There were a number of SPA accounts appearing at Articles_for_deletion/Ryan_Martin_(boxer), it is very likely that these were related to the author of the article. Since a deletion review has been opened I think it is as well to be very clear about which votes to count here, and very helpful to clear any cloud of suspicion over what has been occuring. The evidence that could be considered is as follows: 1. similar technical errors such as voting twice, despite the new accounts being able to jump in immediately with arguments related specifically to guidelines - vote1,duplicatevote1 - vote2, duplicatevote2,vote3,duplicatevote3

2. similar use of language "Let's make a rational decision and have discussions before this page isn't considered notable and selected for deletion." diff "Let's refer to WP: COMMON." diff "Vote is To Keep Ryan Martin's Page active" and "coverage is still ongoing" diff 3. the overwhelmening majority of recent edits for these accounts related to keeping this article 4. a user appeared claiming to be original author then different people not knowing the author but using same ip at wikipiedia-en-help to gain support to keep the article. nonsense ferret  13:09, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Comments by other users
''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' multiple accounts share this computer: c.dunkin, bluechip101 and boxinghead. None of these accounts have been created to mislead, deceive or vandalize. Bluechip101 (subject) created account to discuss sources with experienced users in help chat. boxinghead has never been used by creator. regarding my overwhelming amount of edits to keep my page is due to feeling not welcomed at all in the wikipedia community. This has been a disaster trying to navigate wikipedia properly and create my first successful page. It seemed that all my sources were being ignored. Editors familiar with one another seemed to go along with one another votes almost as if they were a club/group at AFD. I have hopes to continue with my contributions and take this whole process as a huge learning experience. I've spent a great deal of time here-- all in good faith as a new user.C.dunkin (talk) 02:02, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * why did a user apparently using your ip address, connect to the help chat and claim not to know you, and wishing to know how to pass his thanks on to you via wikipedia for creating the article. Ring any bells? --nonsense ferret  18:04, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * More than likely because I didn't tell him I created the article and for good reason. I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here. I would like to note: I presented a notable article and worked a plethora of hours on it and have not received any support at all. As for as sockpuppetting goes, I have not been involved in any of that stuff. However, users: Papaursa, Mdtemp, Jakejr and Astudent0 seem to have allot of similar worded comments in the AFD too. Have you investigated them? Soon I will be familiar with how to properly navigate wikipedia and won't need assistance from users like you or those mentioned above. If I didn't have to spend so much time defending my article, integrity and trying to get a good faith editor to look at the sources, I would have the time to learn.C.dunkin (talk) 20:02, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * The confirmed socks have blocked and the master issued a one week block. I've also blocked Carla Ja and Mattlonguk for meatpuppetry. I gave only a warning to Caseslab, as the user has unrelated, constructive edits from the past. Finally, I left a note at the deletion review page about the sockpuppetry.
