 * probably solicited editing, as the IP addresses are all residential (one mobile carrier?) with a range of ISPs/locations, and do not appear to be compromised. For what it's worth, that page probably isn't really A7 material - if this escalates to a deletion discussion we may want to keep an eye on this. SpitfireTally-ho! 23:46, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I fear more are arriving. Added 98.235.153.127 to the pile just now. If it doesn't go with A7, and no substantive references are added it will go to AfD, so an eye will need to be kept on discussion packing. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 23:56, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Seemed like a clear A7. If the article doesn't assert notability, I look to the talk page to see if it's asserted there, and if so I decline the A7. However, claims on the talk page like "one of the first/earliest publishers..." and "up-and-coming" are not assertions of notability, and notability was not asserted in the article. Therefore I deleted it. As far as the rest, it looks more like a case of canvassing to me than sockpuppetry. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:24, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Closing this for now, given that the article has been deleted. Please refile if they cause any further issues. SpitfireTally-ho! 00:29, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
