Historically these IPs have been adding variants of Ink to other articles, but as of today, these three IPs are all editing Jonathan Manzi (with overlap from master) and the related AFD. For context, Manzi is apparently the CEO/creator of Ink, which the master was blocked for recreating. Obviously can't connect IP to account but this is obvious meat puppetry.

 * - Blatant WP:AFDSOCKing. Please block the IPs for 7 days (end of the AFD). Cabayi (talk) 16:34, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Blocking individual IP addresses allocated to a mobile network operator won't accomplish much, unfortunately. It's trivially easy to hop to another IP address.  You'd have to do a range block for that to be worthwhile.  Luckily, these IP editors have a very narrow interest, so semi-protection is a quite viable alternative.  I've semi-protected Jonathan Manzi, Articles for deletion/Jonathan Manzi, and Ink (company) for a week instead, which will hopefully do the job. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:03, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
