I have nominated Leon Emirali for deletion and it has already attracted two SPAs. seems to show similar behaviour to these socks: knowledgeable about the AfD process despite virtually no edits and no previous AfD exposure. History of their user page is also instructive as they seem to have accidentally edited that page under another account name (although meatpuppet is possible there). That other account, has a warning on their user talk about paid editing, and has had their own user page deleted. I can't say I know these are the same sock farm, but they certainly look like some sock farm, and on the balance of probabilities... Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:28, 8 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Pinging as I am not sure if this is still watched now the other accounts are blocked. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:29, 8 October 2023 (UTC)


 * also smells ducky. I just E/C'ed the AfD so we may reach a non-tained consensus. Star   Mississippi  15:16, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks @Ponyo. It was reactivating to ask this that brought on quacks but sounds like just another conflicted editor ala . Star   Mississippi  21:51, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

 * All of these accounts are blocked and tagged. There is a bigger issue though, in that some of the accounts have been involved in AfD discussions and have skewed the results. At Articles for deletion/Leon Emirali, for example, the discussion was closed as 'no consensus' based solely on the two keep votes by the sock accounts. I think a deeper dive on the contribution histories are needed here.-- Ponyo bons mots 18:07, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm going with for . Their IP is acting as a proxy, but it's peer-to-peer and they're likely not even aware of it.--  Ponyo bons mots 21:45, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Closing, making AFD right can be done elsewhere. MarioGom (talk) 20:44, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

MountClew gamed autoconfirmed to recreate Leon Emirali which was the focus of the master's previous sockpuppetry. Cabayi (talk) 15:04, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Re-created article is sufficiently similar to the deleted version that sockpuppetry is almost certain. Blocked. Closing. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:37, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
