 * Surely the repeated creation of multiple WP:FAKEARTICLEs in user space is disruptive editing? Disruptive editing infringes community standards which is identified in WP:SOCK as the use of multiple Wikipedia user accounts for an improper purpose and therefore appropriate for SPI investigation. The IP has a track record, having been warned in early January for similar behaviour. See Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:SandyMcNally/sandbox, Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:ShermanMcManus/sandbox and Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:RoccoandJP/sandbox. User space for these 3, in which the IP was involved and warned, was deleted by Admin BDD on 11 January. The articles are indisputably fake. They contain completely erroneous details of participants which in main space would be construed as violating WP:BLP and should be deleted as WP:HOAXs G3 under CSD. Action against the IP is imperative in view of ignored warnings and continued use of WP as a fake reality game show host. Leaky  Caldron  11:02, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree that it is likely disruptive editing, but those MfDs you linked to provide an abuse of multiple accounts. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:21, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm not seeing an abuse of multiple accounts here, though a block for WP:NOTHERE might be on the table but that should go to ANI. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:23, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I've blocked the IP for a month given that they've ignored the previous warning and CU won't connect them anyway. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:21, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * - There is a very likely link between the users. Given the MfD pages Leaky caldron linked to the creation of new accounts to avoid the scrutiny of having the sandboxs deleted is WP:Illegit and so is an abuse of multiple accounts. Would a CU please confirm the links between the named accounts and the accounts Leaky linked to, plus any others which come up. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:21, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
