Both handles were created in a short period of time on 24 Jun 2013 to agitate for the deletion of an article with little exposure on Wikipedia, Omar Todd. The two accounts have both commented at Talk:Omar Todd and Articles for deletion/Omar Todd (2nd nomination). The article was initially deleted back in September 2012 via an AfD. Several versions were deleted via speedy deletes in February 2013, and these histories are summarized at in the section "Related deletion logs". Recently, a version of the article was userfied as the result of a DRV discussion and then incubated. I was the editor to whom the article was userfied. Since the mainspace article will soon be deleted one way or another, it is a puzzle as to why these accounts exist. These appear to be insider accounts, so hopefully checkuser will be able to find the master or masters. I've not provided additional diffs, as every edit in the contributions list for each of these editors is relevant. Unscintillating (talk) 06:52, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Please add User:AussieBlundit to the list of suspected sockpuppets. This editor created Omar Todd (actor) here at 1:35:26.  PixiePerilot tagged the article at 1:39:07.  The concern is that this is either one person or two people working together.  Also, I request that investigators review Articles for deletion/Omar Todd (3rd nomination) for single purpose account abuse (the count is seven spa's).  I've listed four suspected sockpuppets from this AfD.  I also request that investigators review this AfD for BLP issues.  Unscintillating (talk) 11:12, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

A bunch of SPAs dedicated to Elissa Sursara SiWren claims to have removed part of the article when it was actually Australia20172017. Talks about offline talks concerning part of the article. Shares the same concern about "deleted articles" being used as sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 22:43, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
