A new account that start an AFD, and claim the account is a sock account without disclosing the sockmaster account. Thus, it is not a legit use of sock account.

At the same time, 3 ips also vote delete and two of ips pretended they are registered by using fake account name "User:Phothudaw" or "User:BurmaWiki866" in the signatures, which those ips look like related to me. May be the ips and the registered user (the Afd nominator) are two groups BTW.

Made a CU request to spot the possible sockmaster of the registered account. Matthew hk (talk) 17:07, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

There is some talk among participants about political retaliation for participating in this AfD involving a controversial figure in Myanmar society and one instance of outing that I've reported to Oversighters. I think that there might be a real need for an editor to have an alternative account to propose this AfD. It's clearly important that there is no double voting in this deletion discussion but I think it might be worth talking to TDH Skypaper to see if he/she could reveal to checkusers or ArbCom what his/her primary account is.

 * Ok, it may be stale and/or belong to other group of editors as i saw the ip range has a lot of area of interest so that it may be used by a lot of not registered individuals. But one of them seem has a heated argument in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Royalty and Nobility and in Talk:Taingda Princess, Articles for deletion/Princess Anna of Bavaria and in Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark (2nd nomination) (created by 136.228.175.12, and deleted due to speedy G3), so that i am not sure the use of such afd-only account is legit use or not.


 * Also i spotted 136.228.175.163, now stale, has the same faking as registered user behaviour. Matthew hk (talk) 19:02, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

 * with respect to connecting TDH Skypaper to their master account per Liz's rationale, and we cannot publicly comment on whether the IPs are TDH Skypaper either. To counter the vote-stacking from the IPs, I've decided to partially block the range from participating in that AfD for a period of 1 week. I think that should be sufficient for the time being; as Liz mentioned, it may be a good idea to simply ask TDH Skypaper directly why they are using multiple accounts and whether they would be willing to disclose to CUs or ArbCom what their main account is.

 * For the record - they seem to have gone dormant, but I left them a note asking them to consider emailing ArbCom to disclose the relationship with their main account. They haven't edited in a week, no idea if they'll be back. GeneralNotability (talk) 03:02, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
