Hijinks related to the article and the related AFD,  claiming to the the subject's brother, 's only edit beyond the AFD was rather suspicious, quickly reverted by the IP,  then appeared claiming to be the subject , IP later became active again, claiming also to be the subject. The IP and Mwemmett have both previously edited a related article Nando, some of the IP's edits dating back to last year. Rehevkor ✉  16:59, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I believe this is sockpuppetry - but meatpuppetry is also plausible. There is enough evidence to warrant a checkuser to make sure, however. Rehevkor ✉  15:51, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment Actually User:Sylviayork3 made two other edits, a "don't delete" on the AfD page, which she removed minutes later.  Diff..  Twenty five minutes after that, User:Michaelwemmett added his own "don't delete" comment.  This is consistent with either sort of puppetry and I note it only because it seems odd that the two substantive additions made by User:Sylviayork3 were removed almost immediately thereafter.  It's almost as though she doesn't know her own mind.  JohnInDC (talk) 16:10, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

 * I've blocked michaelwemmett as a sock of Mwemmett per WP:DUCK. I'm going to leave the other account and the IP alone for now, as now that the article is deleted, I don't really see this going any further. But feel free to relist if there's further activity here. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 20:00, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
