Significant meatpuppetry and suspected sockpuppetry at Articles for deletion/Bantams Banter (podcast). AGF has a limit and it has been reached here. GiantSnowman 12:06, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

No meatpuppetry or sockpuppetry has taken place, Giant is simply upset that his unfair request to delete a wiki page created by me is not going his way. (RedJulianG40 (talk) 12:32, 2 June 2015 (UTC))

I've no idea what access admins have with regards to IP addresses but given I live in the Manchester area of the UK I'd hope that's case enough against Sockpuppetry.

With regards to Meatpuppetry, unlike RedJulianG40, I've left the discussion, steered clear of comments regarding other users and given this a more macro focus among a wide range of pocasts documented on Wikipedia, arguing that the proposal for removal of Bantams Banter really hinges on an opinion (that such a podcast is non-notable), which I don't feel is grounds for removal. I'd like to think my recent edits to various sporting articles (mainly relating to events ran by the Gaelic Athletic Association) would be taken into account, alongside my minimal involvement with Bradford City/Bantams Banter related articles. I hold no agenda other than to support articles relating to media outlets that I would deem to be notable enough and worthy of documenting. Calico1903 (talk) 22:42, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Group 1 is ✅ to each other:


 * Group 2 is ✅ to each other:


 * Group 3 is to each other:




 * Group 1 & 2 are to each other while Group 3 is  to the other groups.
 * . In terms of the interconnectedness of the groups, my instinct is leaning more towards meatpuppetry rather than sockpuppetry. Mike V • Talk 02:55, 3 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I've blocked RedJulianG40 for one month. I've blocked all the remaining accounts indefinitely. However, I tagged only the puppet accounts in Groups 1 and 2. I decided to block the accounts in Group 3 based in part on the technical evidence and the reasonable conclusion that if it's not sock puppetry, it's meat puppetry, which is also blockable. The IP hasn't edited since June 1. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:12, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
