Puppeteer is a WP:SPA, blanking content critical of the company at Elevations Residential Treatment Center.
 * 24 May: puppeteer unexplained blanking of "controversy" section and content in lead which describes the centre under its former name Island View Residential Treatment Center. These included reliable sources that verified the name change from old to new, and allegations against the centre which included some WP:RS.
 * 30 May: following re-addition of content from anon editors, puppeteer again removes content from lead about centre's old name:, then again blanks the whole "controversy" section:
 * 30 May: same again, but this time puppeteer replaces blanked section with a short "background" section, mentioning only the centre's re-opening in 2014 under the new name: . Puppeteer is repeatedly warned about blanking up to level 4.
 * 30 May: 6 hours after puppeteer's level 4 warning, sock RosieM007 again blanks the controversy section, this time adding an edit summary alleging libel: . Puppet's only other edit so far appears to be a draft of a user page:
 * 19 June: sock Nzteoli, first edit half an hour after account creation was to bang a sections tag onto a short article, a minute later created a user page , third edit was to prod the Elevations Residential Treatment Center: . Prod immediately contested by an anonymous editor. Next day Nzteoli takes it to AFD: , and since then has made almost no edits other than to the AFD. The nomination's deletion rationale was initially on notability of the newly-named centre, along with "noticed two sides (both very likely COI) debating various positive/negative facts": . Claims to have read WP:GNG and WP:Notability is not inherited either prior to creating account or during day elapsed since account creation: , making it likely that account was created in order to delete this article. When I queried this, Nzteoli replied that there was no sockpuppet/meatpuppet connection between the three accounts:.

Elevations Residential Treatment Center is clearly linked with Island View Residential Treatment Center:. Leaving the rights and wrongs of a merge aside, all three of these accounts are clearly WP:SPAs for removing bad publicity from the newer article, with the AFD above appearing to be an attempt at removing the new company's name from WP altogether, to avoid having to continually remove content the company doesn't like from the new article using multiple accounts.

 * 22 June: Just before I hit "save" on this SPI, Nzteoli created a separate AFD at WP:Articles for deletion/Island View Residential Treatment Center . TMGtalk 10:33, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
