I don't know anything about using multiple accounts if I'm confused about the accusations — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:9:2c80:20f:6900:ba54:45b8:6687 (talk • contribs) jni (talk) 18:05, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Accounts seem to be created for CSD notice removal only. I'm considering declining the CSD request and taking the article to PROD process instead, but haven't decided yet. When investigating I noticed User:Young Dedicated Proper (YDP), a zero-contributions (but real) user account whose userpage has been edited by more single-purpose accounts: Special:Contributions/Generalyim, Special:Contributions/DifferentStroke, Special:Contributions/Newboy89 and couple IPv6 addressed. Suggest blocking all. jni (talk) 18:05, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * A prod would do nothing, it would have been removed immediately and we would have been at the same crossroads. As it is the article has been deleted as it should have been as it didn't pass WP:GNG or CREDIBLY come close. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 18:08, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I do believe it was a borderline case for CSD. That is a different claim than estimating the probability of article's survival in some other deletion process. But some other admin already deleted it (the page in question is Young Dedicated Proper(YDP) (sic), to people not following this case from contrib histories :) and I'm not contesting the CSD closure - for one thing I have more important things to do than try to salvage some sockpuppet supported rap-artist page. jni (talk) 18:15, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Since lots of people here aren't admins, keeping the page deleted makes it harder for many of you to review what happened. I've accordingly restored the text, moved it to Sockpuppet investigations/New life88/YDP, blanked it, and protected it fully, and I've done the same for the talk page.  This way, nobody will be able to move it back to mainspace where it doesn't belong, but you can still view the history.  If you have any reason to edit either the "article" or its talk page, please let me know and I'll happily unprotect, or if I'm not around (I'm travelling a good deal this week), please leave a note at WP:RFPP.  If you include the diff for this edit, 583416812, it will show the reviewing admin that the protecting admin (me) wanted to unprotect it but wasn't online.

 * PS, I've done the same with Sockpuppet investigations/New life88/User YDP, which was formerly YDP's userpage. Nyttend (talk) 18:34, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking a sleeper sweep could always be good in this case too. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 18:29, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * I came across these accounts in an edit filter, so I decided to take a look. All named accounts plus are the same and have been blocked by other admins. . ​—DoRD (talk)​ 20:08, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
