The last months there is a campaign going on to get Miss Universe 2015 on-line, without adequate sources. Most simple point of that is the date, from which are no reliable and independent sources available. Nor the company website mentions a date. At the end, after a discussion at Articles for deletion/Miss Universe 2015 (2nd nomination), it was decided to redirect MU'14 to Miss Universe due to lack of reliable sources. Still people are trying to push in the article and I have the idea that this is coming from just one person instead of a whole crowd.

First one is Cesaro2012, who has repeatedly ask for lifting of the protection to be able to write the article without giving reliable sources. For example March 2015, May 2015 and October 2015. Cesaro2012 has only edit pageant-articles or pageant-related.

Second one is Khryztiam87 who has only edits at pageant-articles and did not participate in any discussion. He recreated the redirecte article three times on 9 October: third time, second time and first time).

Before that the article was restored by IP 203.215.119.188 (. It is possible that this IP belongs to the sockfarm of Taiki0409. Things before this IP get fuzzy, due to that sockfarm being active here.

At 10 October 2015 admin MelanieN protected the redirect against recreation of the article. Quite quickly followed by a request of Khryztiam87 to unlock the article. Strange enough, this is followed by an announcement of paid editing by a user earlier mentioned in dodgy cases (unclearly related to this case so not further pursued.). This message was shortly after it removed by user:Moe set wine, who instead hijacked the page for an article here and after a revert blanked the page.

In all cases, it looks they have used the user page of Gvf23 as direct or indirect source for their article: User:Gvf23. The Banner talk 10:21, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
