About a year ago User:ProspectCapital submitted Draft:John F. Barry III through articles for creation. Today User:Finguru888 (who hasn't disclosed being a paid editor) created John F. Barry, which is a carbon copy of the previous draft while also creating an article on Barry's company Prospect Capital Management. This is a very clear case of WP:MEAT and also WP:UPE at the very least. GPL93 (talk) 20:27, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

 * It took a while to sort through the history, between the various title changes, and a histmerge. But, yeah, clearly Finguru888 copy-pasted a saved copy of the deleted version from ProspectCapital.  Blocked and tagged.  -- RoySmith (talk) 23:19, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
