Spam article that needs to be nuked per WP:TNT. The three main editors are WP:SPAs: Cookeods (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), Matahari1983 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and RicZapBar (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The last is a name match for the subject, who has been blocked once for sockpuppetry with Isalabcor (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (sole edit, again, to this article) and self-promotion, and none of the others have any history other than promoting this subject in articles.

I userfied the article as an obvious autobiography, but it was moved back.

It is possible that a non-spam article could be written on this person, but this is not it, and we should not be encouraging blatant self-promotion and abuse of multiple accounts. Guy (Help!) 12:28, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
