Indefatigable self-promoter, starting as Allen Keyz and Allen Jordan, more recently Allen J, with articles about his albums such as Amazin Muzak which he plugs until they get salted, and then varies the title like Amazin Muzak (Allen J album) or AMAZIN MUZAK. Various groups of these have been tagged as socks, but I do not think there has ever been an SPI. As he is still persistent (4 new socks in August, 3 in September) I thought it worth collecting all the cases I could find and starting one. Songboy193 is the oldest I have found (January 2008), so I have picked that as master. CU is not needed for confirmation, they are all DUCKs, and the older ones will be stale, but it might find some sleepers. JohnCD (talk) 21:05, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

More promotion of Allen J and his albums. Check for sleepers could be useful. JohnCD (talk) 20:13, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

More of the same, boosting "Allen J" and his albums and songs. I have just been blocking and tagging these as they appeared without bothering to report them, but as there was another today perhaps it is time to bring the list up to date - here they are, in order of creation. The three whose user pages show as redlinks have no, or no relevant, edits, so I have not blocked them, but will watch them. I don't see any need for a CU - the usernames and edits make these easy to detect. JohnCD (talk) 22:33, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

The naming trend speaks for itself (see case archive); also same edits to Fallin So In Love as other blocked sock User:Allenj322453. I recommend sleeper check considering the extreme extent of previous socking. :) · Salvidrim!  ·  &#9993;  04:29, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

 * An idea: can we setup a filter for "Allenj" with numbers? Checking the archive, it appears this is overwhelmingly the chosen name. I'm also considering salting the commonly created promo pages. :) · Salvidrim!  ·  &#9993;  04:32, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Blocked the two above for quacking like a jumbo jet; salted the most recent repeatedly created and CSD'ed page, Fallin So In Love; please check for sleepers, tag'em, block'em if not stale, archive this for the record, and go have a drink. :) · Salvidrim!  ·  &#9993;

 * Done: there were no sleepers? Done: sleeper check declined? Done: there were sleepers, but I'm not posting their names? I'd just like to understand what exactly was done with the sleeper check request. :) · Salvidrim!  ·  &#9993;  20:51, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * By done, I was referring to blacklisting the names. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 20:54, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks! :) · Salvidrim!  ·  &#9993;  21:37, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

This is a blast from the past - we haven't heard from him for over two years. Blocked and tagged per WP:DUCK; CU requested in case of sleepers, or in case any other recent socks have slipped past. JohnCD (talk) 09:36, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * - Because of the large number of accounts previously encountered, I'm endorsing a sleepers check.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:18, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I had to do a fairly deep sleeper check, but at least it paid off a bit. The following accounts are ✅:
