• Code letter: D
• Supporting evidence: The closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/G. Edward Griffin (2nd nomination) has been challenged here and here, and implicitly by the continued recreation of (now salted) G. Edward Griffin & Edward Griffin. Most of these accounts are new, all but three participated in the AfD (keep votes), and each has expressed an interest in retaining the now-deleted article.

See also Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/LakeOswego. The closure of this AfD likely will end up at WP:DRV, so it would be useful to know just how many of these new or seldom-used accounts that appeared to vote keep are actually abusive sockpuppets.

The DRV is open and there's now 3 more on this list... — Scientizzle 07:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I've added User:1215. They started the deletion review within their first few edits. How odd is that? Jehochman ^Talk 11:47, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I think CheckUser will be useless here. See [1], [2] and a Google search, lots of weird stuff pops up here, but most obvious is this (scroll down a bit). "My listing in Wikipedia is being considered for deletion because some readers have labeled me a conspiracy theorist and a promoter of quack cancer cures. These people undoubtedly are well intentioned but suffering from a severe case of knowledge deficiency. If you are inclined, please go to the Wikipedia web site and enter a statement of support. Hopefully, there will be enough of these to offset the voices of ignorance. Here's how: (1) go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._Edward_Griffin; (2) click on Discussion; (3) set up a user name and password; (4) log in and submit your statement. Thank you."

Inconclusive - all basically SPAs and the comments above seem to corroborate that - Alison ^❤ 23:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Interesting. LegitimateSock seems to indicate that there is a lot of canvassing going on here, which is supported by the finding. Now that the article of interest has been deleted and salted, I expect things will calm down. The DRV was snow closed, endorse. Jehochman ^Talk 23:42, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
