Evidence submitted by Redfarmer
I was going to request checkuser on this but it seems pretty straight forward. Razorback2012 created the article Tyler Wilson. When it was nominated for deletion, a host of SPAs came out to support keeping the article, including one SPA that is only one number away from the puppeteer's username. While the IP has not voted in the AFD, it did edit one of the votes on the AFD as well as editing the Tyler Wilson article. Redfarmer (talk) 13:50, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

 * You are correct, I spent a lot of time on the article and feel that it is very worthy of not being deleted. I'm new to this whole thing and I'm not positive on all the guidelines. Guess I have a lot of reading to do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Razorback2012 (talk • contribs) 14:10, November 21, 2010
 * My problem is you can't really have believed it was ok to create several new accounts for the purpose of voting in the AFD? Even if you had any doubts, you could have easily asked a fellow editor such as myself who also believes the article should be kept. Redfarmer (talk) 14:22, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Understandable. I couldn't figure out how the voting actually worked. I figured that making multiple accounts and saying keep might help others think it needed to be kept. I didn't realize until later that saying keep actually counted as a vote. I thought votes could only be counted if you were an administrator. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Razorback2012 (talk • contribs) 15:20, November 21, 2010

I do not feel that further action against Razorback2011 is warranted as this appears to have been misguided but an outright attempt at disruption. I've left them a stern warning that further socking will result in a lengthy, of not indefinite, block. The registered sock are indef'd and I've decided to leave the IP as there doesn't seem much to be gained by blocking it. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   16:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
