Jessewaugh account and listed IPs have aggressively defended the article Jesse Waugh at AfD or Jesse Waugh material on the wiki.
- All listed IPs geolocate to Spain. External search establish a connection between Spain and article subject. Three IPs from Spain might be normal on the Spanish Wikipedia but here it is a large anomoly.
- 81.44.32.50 canvassed about fifteen editors to vote at the AfD, with the phrase "Hi, I’m writing to ask if you might be willing to contribute a vote on the Articles for Deletion page for Jesse Waugh. The vote already took place based on the article’s current sources, but certain people seem to be determined to get it deleted. Thanks either way."
- First Afd (for Jesse R. Waugh) was rife with sockpuppets. 104.163.147.121 (talk) 00:41, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- the sockpuppets investigated and confirmed in the first AfD came about as a result of the same event: someone nominating the Waugh page for deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.163.147.121 (talk) 00:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- I've added Cinesis, a an old blocked account that was socking at the first AfD, as its main contrib seems to have been promoting the Jesse Waugh art manifesto "pulchrism" by adding it to the Wiki. There are a half dozen socks attached to that account-- do they come up automatically when the master is searched?104.163.147.121 (talk) 02:16, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- I've added The Master, as they a) created the current Waugh article from Draft, b) Argued very vociferously at last two AFDs for keep, removed my vote at AfD, and seem to have just inadvertently admitted to COI at least at this AFD. What I think is happening here is a combination of socks and meatpuppets. Jesse Waugh has a nice interview with Thomas Darnell on his site. Both are pages created by The Master, who called Darnell a friend at the above AfD. I know this sounds like kooky conspiracy theories, but it does seem to connect and the Waugh promotionalism has been going on for five years. 104.163.147.121 (talk) 03:02, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
