Suspected sockpuppets

As seen on Articles for deletion//e/ mobile operating system, there is a mass Keep support from accounts that had no or small number of edits besides this AfD (including one account that returned after a year of hiatus specifically for this purpose) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and considering Mnair69 (his signature is Manoj Nair) is the only one besides these who is arguing for the article to be kept, I have my suspicions.

 * Was just typing at the SPI when I saw this: There's definitely enough to file a case but not enough for me to block on (I'm not a WP:CU). I will note that only Patrick_lp, Amitkma, and Alexletroll/AlexduCens were registered after the AfD was filed (Patrick_lp and Amitka within seven minutes of each other, Alex several hours later).  The rest were registered years before (even if they mostly remained completely inactive) and were registered far enough apart that I heavily suspect Mnair69, Indidea, Olivierd13, and FranckLefevre are distinct users.  For them to be the same user would involve some Orangemoody-ish sockpuppetry. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:10, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Based on the CU data, my suspicion here is that this is multiple people. Given that AfDs about open source projects tend to be flooded with keep !votes from their supporters, I don't think there is enough to block on here behaviorally. Closing. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:25, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
