Both voting delete in this AfD, and launching identical bad-faith SPIs (compare this and this). wumbolo ^^^ 08:55, 7 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Casting "sockpuppet" aspersions towards Aidayoung just like the sockmaster. wumbolo ^^^ 08:14, 10 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Two brand-new users, only activity has been around Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oleg Viktorovich Maltsev (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oleg Viktorovich Maltsev (3rd nomination). Possibly related to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Russians Don`t give up/Archive. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:35, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply

•  Clerk endorsed but note that Marsellus W was already checked against Russians Don`t give up and found  Unrelated. Their first edit was removing a prod over a year ago on a promotional article written by DrPoglum, an editor who is still active. Then they didn't edit at all until the first Oleg Viktorovich Maltsev AfD, and when that did not close in favour of their argument they gamed autoconfirmation to create a new AfD - this is "obviously somebody's sock" behaviour. Their new AfD was nothing but an accusation that everyone else must be a sockpuppet, and so was their attempt at taking the first AfD to deletion review. Retorno Pul was created after Marsellus W was blocked and has done nothing but create a third AfD in exactly the same tone.

•  Likely to Russians Don`t give up. One of the problems with these checks is there is very little technical data. Marsellus W had one non-stale edit, and Retorno Pul has five.  Blocked without tags.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 16:07, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Thanks, I'm going to go ahead and merge, then. The behavioural evidence is strong, I was only going by the previous unrelated result that they shouldn't be considered socks. Ivanvector ( ^Talk/ _Edits) 16:12, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply

 Done. Tagging as appropriate; case closed. Ivanvector ( ^Talk/ _Edits) 16:14, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
