All three accounts (JalenPhotos2, ShaddyAmbani, Physcho711) are recently created in the same time period and are trying to influence the voting/discussion at Articles for deletion/Michael J Coudrey. This seems to be a case of WP:ILLEGIT or WP:MEAT. This is the first AFD participation for all three accounts. JalenPhotos2 created the article on Michael J Coudrey in this edit and this editors contributions (see here) began on 24 May 2021. ShaddyAmbani began editing 13 April 2021 (see here) and has made very few contributions. Physcho711 began editing 4 June 2021 see here) and has also made few contributions. JalenPhotos2 voted keep and has made multiple edits at the AFD (see here and ). ShaddyAmbani voted keep (see here), and Physcho711 voted keep (see here).4meter4 (talk) 22:04, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Update. I added a new potential puppet, CaliBuds. User is new and came to AFD quickly at Michael J Coudrey. See edits history here. I also added Onlineseller21, as it appears CaliBuds and Onlineseller21 are working together as puppets to influence the decision at Draft:Brad Abrell. Both are new accounts.

 * Update. I added User:Pctweaks. It is an older account, but inactive and this edit at the Michael J Coudrey AFD is one of the account's few edits. (See here) May be a sleeper account. I suggest looking for more sleepers.4meter4 (talk) 15:57, 2 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Update. I added SugarHiller. Few edits outside of the AFD and recently created. See and .4meter4 (talk) 13:18, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Update. I added TexasToasters. Few edits outside of the AFD and recently created. See and .4meter4 (talk) 19:51, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Hi, I'm not sure why 4meter4 decided to bring my account into this investigation, and after reading his claim above, I don't think he does either. My articles deletion thread has been ongoing for approximately 3-4 weeks now, with a fruitful conversation on both sides. As of last night or today, two new entries popped up from relatively "new" accounts. Not sure if they are related or if it is a result of manipulation, but I have zero affiliation with either of them. If you may, please do a checkuser scan to prove this. I have been on Wikipedia for quite some time, have a significant amount of edits, and have positively contributed to some really great articles. I also just really enjoy contributing to the community and feel pretty satisfied when I make edits that stay around.

PS: If the two accounts are related, I would request to have their entries removed from the deletion thread page so that #1: we can continue the conversation and #2, they don't disrupt or negatively impact the communities keep/delete votes or natural flow of conversation and consensus. Kindly, JalenPhotos2 (talk) 01:05, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment — I also do want to add, that 4meter4's allegation (at least my involvement in his allegation) is weak at best, and flat out insulting at worst. JalenPhotos2 (talk) 01:28, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment — So after speaking a little more with 4meter4 I can understand his line of reasoning and wanting to keep the community safe. He also explained it's general protocol to nominate an investigation such as this. I suppose I felt a little attacked which is why I wrote my last response. I would however like to reiterate my claim of innocence. I am not connected to ANY of the accounts mentioned above. JalenPhotos2 (talk) 16:42, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Sleeper account? Your very wrong on this one. They can check the IP on my account, not the same person. That's was my honest opinion on the matter, you just can't go around attacking people for having a different view point, Pctweaks (talk) 05:22, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * is there a reason why a check user is not being recommended? I would like one done, and several of the users nominated here requested one as well. I don’t believe this case should be closed without doing one. 4meter4 (talk) 02:54, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * To be honest, yes, the behavior of these accounts strikes me as rather fishy. I think some kind of meatpuppetry or canvassing is in play, but I am not confident enough to block. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:49, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
