creates page Catharine Wood. Shortly after the page is proposed for speedy deletion, new editor removes speedy deletion tag. Seems some kind of coordinated effort to keep the article in the mainspace. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 11:57, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' The accusing party attempted to delete the page within moments of its creation. How did they come across the page? And how is that timing any different from my stumbling across the page as well? I happen to be an expert in this field and noticed an injustice. I have zero affiliation with the article creator and don’t understand why the claimant is having any issue with the very well-documented content. Catharine Wood is a historical figure in the audio world and quite deserving of a Wikipedia presence.Wildfiire (talk) 12:45, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

 * So, first of all, this isn't an SPI thing, just me speaking as a new page patroller, but That was not an A7. The article definitely has/had its issues, but there were multiple CCSes when you tagged it. I would have contested it too if I had seen it.With that out of the way and my clerk fez back on, I note Wildfiire's response here, and do not find it credible, even less so when I realized they found this SPI all on their own. This seems like your classic case of "inexperienced user thinks they invented sock/meatpuppetry". Some sort of sanctions are in order, but what they are depends on whether this is sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry, so .  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 05:25, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

 * So, looking deeper at editing style, I don't think these are the same person, but, as before, I just can't bring myself to believe that their interaction is purely the result of coincidence. What are the odds that, five hours after creating their account, someone would stumble onto an article created only three hours before and choose to fight that deletion? It's possible, but it's very unlikely.That said, neither users' actions have made the encyclopedia obviously worse, and I can't justify any blocks if said blocks would not be preventing disruption. So: to both of you to not again jump into a conflict to take the other's side. If you do, you will likely wind up back here, and that would most likely end in blocks from editing. My assumption is that you both really are here just to make the encyclopedia better, this won't be much of an inconvenience for you; and if you aren't, then you won't have much of a reason to edit if you know you can't do this. Furthermore, if either of you has received any compensation for your edits, please be aware that the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use require you to disclose this.Closing.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 02:45, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
