I have started a AfD of the article Katherine Sweetman created by User:Wikiuserz rights. The two IP accounts have made similar edits to Katherine Sweetman and similar arguments on the AFD without any identification. All three accounts seem to be single purpose acounts, having mostly edited articles about or related to Katherine Sweetman

The arguments made by the two IPs on the AfD discussion are quite similar in terms of tone and as well as using a list of references alone as arguing for notability: 1a and 2a which is reflected in the original article as created by Wikiuzers rights which attempts to create notability about the subject through the quantity of external links, citations, references, etc that mention, however tangentially, the subject of the article presented rather than the quality of third party NPOV sources 3a as well as Lui Velazquez, another article created by Wikiuzers rights 4a.

Also Wikiuzers rights and 74.2.217.88 have deleted information on Mixed Martial Arts related pages (see 1b and 2b).

IP 99.116.200.12 has also recently deleted information from a talk page (COI notification is that it was my comment that was deleted) 3b

Since this investigation is directly related to an current AfD discussion I hope it is looked at soon. Thanks XinJeisan (talk) 09:36, 21 February 2011 (UTC) XinJeisan (talk) 09:36, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

 * The two IP addresses you link to in the AFD don't seem to be trying to do anything they shouldn't. One of them says keep but doesn't sign their name, and the other doesn't vote at all, just adding additional references, and also not signing their name.  And I don't see wikiuserz rights posting anything in that discussion at all.  Did you ask if it was the same person or not?  I see no signs of deliberate deception going on here.

 * The IPs geolocate to LA and San Diego. It's possible they're the same, but I tend to think that one of them (the 74.2 IP) is Wikiuserz and the other isn't. The 74.2 IP hasn't edited in a few days, so a block would be premature. I've left a warning with the 99 IP to log in if they have an account. As far as the AFD goes, the second IP is an SPA if nothing else. I'm closing this with no further action, but relist if any of the accounts become active at the same time. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:15, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
