All WP:SPA users are here to promote Shaze Tempain and his album Sakkarawattam (First Sinhala Rap Album) they have no other edits rather than promoting the artist and his work. Where other users has created articles about the artist, user Sinhalarap created a new page Sinhala Rap today where he cited some links related to Shaze Tempain.

 * - Can we compare these accounts to one another? They are clearly editing to promote the same musician, and the undeleted edits reveal that two socks are badgering other editors in a similar way: . Thanks, GABgab 21:42, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The accounts are ✅ to each other and blocked. Rather than my tagging or instructing you, please let me know how you would tag the master and the puppets. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:00, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I obviously can't see the deleted pages, but I can make some conclusions. There is a behavioral style shared with the master - such as this pleading accompanied by a barnstar - that seems similar to the new batch. Also, the edit filter logs indicate that removing deletion tags is another commonality. Of course, they've edited the same articles on the same subjects. I'd recommend tagging the master as a "suspected master," and the socks as suspected (or perhaps proven) socks. Regards, GABgab 00:08, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * In this instance, seeing the deleted pages isn't all that important. I agree with the tagging of the master, but your proposed tagging of the puppets is incomplete because it doesn't capture the confirmation by a CU. So, slap two tags on each of the puppet userpages. The first is, and the second is the usual tag for a blocked puppet - suspected or proven, but I'd lean toward proven in this case.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:33, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
