 * Suspected sockpuppets

Various accounts affiliated with Deezy/Demetrice Jackson/Last Kings Entertainment that continuous recreate pages for the former two. Pretty clearly all sockpuppets and meatpuppets, notice the reversion history of the current Deezy article (if it is not deleted by the time someone sees this case then the most recent in that case). They are all promotional in nature, their only focusing being promoting this person and their record label. Also Deezy should be salted. They all look pretty WP:DUCK to me.

Below moved from duplicate SPI Legoktm (talk) 17:44, 22 January 2014 (UTC) Both accounts seem to be fixated on promoting Demetrice jackson, a rapper of questionable notability. Urbaninformative created the Demtrice jackson page in late December (link here) and it was speedy deleted as G4. User Hiphopfeign then shows up and recreates the page. When it is nominated for speedy deletion as G4, Urbaninformative shows up and removes the tag. Both accounts had previously participated in the afd for Deezy, a page that Hiphopfeign created and which Urbaninformative has now restored as a redirect to Demetrice jackson, despite the page having already been deleted seven times before.

 * Hadn't realised there was an open sock puppet case against these users. Copying comments to above SPI and requesting procedural closure of this one. Valenciano (talk) 10:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

The link between Hiphopfeign and Urbaninformative is very clear. Both accounts seem to be fixated on promoting Demetrice jackson, a rapper of questionable notability. Urbaninformative created the Demtrice jackson page in late December (link here) and it was speedy deleted as G4. User Hiphopfeign then shows up and recreates the page. When it is nominated for speedy deletion as G4, Urbaninformative arrives and removes the tag. Both accounts had previously participated in the afd for Deezy, a page that Hiphopfeign created and which Urbaninformative has now restored as a redirect to Demetrice jackson, despite the page having already been deleted seven times before.

 * Comment: I'll second all of the concerns here. The quacking is pretty loud and I've protected many pages that all seem to revolve around Demetrice Jackson or related topics in some form or fashion. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:17, 12 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey, long time not talk. You might want to look at the top case to see the full list of sockpuppets/meatpuppers revolving around the Demetrice Jackson/Deezy page. This account is clearly the most obvious sock though.  STATic  message me!  11:08, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

There was a recent SPI case, that took care of the socks and meats at the time, however the issue still rages on. Urbaninformative has seemingly made many other contributions, mostly to recent changes, to make it seem he is not a SPA, however a few days ago he once again created Demetrice Nguyen (after failing to create it at Deezy). The edit summary when he created it at Deezy was "spelling errors". This subject's article has been created by the various promotional accounts under names such as Deezy (has been deleted 7 times and was salted in the past), Demetrice jackson (salted) and Demetrice Jackson (salted). This subject has had articles deleted twice at AfD, Articles for deletion/Deezy and Articles for deletion/Demetrice Jackson, which both resulted in clear delete. However, on top of this, the page for Deezy's record label Last Kings Entertainment, where more possible socks, definitely meatpuppets; the ones linked above have all been editing, along with the record label's navbox Template:Last Kings Entertainment. All of these accounts are clearly SPA and promotional accounts, and they have the exact same behavior as the accounts in the previous SPI. This may not fall under an SPI, however after attempting discussion with two different admins, User: King of Hearts suggested I make a case page. I think Deezy and Demetrice Nguyen should be salted for one, but all these sock/meatpuppets need to be taken care of. Keep in mind this has to do with the issue in general and the dealing of all these sockpuppets and meatpuppets, I am not necessary suggesting a block on Urbaninformative, however, he/she is clearly affiliated with Deezy/Last Kings Entertainment as the other promotional accounts are, however they are just attempting to make it less obvious.

 * The evidence is fairly compelling. Suspected accounts blocked, and Urbaninformative for a month. The IP hasn't edited in a few days so no action needed there. Closing case now. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:31, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
