A tag team or meat/sock folk creating identical drafts including:

None of these drafts seems to have a snowball's chance in hell of surviving. We have a duck quacking into a megaphone, but I'm going to suggest CU because of the determination to get the draft into mainspace. I suspect sleepers.

Please also see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Kayleyrae319&oldid=1047074071 which has been concealed from view. What we have here is paid editing descending into UPE Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 15:09, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See also this diff where it is declared that paid editing was abandoned on one article, and that no actual payment was received. Cause and effect is not stated Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 21:50, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the editor Ryanmbeachy has the same surname as the artist they are writing about – there appears to be some form of autobiography or COI going on here. Richard3120 (talk) 15:09, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk endorsed - fairly obvious, but confirmation and a check for sleepers would be beneficial. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 06:21, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ryanmbeachy and Magarcia2020 are Confirmed to each other, and Kayleyrae319 is Likely to them. Potential sleepers, but busy ranges. Behavioural evidence needs evaluation, leaving blocking/tagging to the closing admin clerk ~TheresNoTime ^{(to explain!)} 00:35, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
They are all spamming the same thing, so the behavioural evidence is clear. Awaiting administrative action - please indef all three accounts. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 23:55, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked and tagged. Closing. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 18:53, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AngelYear is Confirmed to Matthew Beachy Lil Crush, who produced an identical draft that was G11ed. The old accounts are stale, but from the CU logs I wonder whether this is someone who tried to write an article about themselves in the first instance, and then afterwards decided to pay a dubious outfit to do it for them - there are proxies at play, but I think they're on different continents. Long story short: I'm going to block without tags. If I might venture to offer Praxidicae, who I hope knows how highly I regard her, a smidgen of advice: your SPI reports will come across more strongly if you refrain from insulting the subjects of articles/drafts. I have long-since given up on having any kind of opinion about what musicians call themselves - Lil Crush doesn't seem particularly ridiculous by today's standards, and I'm a fan of Ziggy Stardust so meh. Better if we keep reports like this entirely dispassionate. Feel free to e-mail me some rude words about this comment if you wish. Girth Summit _(blether) 22:17, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
