Evidence submitted by The-Pope
All of the above have an unhealthy obsession with a junior footballer, Lelo Sejean or Lélo Léhud Sejean. I came across the page back in January and it's been AfD'd 3 times already. All of the above listed users have either recreated the same information of consistantly added the same information to related pages. Some diffs:
 * User:Levantoellame & User:Abcdefghi1010
 * User:Tennis-star-nr.1 : userfied page & User:Ya=salam9  - first and only edit is to recreate/move a userfied article into mainspace?  WP:DUCK.

If they aren't sockpuppets then most of them are WP:SPAs working together offwiki (Meatpuppets?) to get this kid a wikipedia page.The-Pope (talk) 00:31, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * All users listed above notified of this case on their talk pages.The-Pope (talk) 03:50, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comments in reply to Smkaram I have no doubt that your account is legitimate. It is all of the other accounts that I'm concerned about. Maybe this guy is big news in Lebanon, but he still isn't considered notable enough for an article on wikipedia - if he makes his debut for the Lebanon senior international team, then fine, the article should exist (without all of the other non-notable stuff - but that isn't a discussion for this page).  Three AfDs have shown that.  The amount of personal details in the article indicates that it is either Lelo himself or someone who personally knows him that is creating, recreating and editing the article.  The fact that there are at least seven accounts doing this - and most working on very little else, is why we are here. Levantoellame and Tennis-star-nr.1 also have substantial edit histories and may be friends or just interested in the same articles, but there is a pattern of similar edits and co-ordinated recreation of the Lelo article.The-Pope (talk) 05:34, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Comments by accused parties
See Defending yourself against claims.

1- No, there is no obsession with the footballer. I and the others accused are just improving Lebanese football. 2- What life-less person would make fake accounts for one article? I mean, please! 3- The only reason I recreated it is because the original article had an unorganized name. 4- I have references! So what if it has been suggested for speedy deletion before? It has references. This guy is real. 5- The only name from the accused people I have seen before is the dude right below me.

I have just read an article about SPAs. Yes, I do focus on football in Lebanon, but is that a single-purpose? I also do other stuff related to Lebanon and football. Maybe something else sometimes.

I have not "sock-puppet"ed (again ... a life-less thing to do).

Requested by The-Pope (talk) 00:31, 25 April 2010 (UTC) All these editors seem to have a similar mode of operation, but a checkuser will help determine if these are meat or sockpuppets. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:13, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
