A brand new account which appears to have been created specifically to participate in this AfD. Sliekid participated in a few AFDs and almost all of his/her votes were delete but he/she !votes a keep in the aforementioned AFD even though the subject clearly fails WP:GNG. A glance at their AFD comments shows they know notability guidelines well but user yet votes in favor of SwashWafer. They could be either sock puppet or meat puppet. My main concern is gaming the system & distorting an AFD process by abusing multiple accounts. Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 04:56, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

 * I ran a check, and the result was . They don't seem to be the same person from a technical standpoint, but there is an oddity in the data that makes me doubt its conclusiveness. Mz7 (talk) 01:58, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm extremely suspicious of Sliekid (clearly not a new user), but I don't see enough evidence that they're working together. Closing without action. GeneralNotability (talk) 16:31, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

It appears that editor SwashWafer is a commercial editor and uses a sock Sliekid. First notified by user:SamHolt6 on January 25, 2020 to disclose commercial editing https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SwashWafer&oldid=937569287 then blanked his user page user talk:SwashWafer on October 17, 2020 and made the claim to be new to Wikipedia after user user:Umakant Bhalerao nominated another article he created which also seems to be a commercial edit for deletion https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SwashWafer&oldid=983976092. He appears to have created a sockpuppet Sliekid on November 4, 2020 to defend the article SwashWafer created https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Robbert_Rietbroek&oldid=987308665 and to have used that user identity to do an identical edit in the article that SwashWafer wrote https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robbert_Rietbroek&oldid=991295069. 12.236.168.101 (talk) 19:20, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
