In 2008, British art collector Mark Anthony Lawrence rediscovered the Francesco St Jerome, and it is currently being displayed in The Albertine Collection. However, that's basically all he's known for, so no article for him. Despite this, the article on him has been recreated on more than one occasion by more than one user.

User:Markus Albertine created Mark Albertine (who I'm pretty sure is the same person as Mark Anthony Lawrence), which was speedily under csd A7. A day later, User:Paulartfan creates the article Mark Anthony Lawrence (afd discussion here), which was also deleted due to lack of notability. Today, User:Fisherking1981 creates the article Mark anthony lawrence, which has since been deleted because the author blanked the page. On Fisherking1981's talk page, you see that the article was originally tagged for speedy deletion A7 before Fisherking1981 blanked it. The article has been deleted but I still remember what happened: I tagged the page for speedy deletion G7 after Fisherking1981 blanked it, but then Fisherking1981 reverted me, which I thought was strange. According to User:Markus Albertine's talk page he also blanked his article Mark Albertine after it was tagged for speedy deletion.

I add 82.7.175.21 because it created Draft:The Albertine Collection, was the only "keep" (besides the article's creator) on the Articles for Deletion:Mark Anthony Lawrence discussion, and has also edited in a promotional manner here. I also add IP 86.2.6.82 mainly due to this diff on Francesco St Jerome that appears to describe the painting's owner's (Mark Anthony Lawrence) thoughts. Everyone here has made edits promoting either Mark Anthony Lawrence or The Albertine Collection (See User:Paulartfan's edit, User:Fisherking1981's edit, and User:Markus Albertine's (self?) revert of 82.7.175.21 shortly after the edit was made. I think there's a good possibility that sock or maybe meatpuppetry is occurring. Sro23 (talk) 06:28, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
