An editor with a given COI (paid editing) towards NoMachine is pushing NoMachine into Comparison of remote desktop software (here, here and here). As the program had no own article, it was r4emoved conform the page notice: ''To be included in this list, the product must be notable, which means it must have an article written first. Redlinks or entries not linked to an article will be removed.'' Stokerbean tried to solve that with Draft:NoMachine, what was almost immediately declined. Shortly after that, user:Fillybotch registered, who added a link to NX (a disambiguation page) but not to the software package). Stokerbean and Fillybotch have a very similar edit interest . Next step was to take over a redirect and turn it into an advertisement (the redirect was there because an earlier version was an advertisement). I nominated the article for deletion at noon. At 14:48 the brand new user Techtalker48 (registered at 14:42) comes to the talkpage to protest against the possible removal (Talk:NoMachine). Techtalker48 has the same interest as Stokerbean and Fillybotch. At 14:58 Stokerbean shows up at Articles for deletion/NoMachine (2nd nomination) to protest the removal. I especially tripped over his comment The page in question is no different to the other brands pages which talk about remote desktop. nearly identical with the comment of Techtalker48.

To my opinion, Fillybotch and Techtalker48 are sockpuppets of Stokerbean and part of an advertisement campaign by a paid editor. Seeing how quick the new users were made, a check for sleepers can be useful. The Banner talk 15:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Topolino1935 is a freshly created account (16:06; 20-6-2020), registered less than an hour before his first edit (16:21). His editing interest is very similar with Stokerbean: Contribution. I assume the the account is abandoned after User:MrOllie gave a gave a warning about paid editing.

Pipitas23 is a freshly created account (11:42; 22-6-2020), registered shortly before his first edit (16:21). His editing interest is very similar with Stokerbean: Contribution.

This looks like a duck farm to me and not new genuine new accounts. The Banner talk 15:44, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

 * - Concur with the filer, two new accounts with a single-minded interest in a new page where UPE is involved is a strong behavioral indication. Because there are UPE concerns, self-endorsing for CU - sleeper check, please. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:35, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
