Comprehensive edits analysis
User makes edits to musician infoboxes adding the name "Clutch Kahn" or "Bradley Kahn" to the associated acts or former members field. This individual does not seem to exist, and if they do, there are no sources for notability nor ones associating them with any of the targeted musicians (Clutch Kahn itself is a redlink). Regularly makes new accounts or uses IP addresses to make these edits. Accounts make no other edits other than the inclusion of "Clutch Khan"

Targeted areas, pages, themes[edit]

Primarily targets the pages for 1980s alternative rock or blues rock artists, whose infoboxes are edited to include the fictional musician "Clutch Kahn" as an associated act or former member. The following pages are routinely targeted each time this vandal creates a new account or edits from a new IP address:

The Cure, Buddy Guy, The The, and Tones on Tail are the most frequent targets.

Other pages edited at least once to include "Clutch Kahn" or "Bradley Kahn" in the infobox:

Habitual behavior[edit]

The edit reasons for these edits are almost always "Adding associated act" or "adding forgotten musician" or something along those lines, making these edits very easy to spot on the above pages.
