Georgsummer has already declared a WP:COI inthis edit, where he declared himself a manager for the band SINAI, (who's article has since been deleted mostly upon notability and COI promo concerns). Nick Perri was a band member, and Georgesummer proceeded to edit this page heavily. After being warned a number of times on his talk page that this was also a COI, all of a sudden a new User, User:Deathdealer101, has jumped right in and started removing many of the COI/Notability/Unsourced tags, deeming the article okay by his standards, despite not actually fixing the issues. See here for example, where he removes the unsourced section tag when all he did was remove a sentence in the section; he still didn't add any sources.

Basically, Deathdealer has jumped right in and knows an awful lot for being a new, unrelated editor, (One of his very first edits is about Georgesummer right off the bat, here), only edits related to Nick Perri, and is basically trying to remove all the tags that were brought up by Georgesummer's COI/sloppy work on the article, I can't help but wonder if he's a sock. So I wanted to check before dealing with this user further. Thanks! Sergecross73  msg me   13:33, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

 * I agree that there is reason to have socking suspicions here since the SPA user picks this article to do COI & BLP cleanup as their first edits. There are other behavioral similarities as well. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—►  15:19, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
