RfC for single-use accounts on AfD and potential meatpuppetry
On this AfD there seem to be an astounding amount of single-use accounts voting Keep. One of the accounts on the AfD has already been blocked for being a confirmed sockpuppet. The amount of single-use accounts is a bit overwhelming, and I am wondering if anything can be done about it as I think it has gotten to a stage now where it is disrupting the AfD. The majority of the single-use accounts do not cite any evidence relating to Wikipedia policy, and seem to ignore the concerns of the AfD, but feel it necessary to vote Keep anyway. I know I should assume good faith, but not only has the creator of this article been blocked for being a confirmed sockpuppet, but so have 8 other accounts with a COI with the article's subject, within the last week. I personally believe there is a lot of spamming going on in this AfD in the hope that the closing admin will leave it as no consensus due to the amount of Keep votes. Anyway just curious if there was a relevant bit of policy to address this. DRosin (talk) 13:12, 17 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Have you considered a request for semi-protection? AFAIK, the rules are the same for semi-protecting AfDs as they are for any other sock-infested page.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:09, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
