The accounts and IPs listed above are all single-purpose accounts who have tried to promote the company Algorates (now deleted), or influence the outcome of Articles for deletion/Algorates.

The accounts TDKSociety and 1744Y are definitely the same person, each making identical edits to the same group of articles to promote the company Algorates (example: this edit by TDKSociety is identical to this edit by 1744Y). That itself doesn't imply sockpuppetry because TDKSociety was soft-blocked with advice to simply create a new account (see User talk:TDKSociety), and the editor evidently followed that advice.

However, the fact that TDKSociety's new account 1744Y was created within 18 hours of the creation of disruptive accounts JeffB211 and Market551, and their single-purpose nature, suggests that they are related. JeffB211 disrupted the AFD about Algorates, blanking the page and inserting comments.

JeffB7211 was blocked by for disruption and likely socking. The IP address contributions occurred after this block.

I'm not sure what to make of FinanceGIK other than point out its single-purpose nature. It was created on 27 September to disrupt the AFD. It has a couple contributions to the article also. All contributions occurred on 9/27. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:44, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Just added two more SPAs, 744TFY and Ari.benesh. both have recreated the article, Ari.benesh is promoting the "experts" in various articles. 744TFY name is very similar to 1744Y. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 14:33, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Um, Ari.benesh is stale. All edits from that account, including deleted contributions, are from 2013.
 * The article Algorates is now create-protected, and the AFD discussion is now semi-protected.
 * With the appearance of new disruption, it may be prudent to check for sleepers. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:09, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Blanking closed AfD Articles for deletion/Algorates.  Dwpaul  Talk   14:58, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what to make of this. 87.202.173.234 traces to Greece and two other promo SPAs, 46.251.119.65 and 109.64.56.43 trace to Cyprus and Israel. Easy enough, except that the IPs in the other case trace to Los Angeles. Open IPs, meatpuppets or what? - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 15:29, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Not sure either, but was very WP:DUCKy. This IP has received a uw-delete4im to stop blanking the closed AfD or be blocked, perhaps wait for their next move, if any, to better understand their relationship to the other case?  Dwpaul   Talk   15:36, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
