DavidStarIsrael7 has edited Diante do Trono‎‎ in the past, but has not made many edits recently. As soon as the anon's edits were reverted on the article, DavidStarIsrael7 returned to start tag-team wholesale reverts. The primary difference between the edits from the two editors: I find it suspicious that these edits are happening in such close temporal proximity. At the very least DavidStarIsrael7 should be required to register the IP as an alternate account. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:28, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) DavidStarIsrael7 usually comments when editing, the anon has not
 * 2) DavidStarIsrael7 usually discusses, the anon has not
 * 3) DavidStarIsrael7 has tagged me, the anon generally keeps silent

 * No block notice was placed on either editor's talk page. The anon will likely not ever know about the block. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:07, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

 * - This looks like the same person to me. Please block both for a day for disruptive editing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:36, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Sir Sputnik - ✅.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   17:40, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Could you please block them both? You seem to have missed the master account. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:02, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Sir Sputnik - Oh, weird. Not sure why that block didn't save... My apologies; thanks for letting me know - ✅.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   19:07, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Four edits made. Odd behaviour for an anon to go immediately to four recently nominated AfDs. Not the first time anons from Campinas, Brazil have come to this editor's aide. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Brazilian singers and bands of Christian music and Diante do Trono with. Other IPs have supported this editor.

 * Notice that a previous SPI found, also from Campinas, and both using TELEFNICA BRASIL S.A. as an ISP, to be associated. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:39, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Already CU-confirmed and blocked. I blocked the main account indefinitely given their previous socking, but any admin may act as they see fit. Drmies (talk) 23:41, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Sock has an identical userpage to the sockmaster and its first edit was to give themselves a barnstar. Subsequently they have recreated two articles that the sockmaster previously worked on: Draft:Joshua Aaron and Rodrigo Silva. The latter was copy-and-pasted from User:DavidStarIsrael7/Rodrigo Silva; see also Deletion review/Log/2018 April 29, where DavidStarIsrael7 and his socks lobbied to get that article undeleted. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 06:21, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

New user, editing the same niche topic as DavidStarIsrael7 (Brazilian Christian music ). One of their first edits was to ask me to restore David Quinlan (musician), an article that one of DavidStarIsrael7's socks created and I deleted as a G5. When I declined, they created it at David Quinlan (singer) instead, with exactly the same structure and very similar wording to the deleted version. Note that DavidStarIsrael7's primary purpose for socking last time was to try to recreate articles of theirs that had been deleted (see archived SPIs). –&#8239;Joe (talk) 13:30, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

 * They are already blocked for a UPOL vio, but I am overriding that block in this instance. The evidence here is very much WP:DUCK....they would not have had a way to know who created David Quinlan (musician) as you need to see deleted contribs to find it on that page...this seems to indicate beyond a reasonable doubt it was them when combined with the matching MO. proven.
