In Articles for deletion/I Stephanie Boyce, the only Keep arguments on this AfD are the User:Vigilem, the creator of the article, and User:Smilkit, an account with no edits outside of the AfD. Both written in a similar style and both are unsigned. Additionallym User:Finns833 another SPA left a similar, unsigned comment on the AfD's talk page. The voting pattern, along with the odd formatting (blocks of text, no use of indentation, note actual vote) and the style of writing point strongly to all three accounts being the same person GPL93 (talk) 17:37, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

 * My take on this is more likely canvassed here from some external forum. None of them have perfect English, but they don't quite sound like the same person.  On the other hand, it's odd that Smilkit is a sleeper; their account was made on 22 October, 4 days before Vigilem (which technically means this is filed under the wrong master).  I'm going to leave this open to see if anybody else has another opinion.  -- RoySmith (talk) 00:34, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
