Suspicious activity regarding the article Wordeep. Livingangelusa gamed autoconfirmed to create Wordeep in mainspace. The article was tagged for speedy deletion, but the tag was removed by Michaeljbrown2 ; Michaeljbrown2 had previously created Draft:Wordeep. Stevegrtz woke up after 5 years of no edits to vote keep on the AfD for Wordeep: That account previously created an article for a proofreading software called EAngel, and there is off-wiki evidence that EAngel is related to Wordeep, which I can email to a clerk if necessary. I think it's clear from the behavioural evidence that this is meatpuppetry at the very least, but I'm requesting Checkuser to see if this is part of a larger operation.

 * I too have been struck by behavioral similarities, both in the Wordeep CSD and AfD involvement, but also in the similar and unusual priming of the Talk pages: Livingangelusa at 5:09 on the 25th, shortly after commenting on the CSD, Michaeljbrown2 at 6:09 on the 25th, shortly before removing the CSD, then Stevegrtz at 16:17 on the 25th, shortly before adding a keep opinion to the AfD.

 * Hi friends, it's pretty insulting that relatively new contributors like myself try to participate and edit or create new entries, and then you call it Sockpuppetry. Please go on and do your checks, I have nothing to hide. I invest my own time, with no reward, but if you do not want that, that's fine too. Let me know what you decide. In addition, why did you write on my talk page to respond to some other user allegations: Stevegrtz? How can I know what this other user did? Livingangelusa (Livingangelusa)
 * Logged-in after a few years that I was pretty busy with work, just to see that I am accused of not being a real person? That's weird... If you don't like my contributions or you think that they are wrong or incorrect that's fine, but don't accuse me for something that I am not. I like tech stuff, and cover AI/NLP related companies and technologies. That's what I do and I'm a real person, and would be happy to speak with anyone by any mean. --Stevegrtz (talk) 15:10, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * - Possible vote fraud at AfD: Articles for deletion/Wordeep. I see similarities between the vote by Livingangelusa and Stevegrtz, which I can list if needed. I am confident that Livingangelusa and Michaeljbrown2 are the same person who based on behavioral evidence around Draft:Wordeep and Wordeep.
