Overlapping edits to David Lyric, Ntelabi (about the singer Ntelabi Bukari, whose name is the same as the oldest account in the group), Timi Alaibe, and Dan Caldwell. Examples: Draft:Augustine Ntelabi Bukari, created by AlikotoSam, is largely identical to the article Ntelabi, created by DudejaPrince (and also edited by AlikotoSam - the draft may be an attempt to save it from deletion, as the live article is in AfD) ; also the repeated uploading of copyrighted images by Ntelabi Bukari and DudejaPrince - sometimes the same images, of e.g. David Lyric and Dan Caldwell. The last straw was earlier today when Ntelabi Bukari had been temporarily blocked for repeated copyright violations (uploading copyrighted images of Dan Caldwell found on the web), and DudejaPrince uploaded another such image which was then immediately added to Dan Caldwell by Ur Chirag. As the images in question have been speedy deleted, I can't provide diffs for that, but the rationales and "permissions" were very similar.

I think the behavioural evidence is pretty strong, but since there have been new accounts appearing recently, I think a CU would be useful. bonadea contributions talk 20:55, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Similar writing style: Ntelabi Bukari and DudejaPrince. Also note that DP claims that they received permissions in an email - that's a claim Ntelabi Bukari also made at File:David Lyric.jpg (and elsewhere IIRC - again, I can't access the deleted files to check). --bonadea contributions talk 21:12, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
