 * Suspected sockpuppets

Check out Articles for deletion/DL Teamor. Several posts appeared defensively within a few minutes of each other with "do not delete" for various reasons, none of which are policy defenses. One even claims to be the subject of the article herself, which makes me believe this person is socking to try and overthrow the current consensus for deletion. Apologies if I'm missing something; I haven't been very active on Wikipedia in quite some time.

 * I have to admit that I'm suspicious as well, given the evidence. Coraopolis has been blocked and the article deleted, but given how things slightly escalated and given how others have acted in similar circumstances, I recommend going ahead with the investigation just in case. Past experiences with similar editors has shown that sometimes people come back under some of the socks. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:10, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I only blocked for 2 days because of disruption, pending the outcome of this case. The repeated "Do Not Delete" votes at the AFD are concerning. --Rschen7754 06:24, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

 * - - CU will help us determine whether these are socks or merely WP:SPA meatpuppets. King of  &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 06:23, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * In addition to this evidence, I also saw some of these accounts in an edit filter log. All named accounts are ✅. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:43, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I've blocked the master for a week for sockpuppeting to votestack on an AFD. I've also blocked and tagged all the sockpuppets. (I have not tagged DLeniseTeamor since that is a real-named account.) Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:50, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
