 * Report submission by

Yaktail recently created the page Beerluck, which I nominated for deletion in this AfD. As of this report, consensus has been to delete, with the exception of the 3 comments by the suspected socks.
 * Evidence

All three suspected socks have made few or no edits outside the article and its AfD discussion. (See their contributions for evidence of this.) Also, all three made the same comments in the AfD (Do Not Delete), with very similar reasoning in each case. (diffs: 1 2 3) Note that all three expressed the same misunderstanding of verifiability. It seems clear from this evidence that they are sockpuppets being used to "vote" multiple times in an AfD discussion.

Additional suspected sock, added 17:08, 24 January 2008 (UTC): The IP listed above has now also commented at the same AfD, giving the same "Do Not Delete" reason, worded in a very similar way. It is likely this IP is the same one the other suspected socks were editing from. Note that excluding a single unrelated edit almost 3 years ago, this IP has made no edits outside of the AfD.

Additional suspected sock, added 19:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC): Kylenstone commented in the AfD with the same comment, writing style, etc. Has made no edits other than that and a single unrelated edit months ago. Follows the same pattern as the rest.
