 * This pretty clearly reads as multiple people. The writing styles and arguments are quite different even if the overall position is the same. I suspect that there was some offsite canvassing here, but with the discussion closed, it's unlikely to continue. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:46, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

similar to the others; account created solely for the purpose of voting keep. This one actually voted on the discussion, while others posted a comment at the AfD's talk page, but I believe they are all the same user. w umbolo  ^^^  07:00, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

CelticUser here, and the comment of which I was accused of Sockpuppetry was my first time commenting on an issue, and I know I did it wrong because when my comment appeared, there was no bullet mark to the left of my comment unlike the others. I can assure you I only commented ONCE. Apologies for doing this wrong. I hope this comment is in the correct place, but I find the interface very confusing unlike other online forms. CelticUser (talk) 07:12, 23 October 2018 (UTC) God bless you. See I am learning, I did the tilde thing.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * a quick glance suggests this is a different person. It's a controversial topic, which is probably the easiest explanation for the accounts, and MEAT or just new people becoming aware of it is more likely. Given the explanation above, I don't see the need to violate CelticUser's privacy with a CU. A clerk or other admin can assess behaviorally as to whether or not they think there is a MEAT or SOCK violation. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:07, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
