is a relatively new account that in the past few months has created several articles about borderline-notable relatives of notable people. As these are picked up and start to go to AfD, two apparent socks have appeared, and, both similar-format usernames, created less than 24 hours apart. Both have instantly - and exclusively - started to edit the articles Thebiggangwiki has created, including this particularly improbably sequence of edits:, and. Both John9912 and Allas5 have started to sympathetically vote in AfDs, with similar arguments and syntax, and failing to sign their comments: Articles for deletion/Mona Rae Miracle (, and ), and at Articles for deletion/Hester Ford (2nd nomination) ( &, just three minutes between them). The quacks here are fairly loud and I can see no other explanation for the behaviour of these accounts, and it is clear from the AfD !votes that they are being used for an abusive purpose. It's clear that Thebiggangwiki intends to create further articles as part of Draft:Christie family and my concern is that the same sockpuppet-y behaviour will continue with those as well. ninety:one  14:52, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

 * ✅. Socks are bagged and tagged. Leaving master to be blocked at admin discretion.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   18:00, 15 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I have indefinitely the master due to the fact that it appears to have not been a simple misunderstanding of policy and used deliberately to deceive. The AGF sock template appears inappropriate given this and the attempt to undermine good faith consensus building. Closing.  The SandDoctor  Talk 06:13, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
