 * Suspected sockpuppets

WP:COI on Kriss Perras Running Waters, Running Waters Productions and First Canyon Rain as well as to a certain extend on Henry Mortensen (actor). Vote stacking on the related AfDs, see Articles for deletion/Kriss Perras Running Waters and Henry Mortensen (actor). Maybe meatpuppets, but I somewhat doubt it. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  01:50, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm not entirely sure whether this is sockpuppetry or just votestacking. The flurry of new accounts is suspect from the standpoint of the AfD, but I'm not convinced the same user is directly behind the accounts. I do strongly suspect that new users were recruited to the AfD discussion. —C.Fred (talk) 02:03, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, Articles for deletion/Kriss Perras Running Waters is still ongoing, so the CheckUser request appears to be out of order at this time. —C.Fred (talk) 02:04, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * They are members of a gmail group per . Someone probably noticed the AFD and sent out a mass email. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 02:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Requested by -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  01:50, 10 March 2009 (UTC) It seems fairly clear, without CU, that this is not a WP:SOCK violation. Mayalld (talk) 23:04, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

Whilst it is clear that there is a good deal of WP:CANVASSing going on, it is also clear that whilst the canvassing is attracting like minded keep !votes, the various SPAs are sufficiently independent in their actions that it isn't meatpuppetry. I'm sure that the closing admin will take proper account of the canvassing issue when closing the AFD. Mayalld (talk) 23:04, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Mayalld (talk) 23:04, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
