The suspected master creates what looks like a dubious article. It is correctly moved back to draft by & the suspected master sock, without properly addressing the issues raised, they vehemently moved the article back to mainspace. Praxidicae then nominated the article for deletion & this is where it gets interesting the suspected sock joined the encyclopedia barely 19 days ago & "coincidentally" their very first edit was straight to the AFD page to !vote a keep. I strongly believe this to be sock puppetry or in the very least, bad faith off wiki coordination. Celestina007 (talk) 01:10, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I was wondering about this, too, as they, and also User:Johnel X and User:Hundrednaira, were involved in working on the deleted page Draft:Evarest Nnaji. Also, PatrickDahWoo's original username was User:Sir Sputnikk until they were asked to change it. I don't see encounters between them and the admin by that name but it's a telling sign when a new editor chooses a username that is similar to an admin's name. Liz Read!

 * Tagged PatrickDahWoo. Considering the IP assignment patterns in the country we're (probably) dealing with, I don't think blocking possilikely accounts with no edits is a good idea. Closing. Spicy (talk) 15:26, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
