User:Aaton77 added names Thomas Parisch and Laurent Ziliani to Akihiko Narita on 6 Oct, then created promotional article Pear Up Media with those named as founders on 18 Oct. Added Thomas Parisch article on 23 Oct that was PROD quickly.  User:Egonhirsch created article Laurent Ziliani on 18 Oct, edited by User:Aaton77 later that day.  Quickly WP:PROD and PROD quickly removed by ip:98.148.14.77 and then WP:Articles_for_deletion/Laurent_Ziliani. Only activity by User:Tarokoike is KEEP !vote in the open AfD discussion. ip:80.82.70.32 added a KEEP. Activity, formating, references, etc. seem too similar.

 * Agree with quick closure with no further action at SPI. The promotional BLP articles were deleted per AfD discussions.  The suspected sockpuppets have made no other edits.  The remaining promotional article was tagged by another editor.  Not worth more work if no longer a problem. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·cont) Join WER 05:24, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

 * The AFD has already closed against their votes, and likely we won't see them again. Looking at the IPs, which are on different continents, makes me think that meatpuppetry is more likely.  Since this is a little stale now (sorry, looks like we are backlogged) I would say to not worry about action at this time, but no prejudice against future filing if they come back.  Some of these may the same or just meat and only CU could sort it out, but I am not sure it is worth the effort if they don't come back.  I will leave open for now in case another clerk sees it differently, if not, it can be closed. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 19:47, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with Doc. Some cases, even if likely, are hard to prove quickly.  Closing with no prejudice to refile using the same evidence if they should up as a pack again.  Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 01:01, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
