Both of these accounts have the sole editing purpose of submitting identical articles about a Somali poet (who might be the actual editor, but it doesn’t matter). The only way in which this isn’t a duck is that ducks can fly. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:19, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

 * There is no need for a CheckUser, as the sockpuppetry is perfectly obvious. I have blocked Labsalah1, and warned Labsalah Duhul Hassan that a block will come to that account too if there is any more disruption of any kind, including further abuse of multiple accounts.

Suspected sockpuppets

 * All accounts were created within the last ten days.
 * The master and first two socks created autobiographies.
 * Master removed AfD template from second sock's article.
 * First sock removed speedy deletion template from second sock's article.
 * Third sock is left a misplaced AfD keep vote on the second sock's article talk page.

The common behavioural pattern is that these are all articles about Somali persons with only self-published sources. If these are not the same person writing, then it looks like a small group of WP:MEAT puppets protecting each other's articles from deletion. I initially hesitated to bring this to SPI, but decided to after consulting with User:Doc James. Drm310 (talk) 21:14, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
