Disruptive edits on Darryl Wezy to remove the AFD template make this seem like a WP:DUCK when Sheryl Mika has been removing the AFD notice as well: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (This evidence is in regards to IPs 118.136.163.245 and 118.136.177.222.) The rest are suspected due to all of the IPs having the same suspected interest in editing the articles Darryl Wezy and Maze of Fears (which, per the article, is a "Darryl Wezy" album.) Also, 118.136.115.133 has only edited Maze of Fears, but due to the similarity of the IP address to the rest, it cannot be immediately ruled out. Steel1943 (talk) 16:20, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Added another IP address 118.136.174.122 per these unconstructive edits and AFD notification removal: 1 2. Steel1943  (talk) 14:30, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Here's a series of edits that further validates 118.136.163.37 to be a sock: 1 2 3. This was a series of edits created that seems like an attempt to mask the fact that removing the AfD from Maze of Fears was not the next edit direct after the most previous constructive edit. (This edit also placed external links back into the opening section of the article.) Steel1943  (talk) 06:17, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Closing this case with no blocks made. It's clear this is all the same person, but I think it's more a matter of incompetence than malicious sockpuppetry. Sheryl probably has no idea what she is doing is wrong, and is also forgetting to log in sometimes. What I have done is semiprotect both articles for what should be the duration of the AFD. If disruption continues, especially at the AFD, please reopen this case. Someguy1221 (talk) 06:46, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Ironically, that's the same amount of time and the same type of page protection I requested on WP:RFPP. Anyways, that amount of time should let the AFD play itself out. Thanks. Steel1943  (talk) 06:58, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
