Account has shown continual disruptive editing by creating exactly the same, obviously non-notable articles. More importantly, the account has repeatedly engaged in removing CSD notices from said articles in yet another attempt to keep the information online. Following multiple and final warnings, the account has tried to by-pass the rule that the article creator may not themselves blank a template by using two IPs to do so at the following articles:. Please note that the latter is currently deleted and the former may soon too. Seems like a duck. Jay Σεβαστός discuss  09:33, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * You will also see that in one of the diffs, the account was also warned specifically about logging out and then attempting to remove CSD notices. -- Jay Σεβαστός discuss  09:35, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

An admin is needed to review deleted edits, and to tell whether the case is WP:DUCK.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:23, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, this looks like a duck to me. In the cases of NGEN Buddies, Shining laburnum city fc, and Shining Laburnum City F.C., the articles were created by Vikas edits, and then in all three of these articles V.e. and one or both of the IPs edit-warred in combination (and sometimes in alternation) to remove speedy deletion tags. The only other contributions of the IPs are (from one of them) to Rojid, quickly reverted as unconstructive, and written in a very similar style to Vikas edits' contributions. I have blocked all three (indef for Vikas, 3 months for the IPs in case they are reassigned to someone else). —David Eppstein (talk) 22:30, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * With the account and IPs blocked, everything looks set here. Mike V • Talk 14:01, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
