They both promote the same stuff. One of them removed a speedy deletion template. 4thfile4thrank (talk) 18:36, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

 * I've been following this since before the SPI. Behaviorally, I can't tell if this is 1 person, 2 people "meat-puppeting," or two people engaged in good-faith collaboration who are "recklessly negligent" when it comes to following Wikipedia's rules.  A checkuser hasn't been requested, but even if it is asked for and it does show as "technically indistinguishable" that wouldn't necessarily rule out a 2-person collaboration, especially if they were members of the same household or otherwise sharing a device or ISP.  My guess is that the next few days or next few dozen edits by each will reveal if he/they are WP:HERE or WP:NOTHERE.  Disclaimer:  I've become "emotionally invested" in getting the Ahmed Yusuf (Gamaliya) page "done right" (which MAY still mean deletion if the person fails WP:N) and no longer consider myself 100% objective.  In other words, I recognize that I may be giving this person/team more credit (or more of this) than they deserve, in the hopes that this really is two editors trying to edit in good faith.  Objective eyes, preferably more than one pair, are needed here. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  23:42, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * What does this mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4thfile4thrank (talk • contribs) 23:42, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Multiple disruptive things. 1. Moving userspace pages to Ahmed Yusuf-related pages and calling it a "misspelling" (example 1), (example 2). 2. Making this obviously false statement (example). 3. By the general gist of their contribs, why would 2 editors so desperately defend a non-notable politician? Also, removing speedy templates, a big no-no(example). Admin User:Ohnoitsjamie already speedied this before. 4thfile4thrank (talk) 05:02, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I did. The two examples show him moving himself and geedado to Yusuf-related pages. Then indicated that they are likely the same. 4thfile4thrank (talk) 13:47, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I did. "(example 1), (example 2). 2. Making this obviously false statement (example)" It contains links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4thfile4thrank (talk • contribs) 18:42, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

 * In order to facilitate check, you need to provide diff for each user that indicates that they both are the same. Please read again the point 1 and 2 and do the necessary. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 13:45, 7 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't see anything WP:ILLEGIT here. They could be newbies trying to create the same article or someone who does not know how Wikipedia works. In any case, drop a friendly note and if they don't understand, ask admins to block. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 12:52, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
