This is an undisclosed paid farm and constantly creating Greighwolfe (please see Doychinborisov's talk page). The master was registered in May, made their first edit on 16 November and recreated the same article in main space on 19th after Doychinborisov's several failed attempts. Doychinborisov failed to disclose paid editing when asked but, there is some evidence to confirm. GSS (talk |c|em ) 06:56, 21 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you for looking into this, the master in one of his edits on my talk page disclosed that so this sounds like a case of meatpuppetry becasue Doychinborisov's article was already in draft space when they asked Powdernplot to repost possibly in mainspace also, both editors declined to have any COI but there is some good evidence that they were paid to create this article (please check your email).

Powdernplot and Doychinborisov are ❌. , but there's no technical connection between the accounts. Yunshui 雲 水 09:22, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Just to follow up per GSS's email, the evidence presented indicates without a doubt that the article's subject has offered payment for a Wikipedia article, which makes any attempt to create such an article (especially in such a short timeframe) very suspect. The CU evidence also makes Powdernplot's "friends" claim very hard to believe, given the geographical separation between them; my personal suspicion based on what I've seen is that Powdernplot may be the subject's representative, whilst Doyinborisov is most likely a paid freelancer.
