Comprehensive edits analysis
Yaysmay15 is a disruptive user who frequently bloats recent history and timeline articles, especially those related to the Philippines with non-notable events. Commonly targeted articles are those of about years in the Philippines ("XXXX in the Philippines" articles), but has also targeted decade and century pages.
The user started disruptive editing on Philippine history-related articles as "Vince daryl falcunitin" before June 2016, and as Yaysmay15 from June 2016. Most of the user's edits mostly restoring previously removed non-notable events or additions of newer ones, resulting to the Tambayan Philippines community to include criteria for events to be inserted to Philippine history articles by year, starting with 2015 in the Philippines through its talk page. After being blocked for edit warring with Hariboneagle927, Yaysmay15 started to use sockpuppets and do IP hopping to re-add events that he added on articles he targeted, then removed by other users.

After other editors remove the events Yaysmay15 reverts them, eventually violating the edit warring policy.

- User or its sockpuppets create articles for several non-notable events, mostly sensationalized events, like Death of Emilyn Villanueva (PRODed, them speedied) and 2017 Quezon City road rage incident (AFDed). All articles are deleted as sensationalism and block/ban violations.
- After the pages Yaysmay15 or its sockpuppets are unprotected, they re-add events that a previously deleted prior or during the protection.
