Fedgetrashmore opened an account on June 21 and created Articles for deletion/Jeff Monaghan twelve minutes later. After listing the article, Fegetrashmore voted delete on June 26. An hour and a half later, Archie888 added a vote for deletion, agreeing with "above". The next vote, by the IP, came 20 minutes later, citing the same policy as Fedgetrashmore. All three users have under 5 edits, but Archie888 is the oldest. I personally suspect that there's a sockmaster somewhere that hasn't been discovered yet and that Archie888 is a sleeper account, but I can't prove that. The biggest evidence I see aside from the triple-intersection at AfD, is that both Archie888 and Fedgetrashmore signed in a very unique way, manually writing --Archie888 and --Fedgetrashmore (notice the absence of the "user:") instead of using tildes, just signing their name, or forgetting to sign as new users often do. ~Adjwilley (talk) 20:56, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * - - The odd signing and timing makes me suspicious enough that I think CU is warranted.   Of course, this won't address the IP, which can be reviewed after a CU. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  13:58, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Very that the two accounts are operated by the same individual, however, nothing else to report. No comment on the IP. WilliamH (talk) 21:25, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
