Firstly, see Articles for deletion/Childhood Domestic Violence. WMC created the article in question. Then LoneProtector comes to vote for keep. The most peculiar was the "master". Last edit before voting here happened in 2011. Mr. Magoo (talk) 19:51, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

I'd also like to point out the Malian Americans article which WMC had edited once before making the article in question. If you look at the history, it's absolutely littered with SPAs, beginning in about December last year. Why then? Before that: nothing. Bizarre goings-on. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 19:58, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

 * I am adding two other SPAs whose first edits are to vote, "keep": . Very dubious, so I am requesting CU. Owing to the potential AFD vote fraud, I think this is definitely serious enough to warrant it. GABHello! 21:45, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
 * See, and these edits: . They are all puppets of some kind, IMHO. GABHello! 22:52, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I'd like to know what you think about these results. My personal inclination is to block all three (PrinceHal, Ctm, Jenny), whose first edits were to the AFD page, as meatpuppets. The behavioral evidence clinches it for me, regardless of what the technical results are. GABHello! 00:28, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Blocking probably means nothing to these SPAs as they keep getting pumped out and they only do a single edit. I'll add the "not a ballot" warning to the AfD to possibly alert any browsing admin that this AfD is being massively SPA'd. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 13:19, 27 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Oi, I'm not a sock puppet! Equine-man (talk) 01:04, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The article's deleted, anyways, so the determination of sock or meat is not really important anymore. GABHello! 22:22, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Group 1 – the following accounts are ✅ to each other:
 * is to Group 1. They are hiding their true location.
 * is to Group 1. Just as likely meat.
 * is ❌ to any of the accounts.
 * I've blocked the Group 1 accounts without tags and will leave the rest for a clerk.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:58, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * PrinceHal7 is to Group 1. Again, just as likely to be meat.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:15, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Seams like their interest in Wikipedia ceased when their article was deleted. I'm closing this case with no further blocks.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:28, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
