Evidence submitted by Singularity42
WP:DUCK. Besides the similar username, and similar contributions, Leedsalex23 created Dougie Swallow, and at the AfD stated that the user had heard of Dougie Swallow, as an argument to support the subject's notability. Shortly afterwards, Leedsalex6 weighed in saying that he also heard of Dougie Swallow, also in support of the subject's notability. Singularity42 (talk) 20:32, 27 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Update. I have now added 92.0.201.129 to the report. The IP recently removed all of the delete comments from the AfD( and ) and has shown an interest in Leeds-related articles . Singularity42 (talk) 14:42, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Reply to IP's comments (Assuming based on comments, that it is the same as the two Leedsalex accounts.) That does not match up with your actual use of the two accounts. You created both accounts over a year ago, and went back and forth between them. Then, at the recent AfD, you used both accounts at the same time. One said "I have heard of him", and then logged on with the other account to say "I have also heard of him". That was an intentional (although not very good) attempt to decieve other editors into believing multiple editors supported the notability of the subject, when it was just you. That is precisely the type of behaviour that is unacceptable on Wikipedia. Singularity42 (talk) 15:14, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

to be fair i only made 2 accounts because i forgot the password for one of them although i later regained/changed it so not like i made 2 just for the fun of it feel free to delete one of them if you wish you pick which one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.201.129 (talk) 15:04, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

I am requesting a CheckUser to see if there are any other sleepers. Singularity42 (talk) 20:32, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

– I'm not seeing any other accounts by that name, and they've all admitted to being the same person. –MuZemike 20:15, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
Leedsalex23 indefinitely blocked. Leedsalex6, I have some reason to believe your statement is not completely true. However, I'm going to AGF and let you go this time. Keep your password in an accessible but secure place (i.e. written down and locked somewhere). I or another admin will not be as lenient if you come back to SPI.
