 * Suspected sockpuppets

This is being submitted since a user at Articles for deletion/Julien Balkany has expressed concern over an article that has been edited primarily by SPAs. The article Julien Balkany has been edited predominantly by the editors with login names and their sole edits concern Balkany. Most are to the article and there's concern that all of the edits have been from one editor under different names. There is a concern over the article's notability and the sockpuppetry, especially since one of the SPAs have repeatedly removed the AfD template. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:51, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't think we can prove either way at the moment. However, since the accounts never edited concurrently (at least not significantly) I also don't see that this is done to mislead, deceive, disrupt, and thus it's not abuse of multiple accounts. They are single-purpose accounts, and they may have a conflict of interest. I think it's sufficient to focus on that. Amalthea  09:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
