Federstift recently created Tariq Abo Gamra, which in my opinion does not appear to be notable enough. Just take a look at the article's revision history for evidence, where they all have similar edit summaries and both ducks have a minor editing history (5 and 8 edits each). Very obvious, really. Right now this doesn't seem blockable because they seem to be acting in good faith. However, this may not be the case in future deletion discussions, as one of the ducks recently commented on the article's talk page as if s/he was someone else ("Hmm").

I only have a similiar editing summary, because everyone else before was writing in that way.--Antonius2 (talk) 17:23, 24 March 2015 (UTC)


 * And as for the very small amount of edits. If you look at the references, you will see, that the news of the author publishing his book is only a few days old. No wonder there are a lot of people joining wikipedia to write an article.--Antonius2 (talk) 17:27, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

 * - - All three registered within 24 hours and interested solely in the life and work of Tariq Abo Gamra. Titanik123 uploaded a photo of Tariq Abo Gamra to Wikimedia Commons  claiming it to be his "own work". That implies that he is probably Abo Gamra himself.
