created Center for International Study and Development (an organization whose executive director is named as "Hakim Said" on their website) which was nominated for speedy deletion. (a user whose name coincides with the acronym of the Center for International Study and Development/Child Advocacy and Human Rights International, a project of the CISD) removed the speedy deletion tag with no explanation as their sole contribution to Wikipedia. The article was then taken to AFD, where and  came to its defense as their first edits at Wikipedia. (When Sagaines was noted as a WP:SPA, they began making other edits.) came along to start editing the CISD article, with some other trivial edits along the way (possibly to avoid an SPA tag at the AFD).

HakimSaid created Center for International Study and Development ( COI as executive director of organisation). It's up for AfD, and now SPAs User:Sagaines and User:Jlin09 have turned up, with no edits outside this article. It's common for new users to create socks to try and save articles at AfD, and I think it may be the case here as well. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:24, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Diffs:

Talkpage: Sagaines: Hakim:

Page: CISDCAWRI: (removed speedy) HakimSaid: Creator of article, and main contributor Sagaine: (removed AfD template) Demarcjl

AfD: Hakim: , Sagaines:, , , , , Jlin:

Basically they're all working together and sypporting each other at the AfD, and one removed CSD tag as well. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:11, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

This editor's sole contributions have been arguing on Talk:Center for International Study and Development against the deletion of the article, in terms that closely match the arguments made by at Articles for deletion/Center for International Study and Development.

I agree, and  seem very similar. I added them to the original SPI, but guess they got missed off the checking. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:09, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

 * I have compared the very small amount of editing from this account with that of all the known sockpuppets. Not only is this an SPA editing on the same subject to express the same opinion, using similar reasons to support that opinion, but the general tone and character of the language used is also similar. Add to that the fact that the CheckUser clearly indicates that there is some degree of connection, and the probability in favour of sockpuppetry becomes substantial, so I have blocked the account.
