All these accounts seem to be vote stacking in Articles for deletion/Quantum anthropology (2nd nomination). The accounts use similar naming schemes, talking points, and turns of phrase evident in the AfD and also as listed here: Qbiol:"I just created my account, because of this discussion. I am teaching cultural anthropology for 14 years, incl. writing and reviewing of journal (Q4) articles", CulturAnt:"I am ethnologist and cultural anthropologist. I am researcher and associate professor at university.", MaterialistX: "I am senior researcher in anthropology." jps (talk) 16:05, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Qbiol and CulturAnt seem most suspicious to me, since both are SPAs that have only focused on the AFD. They were also created within a day of one another (Feb 21-22). GABHello! 17:09, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I'm just inherently suspicious of an editor whose first edit is to an AFD discussion. GABHello! 17:34, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
