– This SPI case is closed and will be archived shortly by an SPI clerk or checkuser.

Suspected sockpuppets

Ratherbe2000 voted keep at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stacy Layne Matthews (an article they created). The first edit made by Mister saxobeatasap was to vote keep, stating they were siding with Ratherbe2000 and giving a rationale similar to not only Ratherbe2000's vote in that AfD but also similar to multiple AfD votes and comments by them [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Note also the use of "more than 1" instead of "more than one". Mister saxobeatasap's second edit was this message on Ratherbe2000's talk page, say they "really do want to help" them. I suspect this is meatpuppetry if it's not sockpuppetry. Linguist111my talk page 20:20, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

18 December 2018

– A user has requested CheckUser. An SPI clerk will shortly look at the case and endorse or decline the request.

Suspected sockpuppets

The first account was created soon after Ratherbe2000 was blocked indefinitely for sockpuppetry, and their only edit was to vote keep at the same AfD the sockmaster socked at with an WP:ASSERTN-violating argument, similar to those that are typical of the sockmaster [7] The second account also gave an ASSERTN-violating argument at the same AfD; aside from two edits at the AfD subject [8][9], this was their only edit after over two years of inactivity. The third account just made a non-policy-based keep vote at the same AfD [10] after nearly six months of inactivity. Linguist111my talk page 03:08, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added an IP whose only edit was to vote keep in the same discussion [11]. Linguist111my talk page 03:22, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Added another user whose only contribution is this keep vote. Linguist111my talk page 05:00, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This accusation was based on the article for deletion page for Stacy Layne Matthews and is in bad faith. An editor making a fake case for an "attack" or to prevent their own editing being examined. When my IP is checked, hopefully this discussion can move forward on to the more concerning issue that this article is considered for deletion on grounds of censorship and discrimination.

Not a sockpuppet. I'm a brazilian user who is more active at Wikipidia em Português, as it can be seen here. All I did was to revert vandalism made by this IP and contribute in the discussion about the relevance of the page. After all this brigading against those who are editing and discussing, Im feeling that the investigation and the deleting proceedings are not being impersonal.Simonecv (talk) 13:39, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
