Self admitted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Naruto Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising. They're trying to erase an article without consensus. Neocorelight (Talk) 04:33, 8 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Did you forgot I am a sockpuppet? I created my account and this User:X Y Found. I wanted to deleted this page. Paka rjet (talk) 14:34, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure if I believe that this person is some sockmaster from 9 years ago, but either way, real sock or stolen (lack of) valor, they clearly want to be indeffed, so I'll give them what they want. . CU as unnecessary, although I wouldn't be shocked if a check on this account tied it back to one of our frequent flyers. Closing.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 05:46, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

 * All of their [Paka rjet's] edits explicitly state they're a sockpuppet. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:26, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

 * 1st & 3rd . 2nd doesn't exist (not your fault, Mako; that's the username they linked to, but it doesn't exist and never has). Closing. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 14:40, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually, wait, I'll leave this open for a sleeper check, and to see if this ties back to someone other than the ostensible sockmaster from 2013. . --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 14:44, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, looking closer at Naruto Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising, a check against and their "brother"  in particular might be a good idea.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 14:48, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Josh's filing . Although guessing we'll settle on a different master name eventually. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 14:55, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

 * All of are  to each other on the raw CU data.  Given the behavioral evidence, I have no problem calling them ✅.  The data is a bit too messy for a good sleeper check, so I didn't attempt that.  And nothing jumps out at me for other possible masters, but I'll just move this to checked and let a clerk take it from here. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:24, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Roy. While acknowledging a possibility that RomanceLove88 really is this 2013 sockmaster, it seems much more likely to me that they impersonated Raj based on the faulty assumption that that would help them get the article deleted. (Given that RL88 previous gave us perhaps the worst-ever attempt at socking, that's... on-brand.) So I've moved this SPI to their name. . Closing. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 18:36, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh also, noting for the record that I'm assuming that the Kazakh IP-hopper in Special:PageHistory/Naruto Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising is RL88, in which case, it's worth noting, they were already socking at the time of their indef. (This edit summary is kiiiinda a giveaway.) --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 18:47, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * On that note, I've hardblocked 1 week. Ranges to monitor are:
