This all concerns the Anna Faith article. Over the last couple of days Jfer19912205 diff and the ips diff, diff, diff, diff, have all been single purpose editors adding abusive vandalism to that same article. Just before page protection was about to kick in the article was nominated for AFD by Rvivek25 with their first edits since July 2018 diff. Oddbiiird was active from December 2019 to Jan 24 with his final edit being to nominate the Anna Faith article for MfD diff where in his nomination he mentions her Patreon account and her breasts in a similar manner to some of the ips edits. I reverted the MFD as it should have been AFD which I advised him but he then disappeared. This all suggests these accounts are all sockpuppets or meat puppets centred on vandalising or deleting the Anna Faith article, in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:43, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

 * - Oddbiiird is stale, and I'm not running Jfer on the basis of 1 addition of wikilinks. This can be a case handled by admins. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 03:40, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * There's no doubt in my mind that Jfer and the 4 IP's are all socks, so I'd ifdef Jfer. Probably not much point in blocking the IPs.  As for Rviek and Oddbiiird, it seems likely they're socks as well, but I'm less confident of that and wouldn't block just on the evidence so far (in which case, the case needs a rename).  My first thought was that in lieu of blocking the IPs, I would semi-protect Anna Faith, but I see that's been done already.  It's about to expire, so I'm just going to add it to my watchlist and see what happens.  -- RoySmith (talk) 18:28, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah I pretty much agree. There's some evidence of socking happening from Rviek and Oddbiiird but I'm not convinced enough to block. Your plan sounds good to me. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:53, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
