I have believed for some time that User:Talentforfilm may be a paid spam editor in the employ of Kamran Qureshi or related company Evergreen Media Europe (article since deleted). Talentforfilm has been creating a great many articles and categories related to this operation -- some of which have since been deleted. I have recently brought two more articles for Afd for 17- and 23-minute videos that I believe clearly fail WP:NFILM. Now a new SPA account appears at one of the Afds to testify to the usefulness of the nominated article. There is a similarity in username and the same poor command of English -- despite the editor presenting himself as an unconnected British "researcher" interested in U.K. military history. Yes, I know it's just one edit thus far -- but an attempt to masquerade and mislead at Xfd is a red flag for me, a sign that things have gone too far. I was wondering if you could look into this. Thanks. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:46, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
