topic as all of the other socks in this situation. Alan Salehi and Alan "Al" Salehi, the pages created by the already-blocked socks, were speedied G4 as recreations of a deleted page on January 4 and 6, respectively; Jacobaultman then recreated it on January 11 at the Alan Salehi title. In the resulting AFD discussion about it, he insisted that the Buena Park Library Board constituted a statewide office for the purposes of WP:NPOL (which it doesn't), and that John Kerry had singled him out for praise in a speech (but Kerry was actually talking about Ali Akbar Salehi of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, and not Al/Ali/Alan Salehi of the Buena Park Library Board.) Then after that AFD was closed as a delete on January 19, Profdeanreed recreated the same article again on January 23 at yet another new title, Alan "Ali" Salehi.
