Behaviourally, Snyth seems almost exclusively interested in the not independently notable artist named Deuce (aka ThaProdcer, Aron Erlichman) and is (re)creating articles about him and his works against consensus. In particular, note this sequence which shows the sock account Mavelon being used inappropriately:
 * AfD for Deuce (singer) (closes as redirect)
 * AfD for Aron "Deuce" Erlichman (closes as redirect, 23 April 2011)
 * Snyth reverts redirect (23 April 2011)
 * Aron "Deuce" Erlichman article is repeatedly recreated and restored to redirect until protected (21 October 2011)
 * Mavelon undoes redirect at Deuce (singer) (23 Oct 2011)
 * Snyth continues editing Deuce (singer)

Note Snyth's edits remain disruptive: in his most most recent (24 March) contributions he is again recreating the articles - this time by copying them into his user space and creating mainspace links to them. RichardOSmith (talk) 08:43, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The socks are pretty stale, but I've bagged and tagged them anyway. I suggest you have a word this editor, namely not to use multiple accounts to slant consensus or evade scrutiny, and not to edit against consensus. WilliamH (talk) 14:38, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
