Inappropriate behaviour around an ongoing AFD discussion at Articles for deletion/Nader Nadernejad, including vandalism of my user talk page (,, , etc.), attempts to strip the AFD template from the article prematurely, as well as attempts to unilaterally declare the AFD discussion closed under the false pretense that the nomination has been withdrawn (but they were not the nominator, so they don't get to make the withdrawal call.) BeaverTails then tried to get the page semi-protected under the false pretense that the restoration of the AFD template and the reversion of the discussion closure constituted vandalism by a WP:COI editor — although that stunt backfired, in that while the page did get protected, it was not on the templateless version like they wanted and it wasn't semi. All of the listed accounts are SPAs, who have made no contributions to Wikipedia on any topic besides Nadernejad. Bearcat (talk) 01:59, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment Endorse and support what Bearcat is saying entirely. I have seen the behaviour of these accounts (in defence of the same article) and immediately alarm bells rang for me. AusLondonder (talk) 06:48, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Brand new user, first action was to create Nader Nadernejad in one 7000+ character paste. Articles under this name have had an interesting history, including AFD participation by previous socks of this user. &#124; Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  20:50, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Newly registered user whose first-ever Wikipedia edit was to go straight to WP:DRV to request undeletion of Nader Nadernejad, the same topic as all the previous sockpuppetry here. It's hard to believe that a new user with no prior edit history would even know about DRV in the first place, which is why I don't quite buy that this is an unconnected editor acting in good faith.
