Blocked user Kingcutie under new sockpuppet HDClear
It appears that user Kingcutie is once again vandalizing his brother's wikipedia page under sockpuppet HDClear, for which he was previously banned by you.
It's not entirely clear to me how to proceed with bringing attention to this.

Hello
Follow up on User_talk:Bbb23/Archive_61#Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/UniBrill/Archive and User_talk:Bbb23/Archive_61#New_Simon_Ekpa-org. You feel like admin-deleting Prime Minister of Biafra and Who is the Prime Minister of Biafra?. I've been agf-ing that this user is maybe not a sock, but it's harder now. Possibly related: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Democratic Republic of the Yoruba. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:02, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ha! I'd been watching this user a while ago trying to decide if they were a sock, but at that time, they'd only edited Simon Ekpa a little and nothing that I found smoking gun-like, so I let it alone and stopped watching them ("watching" users on Wikipedia is a pain in the butt, something I've complained about for years). Anyway, they are now blocked and tagged, and all their creations deleted per G5 - thanks! --Bbb23 (talk) 13:10, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. FYI, Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection/Increase#Simon_Ekpa. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:18, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'll let another admin evaluate the protection request.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:19, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've never started a SPI, but I'm considering doing so on this editor [1]. Any wisdom? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:14, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- If you wish to allege that Fugabus is part of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/UniBrill, it's been done once before, in October 2023, and the CU found the account to be unrelated. A lot of time has passed since then, and it's possible that the technical data now might reveal something useful that wasn't apparent last year. If you do go ahead, you should note the history in the case and that you are still filing because of the behavioral similarities, which you would of course have to list with diffs.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:35, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, didn't know about the previous one. Seems less worth the effort then. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:10, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- We're having an energetic discussion at Talk:Simon_Ekpa#Calling_Ekpa_Prime_Minister_in_wiki-voice, you might enjoy watching. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Deleted Band Page Blazzaj
Hello, how come this page has been deleted (Blazzaj)? This is a known band form Romania with more than 25 years of experience, 3 albums and numerous concerts. They still actively perform. Thanks PET (talk) 20:46, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- The article had no credible claim of significance (see WP:A7).--Bbb23 (talk) 22:43, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
You are completely right, I should not have told the IP to add a source on a disambiguation page. That seems to be my go-to move when I find unverified content in articles, but you are correct that those types of pages are exceptions regarding WP:V. Sorry about that, and thank you for taking action here. JeffSpaceman (talk) 20:58, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
We were both involved when a now blocked editor tried multiple times to "attack" this article. I've allowed the dust to settle on that, and taken a view on the article, sending it for discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wrightspeed X1 just now. I'm alerting you because you may have a view on the article and its fate. Whatever that view is will be welcome. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:46, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I saw this cleanup. Given the existence of List of Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance candidates for the 2024 Indian general election, is the draft acting as a sock catcher? If not, happy to redirect it there? A sock had done so, and I reverted, but beginning to think they were right. Star Mississippi 02:59, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
