Sockmaster this morning attempted to create article Rik Amrit which was promptly speedy deleted. The sockpuppets have then come back throughout the day and recreated the page with the exact same content. The sockpuppets are now using Talk:Rik Amrit to attempt to justify the inclusion of the article. Samuel Tarling (talk) 16:47, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Admin action needed - Yes, and also they are inserting links to Rik Amrit in other articles . Indef the socks and warn the master.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:38, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

I've just blocked all three accounts for an indefinite period. The socking was very obvious, and the master account was a single purpose account for promoting a person of its name. The use of sockpuppets to ignore the concerns around the article is unacceptable, and they have no other reason for editing I can see. Nick-D (talk) 07:54, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Master tagged. Everything else already taken care of. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 10:15, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
