Funny feeling this user is a sock of, which was another SPA used to edit the last AfD of Jeff Berwick. May also be affiliated with current nom, but I'm not sure (they just seemed oddly passionate about it in their nomination, but haven't commented further). Current AfD is here. -- Kethrus &#124;talk to me 17:09, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Another connected user (which is blocked) may be (SPA). --  Kethrus &#124;talk to me 17:16, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

 * There was clearly enough WP:QUACKing from for  to be blocked him/her as a sock of .  is QUACKing the very same tune. —Farix (t &#124; c) 17:21, 31 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Kethrus: The fact that, or  or whatever he may call himself has the same opinion on Jeff Berwick as I does not imply that I have anything to do with him or any of his sockpuppet accounts. I am sure that any of the "tech guys" at Wikipedia can confirm that my IPs is different from his, if that is necessary. --ElNuevoEinstein (talk) 08:38, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I've moved your comment to the correct section. confirmed connections (you didn't come up) and the SPI case is closed. It was an observation, and with the multiple sockpuppets I do think I have grounds for said observation, please don't take it as an accusation/insult. --  Kethrus &#124;talk to me 10:18, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

 * and, the initial problem here is that Kethrus mentioned ElNuevoEinstein in the body of the SPI but did not put them on the suspected puppet list, and I didn't notice it. If you're going to allege that a user is a sock, you need to put them on the list. As a result, I never checked ElNuevoEinstein, and, @Kethrus, you shouldn't assume because the account "didn't come up" means the account is unrelated. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't; that's all in the nature of CUs. I also think, honestly, there was insufficient evidence presented to check ElNuevoEinstein, which even Kethrus acknowledges implicitly in their comments. However, in response to the ElNuevoEinstein's request on my Talk page, I've checked ElNuevoEinstein, and the account is ❌. Hopefully, the matter is now put to rest.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:33, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Newly created account made a very similar edit (removing reliably sourced content) to Jeff Berwick page that sock was previously banned for editing extensively: FuriouslySerene (talk) 16:04, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
