All have only edited the page Yotta Kasai, which Film 1024 started, or made edits to promote or link to that page. Their edits show a strong "knowledge" of the person, such as editing his "Influences" ( or ), and show a coordinated effort to add sources to the article ( or ) that are not RS but which give the impression of a well-sourced article. When the article was nominated for deletion (Articles_for_deletion/Yotta_Kasai), Aticeyound and Promper29 both removed AfD templates, and both, plus the IP, argued against its deletion on the talk page. On the AfD, Aticeyound, Promper29, and Gropen have so far been the only "keep" votes, even though they have offered no relevant evidence regarding WP:GNG. Aticeyound, Promper29 and Gropen have been found to have copied the user and talk pages of other editors to make it seem as if they are experienced editors with barnstars. Beyond the problem of using multiple accounts to make it seem there are multiple users interested in the page, this has now escalated into trying to manipulate an AfD, which clearly falls under WP:ILLEGIT.

 * One of the clearest cut user compare report matchups I've ever seen. A lot of them are single purpose accounts, as well.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  00:47, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
 * All of the named users are clearly socks or meatpuppets of Film1024 and have been blocked. The IP is much less obvious and has not been blocked. Toddst1 (talk) 10:26, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
