 * The two accounts are editing from the same IP; it's either outright socking or WP:MEAT.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:06, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

All of these sock puppets (or possible ones) have just joined and wanted to keep a page that the sockmaster started. That is all they have done. Wgolf (talk) 18:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC) Wgolf (talk) 18:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

appears identical in editing behavior to StephyGret, a single positive edit on the AFD of the ChnLove article. Recording for posterity. Dolescum (talk) 10:03, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

The following are to each other, though WP:MEAT is also a possibility:

 * Please note the CU results in the 19 September report. Billhamus, the only account not previously addressed, appears to be ❌. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:00, 22 September 2014 (UTC)


 * At first I was not going to block any accounts, because most of it looked like a one-off piece of sockpuppetry to try to rig one deletion discussion, which is now over, and it was reasonably likely that no more editing would take place. However, looking into the case further, I saw unambiguous signs of dishonesty, and I also saw that there was an earlier account Alan betty, and the episode has been going on for over three months. Considering also that all of the accounts are here only for promotional purposes, I have blocked them all except, in view of the CheckUser report, Billhamus.
