 * Suspected sockpuppets

User:Lookpla Rcnk was blocked for disruptive editing. This user created List of awards and nominations received by Fluke, which was deleted twice. After being blocked, User:I Need Somebody recreated it. That account stopped editing, and User:RCNK ELF appeared. Then that account stopped editing and User:Saranghaeyo Heechul appeared. The only other users who have edited this article are gnomes and IP addresses that are based in Thailand. These four accounts and IPs are all clearly the same person, and there's enough of an editing pattern to merit a search for socks.

Going through these accounts' edits, there's this strange behavior of creating articles of non-notable subjects (Rookie BB, this group definitely exists), blatant hoaxes (Jang Seung-woon, this person definitely does not exist), or some combination of both (the subject of List of awards and nominations received by Fluke exists (both Pachara Thummol and Jira Danbawornkiat go by the stage name Fluke), but the information on the article here doesn't match up with either of them at all). Basically, this entire thing is a mess and I expect a giant headache in the foreseeable future with the person behind these accounts. — ξ xplicit  07:25, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

 * - I am sure that is connected, so I indeffed that account. I am not sure about the other two, so I'm endorsing the CU to compare them toe each other.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  11:00, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

created Lee Seung-hyuk and The Attack Bullet Tour, created The Comeback (South Korean TV series), and  created List of awards and nominations received by Seo Chang-jun. All of these articles are hoaxes about imaginary South Korean actors, singers, or TV shows. Lee Seung-hyuk and List of awards and nominations received by Seo Chang-jun have the same style of fake awards (real awards that were actually won by other people). All accounts also edit articles related to Got7. I am requesting CheckUser because there may be other accounts with more hoax articles that haven't been found, and I think the new accounts were created to avoid scrutiny. (Note: is already blocked.)

 * I think this behavior goes much further back. "Strong lookpla" sounded very familiar to me, and then I remembered, who also created hoax articles. This case may need to be moved to Sockpuppet investigations/Lookpla Rcnk. There are also other accounts, such as and  that fit the pattern and weren't found in the previous investigation.

 * Editing again to add, another obvious sock. They are also editing Got7-related topics while logged out, e.g. . I'm a little suspicious of as well, but there isn't any strong evidence so far. Random86 (talk) 05:30, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

 * This is definitely, and I've blocked all the suspected accounts per WP:DUCK except for as I am not convinced for that account. The SPIs should be merged as mentioned above. Considering the number of sockpuppets, a sweep for any dormant accounts is warranted. —  ξ xplicit  12:31, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I've moved the case based upon the behavior of the accounts. (Master is stale) Mike V • Talk 01:44, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Wrote a new hoax article, Draft:Seo Jun-hwan, and edited a Got7-related page created by a previous sock. Random86 (talk) 11:19, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
