Michelle McManus discography

)

Contested PROD. Prod concern: This article is unreferenced, the numbers are suspect, the original version contained information about a seeminly-non-existant album, and most importantly, there is no reason any content that can be referenced can't be added to Michelle McManus. This is an unnecessary split-off that appears to be just for the purpose of spreading content over additional aritcles. Prod2 text: In addition to the above, it is highly likely that this article was created by a sock puppet of an indefinitely blocked editor, User:Nimbley6. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:51, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominators recommendation: Redirect with or without edit history to Michelle McManus and lock or delete and salt, and lock to prevent re-creation by disruptive editor. Salt or lock should be for at least 30 days but not more than a year. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:54, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominators observation 2 1/2 days in: Consensus seems to be to redirect and protect, which implies keeping the edit history. No objections here. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 19:36, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note The creator of this article is blocked until 22:02 26 January 2009. This AFD should not be speedy-closed until a day after this editor's block expires to give him a chance to respond. However, should the allegations of sockpuppetry of a banned editor prove true, the article may qualify for speedy deletion. davidwr/([[User_talk:davidwr|talk (contribs)/(e-mail) 05:00, 23 January 2009 (UTC) indefinitely blocked. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 23:36, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Note The article that this content belongs in is semi-protected. The creation of this article was the editor's second edit. This suggests that had the editor been able to edit Michelle McManus, he might have done so rather than create a new article. Perhaps when the editor's block expires he can elaborate on this. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 05:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect. This information was already in the article for the singer prior to its creation. Non-neccesary duplication. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:00, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and protect - if McManus warrents a seperate discography page it can be requested and made. This sockpuppeteer is relentless and refuses to engage with the community (I've tried). A redirect will stop this being remade. --Jza84 | Talk 12:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- For the benefit of others, it should also be said that this puppetmaster is a child. --Jza84 | Talk 15:46, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, claims to be a child - its been caught out fibbing once or twice now. That said, age is the only
