All of these users are defending the article Asafedi, which has previously been speedied as a blatant hoax. On Talk:Asafedi, each one is giving a cookie cutter defense, claiming that the article's subject is indeed real. Given the similar names and rationales, I get the feeling that there is some sockpuppetry going on.
 * Evidence

Hmm, perhaps it is just someone who was, er, mentally unstable who wrote the artical and a bunch of pratical jokers thought it woulld be funny to say Asafedi like names and say how it was real for a joke? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.57.109 (talk) I don't think that Asapedi is the sockpuppereer, and that the others are meat puppets99.232.57.109 (talk) 00:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, i'm not a "puppet" of any kind, I just thought that it would be funny to say how it was the best country ever, but I do not know if it is real or not Rod Rayanman (talk) 00:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll trust you on that one. However, the other three users here all seem to be socks given their virtually identical names and reasoning. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I have added three more. I don't see the point of block users - they just go on creating more. But I do see every point in protecting the titles they create. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 07:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I am blocking the three accounts with essentially the same name as disruption only accounts. The user is welcome to create a new account and make productive contributions. Jehochman Talk 01:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
