Three accounts have appeared supporting keep at the AFD for the Tanster. The evidence is mostly behavioural in that they all take the same strange point of view, have big problems signing properly, use similar but incorrect bold formatting in their !vote, make bizzare arguments, don't assume good faith... and Warheit and Bowbow are newly created SPA accounts that have only edited Tanster-related items. The one that brought me here is the last diff provided below, where Jamesbernet, pretending to be Warheit (as the history shows), adds a new vote, moving the autosign from the previous edit onto the new vote. It smacks of one user intentionally pretending to be someone else. The Afd nominator User:Jelleecat is also a new account, which created the AFD as their third edit. It's all very strange.


 * New User:Basilisk Bowbow adds his vote with incorrect bold formatting: diff,
 * User:Secret Wahrheit duplicates the bad formatting of the previous !vote, adding comments accusing someone or other of pedophilia, and making no logical AFD arguments, but then adds a copy-pasted signature
 * User:Jamesbernet steps in with a new !vote, but uses the previous autosign for user Secret Wahrheit, and removes the earlier signature... ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:50, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

 * I'm not active at SPI, so I leave it to the checkusers to decide whether a check is still appropriate, but I've blocked all these accounts as obvious WP:DUCKs based on their edit histories and behavior in the AfD. --RL0919 (talk) 05:26, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
 * With the relevant AfD closed, there are unlikely to be more accounts, so a check is not needed here. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:28, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
