Suspected sockpuppets
The problem is at the page Political views of Javier Milei. On October 26, he blanks the page (a draft he had rejected and that I accepted when nominated again), creates a new version (at Political positions of Javier Milei, with content simply copypasted from the article), and redirects the blanked page to his new article. The page blanking is later undone, and Articles for deletion/Political views of Javier Milei is started for both articles.

The AFD was started on October 28. User Piertosiri started editing that same day, and only to edit in that dispute. Even more, he also blanked that page as his second edit. He did it again with the edit summary "I return this page to the edition of the user Gobonobo", and then a third time. The 4th one he even said "Same explanation as that of the user Gobonobo in his October 26 edition in this article" (the one that started it all).

There's more. He reported his ongoing edit war to Gobonobo (to himself?) and took part in the AFD here... of course, supporting Gobonobo. And of course, the same day the AFD was started.

In short: Piertosiri joins Wikipedia the same day Gobonobo's actions escalate into an AFD, repeats his actions, acts as an unrelenting fan of a user that never even talked to him, and shows familiarity with concepts such as reverting edits, article history, vandalism, neutrality, etc. Seems like a clear sockpuppet.

 * . Gobonobo is an editor with 100,000+ edits going back more than 15 years. The WP:AGF explanation is simply that this Piertosiri account is someone else who is also interested in this topic area and noticed the dispute happening. Comparing the comments between the two accounts at Articles for deletion/Political views of Javier Milei, I do not get the sense they are the same person. I don't think there is enough evidence here to override AGF, and for that reason, . Mz7 (talk) 08:04, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
