I have been concerned for some time about the promotional tone of articles (and even categories) being created by User:Talentforfilm on behalf of Kamran Qureshi, related company Evergreen Media Europe (article since deleted) and other figures in the Pakistan television industry. I have recently brought 2 new articles to Afd for 17- and 23-minute videos that I believe clearly fail WP:NFILM. Now a new SPA account appears at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Power of the Sea to testify to the usefulness of one of the nominated articles. 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 any attempt to deceive the community by adopting different identities 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, to see if this is just coincidence or not. Thanks. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:46, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
