Scentura is a "pyramid sales scheme" according to the Illinois Appellate Court. On 2 November 2011, User:NickBrunson began deleting large portions of sourced information from the Scentura article. I notified some other boards about this, and User:OlYeller21 found that Nick Bruson was the name for Scentura's web designer. On November 16, Bruson stopped editing, and 14 days later a new, single purpose account, User:OregonDucks97401 began editing Scentura, deleting the same references that Bruson did. This same deletion of large portion of sourced information continues to March 2, two days ago. Their arguments are the same longwinded affairs on the talk page also the same numbering and style: Nick Oregon Thank you. Calendar2 (talk) 12:07, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

In a talk page edit they refer to their 'banning' and several days later in a content page edit they continue the behaviour for which they were banned. The years-old edits by the IP are probably unrelated. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:32, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't see that this is WP:ILLEGIT. The original account has not, as far as I can tell, ever been blocked or banned. The edits may of course still be inappropriate, and if they are disruptive then that may be a cause for intervention of some kind, but I don't see abuse of multiple accounts.

 * Concur. If there are any future problems or abuses of the multiple account policy, please feel free to refile. TN X Man  13:14, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
