account created a week after master's UTRS block appeal was declined. Persistent claims without evidence at David Windsor that Windsor is "also Tyler Khalafvand" ,. Similarly tendentious style at their user talk, with angry replies larded with spurious guidelines links. Wikishovel (talk) 06:46, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Obvious block evasion. New SPA created 28 March, and immediately began adding David Windsor's name to articles, , eventually getting round to the main business of requesting deletion of David Windsor. Wikishovel (talk) 12:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC) Wikishovel (talk) 12:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
