 * I've added three accounts - two already blocked, one with no edits but matches the name of one of the deleted pages and was created a few hours after that page was deleted. Peter&#160;James (talk) 21:14, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

I don't understand how Dealdee is related. There are no contribs (including deleted) and nothing in the filter log, and the account was not created by any other user.
