There has been a long dispute at the Talk:Boy band about a South Korean boy band Big Bang. The community has rejected the inclusion of the band due to inflated sales figures. User:GD.BB not being pleased with the fact that majority of the editors do not agree to list the band on the main page, decided to start a discussion to remove the entire list. However, was not able to get enough support. Months later, today, he/she asked User:MRAU-vip to support the removal of the section. Almost immediately, after that User:GDFan1988 supported the removal. User:GDFan1988 isn't an active account yet bears the same exact first initials in the user name as User:GD.BB. It is highly possible that these both accounts belong to the same person. Harout72 (talk) 03:25, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Really? I also asked MRAU-vip for his/her opinion in the matter if you read my post to her, and his/her "support" since s/he agreed with me according to her edits and posts on the same issue, so maybe s/he didn't notice the talk because I'm sure s/hhe'll agree. And the user "GDFan1988" go search the users in Wiki that's start with GD please. And GD represent G-Dragon, do you think I'm the only person who used the name online? And there is huge discussion about the list in social media right now, so that's probably you'll see many enter now. Or will you claim all of them from me because someone doesn't agree with you?

 * MRAU-vip has socked before at the Boy band trying to make it look it wasn't him/her. The activity I presented above is suspicious enough also, therefore, it is worth checking.--Harout72 (talk) 13:29, 25 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm curious, would a different set of tools have been used had I requested a checkuser? If one doesn't request a checkuser, how is it determined whether accounts are related or not?--Harout72 (talk) 22:35, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
