Zanirali created a draft for Michelle Beckley at User:Zanirali/sandbox which was then created with the same content by JanaSanchezTX.
The same kind of coordination with EmmadelaFuenteFW and RuthieNewJersey at Draft:Wendy Sachs. MarioGom (talk) 01:22, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

[edit]- This case is being reviewed by Blablubbs as part of the clerk training process. Please allow him to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on his talk page or on this page if more appropriate.Based on overlap alone ([1]), I'm fairly confident that all of these accounts are related in some way – edit summaries and other patterns imply that we're probably dealing with more than one human operator though, so CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk please compare these accounts to each other and look for sleepers (and potentially older masters); I think we might be looking at a known farm here.

- This case is being reviewed by Blablubbs as part of the clerk training process. Please allow him to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on his talk page or on this page if more appropriate.Thanks Oshwah; given the very substantial similarities between Zanirali's sandbox and JanaSanchez' initial version of Michelle Beckley, I'm convinced they're part of this group. Looking at the history of Draft:Wendy Sachs, I'm pretty certain that RuthieNewJersey is also related to this group in some way (my guess is a different COI editor working to promote the same person), but there isn't enough here to prove it. Awaiting administrative action – please block all confirmed accounts, plus Zanirali. Thanks and best, Blablubbs|talk 22:26, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
