This is a user impersonating who turned up with the Helmsman account in the midst of the blowup at ANI over Neelix's mass-creation of redirects. All three accounts are also named after Star Trek: Voyager characters and have done nothing but mass-create implausible redirects, often to significant religion articles (most contribs deleted, I can't provide diffs). CheckUser should show that these accounts are all operated by one user who is not Neelix, and/or may be related to the Wikipediocracy witch-hunt against Neelix from last year.

 * (or others patrolling): given that these users abused multiple accounts and used an unauthorized bot, I request that their redirect creations be deleted per criterion WP:G5. I'll be happy to request in a different venue if you think that's more appropriate, but I don't want to bother tagging all of the pages. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:57, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
