spa #1 creates an article. spa #2 then spam-links it across a number of other articles.

I revert the links and AfD Mybridge at Articles for deletion/Mybridge for lack of independent sourcing. #1 proceeds to 3RR remove the AfD notice. #2 then reverts the links to the article. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:19, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

It appears that the user named Andy Dingley is removing a page called Mybridge on all Wikipedia articles including 'Comparison of News aggregator' and 'List of social bookmarking site' where the public should feel free to contribute additional sites related to the topic. Andy Dingley also nominated for deletion of the page Mybridge. The user may be incentivized by his own self-interest such as helping another news aggregator or social bookmarking site to avoid competition. Such an activity by one user to remove a page or attack a page displays Control in open source site, Wikipedia. This should be stopped and further investigated.Cristinaboz (talk) 02:00, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia provides open information to everyone. There is another news aggregator / social bookmarking site which can be included in pages such as comparison of news aggregator and list of social bookmarking site. Given that related sites shall be listed on these pages, how can adding a related site (Mybridge) be considered spam? It appears true that the user tries to constantly remove a single page (Mybridge) and this is questionable whether the user has an incentive to do so. Beautifulday88 (talk) 02:45, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
