SPAs whose only edits have been to create and recreate an article about an actor (at Shaun Xavier and Shaun xavier) and to make Xavier's name more prominent in the list of actors of a film he has worked in,,. The sockmaster account hasn't edited for a while, but since that is the one who created the original article, which was deleted in AfD, and which was then recreated pretty much identical to the previous version by the other two accounts, I'm sure that they are the same person. bonadea contributions talk 09:09, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

An admin is needed to review deleted articles Shaun Xavier and Shaun xavier and to tell if they are substantially similar.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:30, 28 April 2015 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  14:22, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

 * In that case, those are WP:duck cases and should be blocked. Those accounts were not used concurrently, but they were used for WP:ILLEGITimate purposes.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:23, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
 * How long would you block the various accounts including the master?
 * I would block socks indefinitely and master for 24 hours.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  17:20, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

WP:DUCK: recreated Shaun Xavier. I don't recall the exact wording of previous articles, but a brand-new account creating a well-formatted article, including an image of Xavier which is claimed as "own work", seems rather conclusive. bonadea contributions talk 15:00, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Per the recreation of the same content and the username being almost the same as a previous sock, I've both the master and the sock -- enough is enough, and Deepashaun will have to make a convincing unblock request. I've also SALTed Shaun xavier and Shaun Xavier. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  01:29, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
