 * Evidence

The suspected sockpuppet account User:Futuramadude has been used exclusively to support Mertozoro, firstly here and secondly here. Based on the time that this account was created, it seems that it was created when Mertozoro was losing an argument at Talk:Awesome Express.

A similar pattern can be established for User:Wikipowerman, an account also created the same evening during the debate at Talk:Awesome Express, which has so far only to comment on this article and on the AfD Articles_for_deletion/Craig_Mason to support a position adopted by Mertozoro.

I have listed the IP since it follows a pattern almost identical to the above, but has also been used to comment (twice) on the AfD at Articles for deletion/Grant Robertson, again supporting Mertozoro's position. This may help someone with checkuser access who wishes to (in)validate my suspicsion.

Whilst I suspected sockpuppetry at the Awesome Express talk page, I felt it wasn't really an abuse. Using it at AfD, however, appears to me to be just that.
