Evidence

• Basis for the evidence begins here, an apparent fan site by someone named "G-man".
• G-man80 creates an account on 05-Jan. According to Kate, three edits have been deleted. One of the first seems to be creation of G-Man's Reviews, CSD:A7 notice by User:Mr._Vernon 02:48, 4 Jan 09 here.
• G-man80's first undeleted edit (as I write) is to
  Sly Cooper (series)
  , and several more are to various Sly... articles.
• G-man80 goes on to make a series of edits mostly to
  Fog Warning (film), then to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fog Warning (film)
  .
• G-man80 is warned multiple times on their talk page for spam links, unconstructive/vandal edits, and finally for COI. G-man80 ceases editing 22:35 11Jan09.
• User:Slycooper100 edits beginning 02:17 13Jan09, Kate says 2 deleted edits.
• Slycooper100 has a talk page notice for CSD of (oh my gosh) G-Man's Reviews - presumably the deleted edits.
• Slycooper100 has three undeleted edits, all to
  Fog Warning (film)
  , all concerning the blog G-Man's Reviews cited at top. A further link warning was given to Sly.

Fairly close interconnections here between edits, timing, article names, and user names (and warnings). Behaviour alone does it, no need for a CU, unless to catch the next one... Franamax (talk) 08:08, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

• The mentioned edits by Slycooper100 to
  Fog Warning (film) diff were identical diff to those of G-man, not merely similar. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply
