The complaint here would be of !vote-stacking at Articles for deletion/Tracy Goode and that looks quite plausible. (It would help to be explicit about the abuse complained of at SPI.) However,  is hardly an SPA having been contributing for some four years now.

It is curious that complainant has been contributing for just one day and this case is apparently his second ever contribution. Something to be explained here? Rhomb (talk) 07:43, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, and it's also suspicious that he knows the speedy deletion template as well. -- B s a d o w s k i 1   07:45, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Since Harry also went to the Governor's Island article during his short stay, would it make sense to see if he's also a sock of ? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:26, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

to check on the filer -. Something doesn't seem right here per Rhomb's note. As to the named accounts and IPs, I'm not sure there's enough basis to run a check. The IPs geolocate to different locations and belong to different ISPs, so they are unlikely to be the same user. To the extent there is votestacking by the named accounts and IPs except, it is unlikely to affect the AfD's outcome either way, and in any event the diversity of the IPs suggests that meatpuppetry is more likely, in which case CU is going to be of limited value.

 * Clarify why I restored Tim's endorse - he noticed the similarity between the filer and this case, and, which was CU'd and blocked as Pickbothmanlol after a previous and similar case. And there are a couple of new accounts on that AfD, probably worth a check on those as well. Nathan  T 19:38, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, I don't think it will hurt to run a check on the suspected socks, as I suspect either blatant off-wiki canvassing/meatpuppetry or straight socking. Many of the IPs go to Georgia, with a couple of them I cannot exactly pinpoint where going off the WHOIS information. But yeah, I agree that something isn't right regarding the filer's very first edits are submitting an SPI (as well as nominating an article for AFD immediately afterwards). –MuZemike 19:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
