Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kota Banks
 * 4 August 2018?, Jonnycraig888 comments followed 11 minutes later by 49.195.192.172 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kota_Banks&diff=853791706&oldid=853790351] who expands on that comment.

Articles created by the two named accounts are rather similar in their style, bombardment (ref stacking - Statement [ref] [ref] [ref] [ref]) and poor referencing (primarily just a link). eg Jonnycraig888, Kota Banks, Draft:Mickey Kojak, [], Draft:Slumberjack (note list of festivals followed by many refs). Kinder (band) (note list of festivals followed by many refs), Young Franco (ditto), Confidence Man (band), Robinson (singer), Manu Crooks.

Jonnycraig888 comments here at the teahouse about Joy (Australian musician) and Robinson (singer) both of which had just that day been created by Nana222222.

Draft:Cxloe. 4 August 2018 Jonnycraig888 created page Draft:Cxloe -. 5 August 2018? Nana222222 creates Cxloe (later moved to draft). Immediately after the creation of that article Jonnycraig888 removed the decline notice for their draft from their talk page.

Back and forth editing on 6 August 2018 Nana222222 7:08-7:28, Jonnycraig888 7:35-7:46, 122.150.90.239, 8:47-8:50, Nana222222 9:27-9:52, Jonnycraig888 10:23-10:58, Nana222222 11:29-11:42, 122.150.90.239, 13:03, Nana222222 13:19-14:46, Jonnycraig888 14:56-14:57, 122.150.90.239, 15:07-15:09. also.

They look like they could be two people sharing an IP address and collaborating (although in ways that circumvent processes) but there are other things - the AFD participation by Jonnycraig888, and the similar user pages - that look more like sock puppetry.

Hey guys! So sorry! We are just 2 friends trying to write articles about Australian musicians we believe meet the standard guidelines. A lot of notable people in this country aren't listed on the site so we just wanted to contribute and add some changes. It's all in good faith and we didnt realise we were doing anything wrong. Sorry if we have gone against the rules. We use the same wifi connection. We really have a passion for researching musicians in Australia and New Zealand. Honestly so sorry if we have done anything wrong. (49.195.192.172 (talk) 03:55, 8 August 2018 (UTC))
 * I'd almost be willing to believe this, but it's a stretch to believe that a brand new user, on their third edit, three minutes after creating their account, would find their way to AfD and start leaving meaningless comments on discussions unrelated to Australian musicians, such as, , . There's more like that as you work your way through the contribution history.  I can't see any explanation for those other than vandalism.  -- RoySmith (talk) 15:07, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

✅, blocked and tagged. I don't believe they are two separate people, but even if they are, they should be blocked. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:06, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

I do not see how creating a new account after a temporary IP address ban has been lifted is a wiki crime. I have served my time. This is the only account I now have. This is no longer a sockpuppet account as mine and my friends old account is no longer in use. It is all in goodwill. (Caseyjane8 (talk) 14:03, 4 October 2018 (UTC))

Unsurprisingly ✅. Blocked, and tagged, closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:15, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
