Fishistheice's first edit on Wikipedia in 2008 as a "new user", without any prior edits, was to support a deletion discussion started by User:ImperviusXR  - the Fishistheice account then went inactive and hasn't made a single edit for nearly two years. Today, Fishistneice suddenly reappeared on Articles for deletion/SS personnel assigned to Auschwitz, after two years of inactivity, again supporting Impervius who originated the deletion discussion just as in 2008. It should also be noted that the vote at the Auschwitz discussion was not turning out the way Impervius wanted, and we had already dealt with another issue where Impervius voted in the body of the discussion after nominating it (in a sense voting twice). It was later determined this was against policy. I believe this is a case of an auxiliary account created to support deletion votes. OberRanks (talk) 02:59, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Maybe, but based on the articles where these accounts overlap, I think Fishistheice is a friend or colleague of the master. Clearly they're here to edit on behalf of their friend, though, so their vote can maybe be written off as such. Relist if this becomes a recurring thing, though. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:51, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Can we at least issue a warning about this. Its very obvious that this was a violation of WP:MEAT, if not outright WP:SOCK. -OberRanks (talk) 05:01, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
