These are obvious single pourpose accounts I ran across while searching through the AfD page for salvageble articles, I noticed that all of these users nominated "KEEP" in capital letters on the discussion Articles for deletion/Richard English, writer and entrepreneur, all of whom used similar responces, another user tagged there responces as WP:SPAs. I have no question that these are the same person, I doubt Mark Ely is the master but rather the closest I have to identify, I request a checkuser to find the master and issue a stern warning, potentialy a rangeblock, depending on how much disruption has been caused. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 01:53, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Quick Question, I am not an administrator, and can not view the history of deleted pages, might the person whom created the article have anything to do with these wp:spas?

very fishy there, probably sleepers in the wings. Alexandria  (talk)  01:57, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Mark Ely and Hugh Talbot are ✅ as each other.
 * Shivani Dishan and Irene Walker75 are also ✅ as each other.
 * Sockpuppetry and/or meatpuppetry, whatever's going on here can't be reconciled with our policy on multiple accounts in my opinion. Hugh Talbot was created first, so he could chronologically be considered the master. WilliamH (talk) 03:21, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Despite a bit of an incomplete results above, I've ducked the whole list of them for Meating/Socking. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  03:50, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

This account was created today, and has edited mainly on Sam Edwards (poet, writer & independent film producer) of which is strikingly similar sounding to Richard English, writer and entrepreneur of which the above socks defended, I request a checkuser to see if there is any relation, between this and those.
 * Technically that Seditionary is related to Hugh Talbot.  AGK  [&bull; ] 21:22, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
