Evidence submitted by Rrburke

 * User:Liannef created what appears to be a self-promoting autobiography, Lianne Farbes.


 * After the article was listed at AfD, User:Lifarbes, whose username bears an uncanny similarity both to the article in question and to User:Liannef, began refactoring AfD comments and removing the Afd tag from the article, for which the user was eventually blocked.


 * User:Jeromeparsons, more likely a meatpuppet, is an SPA whose only contributions have been to Lianne Farbes and its AfD discussion. The user adds unsourced information to Lianne Farbes, suggesting a possible personal connection between the two editors.  Checkuser might be useful, but I couldn't see that the case met the threshold for a request.


 * User:Jeromeparsons asnd User:Lifarbes edited within a short time of each other here and, more importantly, here, shortly after User:Lifarbes could not longer edit due to a block.

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

 * As Rrburke points out, this is all over one article so will probably blow over once the AFD is done. The second account matching the subject's name is already blocked, the Jeromeparsons account will likely disappear when the AFD is complete so isn't worth blocking.  Checkuser doesn't seem real necessary.   Wknight94  talk  13:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
Accounts don't seem to be affecting the outcome. I'll just block them as SPAs; they shouldn't trouble us further. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 00:28, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
