 * - Obvious attempt at spamming the same page and bypassing a previous deletion. Please, block both accounts. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 16:26, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * - hold the horses, there's an older master here, give me a minute...  Girth Summit  (blether)  17:53, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * OK - is ✅ to, which was blocked in 2016.  is ✅ to , blocked three days ago for spamming. I'm not confident about whether they're the same person however - they're in the same country, but there's no overlap on IP ranges. Might be a 'one account for home and another for work' or similar, hard to tell. They're both evading blocks, so I will block them both - , I'll leave it to you to consider how to tag etc.  Girth Summit  (blether)  17:58, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Technically speaking, is not evading blocks, as  was only WP:soft blocked. If you think they still deserve a block for spamming, I'm ok with that.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  23:21, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Very good point - I should have looked at the type of block. However, they have not made any attempt to disclose their COI upon their return, they just went straight into spamming - so yeah, I'm content for them to stay blocked. Girth Summit  (blether)  07:02, 8 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Case moved to the oldest account. Jamie dual-tagged. Closing. MarioGom (talk) 18:18, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Same IP range as some others. I could block it, but it would probably cause a lot of collateral damage.  I'd rather try partial blocks, page protection, and other solutions before that. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:36, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Pazzauk as WP:DUCK. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:46, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
