User:Theevangalist1 created Antonio Davidson, which was tagged for speedy deletion. The editor than posted on the talk page to contest the speedy deletion:. Over the next thirty minutes, the various suspected sock accounts were created and posted on the talk page to also contest the speedy deletion, all with almost the same language ("a violation of freedom of speech"):,,. The original editor's only contributions have been to create the article, edit it, and post the contested deletion message. The suspected socks' only contributions have been to post the contested deletion messages. This is a case where the original editor is trying to use multiple accounts to create the impression that there is a large support to keep this article (which is irrelevant, as it will be speedy deleted under A7 anyway). Although it is a strong case, I am not 100% sure (the editor could have just gotten all of their friends to post), so I am requesting a Checkuser to make sure.

 * - Per WP:DUCK I've blocked and tagged the three socks, but I'll endorse to see if they're connected to the master, and if there are any other accounts lying around. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:46, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Um. According to checkuser, they're all ❌, coming from different computers in different parts of the country (and in one case, a different country). They don't appear to be using proxies either. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 21:48, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The article has been deleted, so all of their edits don't exist anymore. I'm closing this without further action, but relist if things happen. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:09, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
