This is a clear attempt at gaming the AfD system to keep a spammy/promotional article. The original author created Fibroceutical. When this article was PROD nominated, PharmaMBA was created and removed the PROD notice from the article. Then when the article was taken to AfD, PharmaMBA left a long comment in the deletion discussion with a writing style very similar to that used in the original article. Then today, a new account is created again - DrGatsby1962 - whose first contributions are to comment on the AfD. Again these comments have a very similar writing style to both the original article and the subsequent AfD comment by PharmaMBA. --Biker Biker (talk) 15:14, 8 August 2011 (UTC) Biker Biker (talk) 15:14, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Socks blocked indef; in view of the blatant attempt to rig an AfD, master also blocked indef. Rather than a timed unblock, I think he needs to convince an admin he understands and will not repeat. JohnCD (talk) 16:05, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
