Here are two accounts that I saw pop up at Articles for deletion/Eric Hennig (2nd nomination). The two have not made any edits prior to this, and their only edits after have both been Eric Hennig related. Many of their comments and contributions are similar in nature; both include random inline citations and make reference to similar Wikipedia policies. The IP address has edited solely in Eric Hennig's debate and article, and tried to pretend to be two different people. Also, the IP modified a comment by Entertainment4U, so this looks pretty clearly like a WP:DUCK case.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 23:33, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Both: put things in quotes and both use exclamation points.

Both are citing the subject's Twitter account as a claim to notability.

Both add urls to talk posts in the form of references.

User:Runner247 is a single purpose account who arrived only to !vote at the AfD.

The IP 108.199.188.16 also arrived out of nowhere to !vote at the AfD and uses exclamation points.

The IP just modified the Entertainment4u2013's AfD entry. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:52, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Another IP, 66.87.72.224, popped up; he follows the trend of formatting external links as references so I've added him here.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 02:56, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

 * I'd also like to say that it looks like there's an attempt at either socking or meating here. The arguments are all along the same lines, so it's probably fairly likely that they're either the same person or a group of people who were sent over here to make the same argument based on a forum post or similar.

 * Accounts blocked per WP:DUCK. I do not see sufficient evidence to implicate the IPs. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 04:39, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
