- Evidence
This is a two month on-going, recurring problem of one or more editors dodging deletions and blocks by using user pages to host a website in Wikipedia about the fictional gangster gangs "The Rascal Mob" and " T-Rex Entourage" as a way of expanding the website Dino Renzo and Co. Note how Dino Renzo and Co includes a link to Wikipedia. This same person/group also appears to be involved in posting articles on non existent or nonnotable musical label/group efforts.
The article Dean "Big D" Woodward was speedy deleted between May 17, 2007 and May 22, 2007.. The article FFB Recordings was deleted five times between May 17, 2007 and June 21, 2007. The article Nott's City Stand Up was speedy deleted may 18, 2007. The article Dean Harry Woodward was speedy deleted four times on May 22, 2007. The article Big Dean was speedy deleted May 25, 2007. The article Forest Fields Boy was speedy deleted May 25, 2007. The article Return of the Don was speedy deleted May 25, 2007. The article Forest Fieldz Boyz was speedy deleted June 2, 2007. The article Dino Renzo was speedy deleted June 8, 2007 and June 14, 2007.[9]. Per Special:Undelete, Rascals and 81.159.121.52 were involved in this article. The article Rascal Mob Recordings was speedy deleted June 14, 2007 and June 15, 2007. The article Dean 'Big Dean' Woodward was speedy deleted June 15, 2007. The article Rascal Mob was deleted June 20, 2007.[12] Per Special:Undelete, Rascals, 81.159.121.52, and Rascals Mob Recordings were involved in this article.
On June 24, 2007, it was noted at AN that similar pages were being created as user pages.[13] On August 28, 2007, it was noted at UAA that similar pages were being created as user pages.[14] The above noted users are listed at UAA as being involved in this fictional gang effort. In addition to attempting to avoid detection by using user space rather than article space, these editors are branching out to name variations to avoid watches over deleted pages. For example, the user page User: Dino Antonio Renzo was created after several deletes of User:Dino Renzo. Here is a list of pages that may be created in furtherance of this effort by Dino Renzo: Alberto Renzo, Damon Dales, David Chapman, Deanna Jones, Denzil Smith, Dino Renzo, Franklin Coles, Fredo Caan, Jacob Street, James Thornton, Lee Quoins, Leon Atkins, Mark Alexander, Roberto Renzo, Ryan Buzz, Simone Wentworth, The Rascal Mob, T-Rex Entourage, User:Alberto Renzo, User:Damon Dales, User:David Chapman, User:Deanna Jones, User:Denzil Smith, User:Dino Renzo, User:Franklin Coles, User:Fredo Caan, User:Jacob Street, User:James Thornton, User:Lee Quoins, User:Leon Atkins, User:Mark Alexander, User:Roberto Renzo, User:Ryan Buzz, User:Simone Wentworth, User:The Rascal Mob, User:T-Rex Entourage. Rather than continue to delete the created user pages and temporarily block Dino Renzo, I propose that each page be tagged as being operated by a puppetmaster to prevent recreation of these user pages. A checkuser may be warranted as well. Also, salt where needed.

- Conclusions
- All the named accounts are indef blocked, except for User:Rascalpatrol, which seems unrelated (and hasn't edited since Jan 2007 anyway). The IPs are portable, so it's not worth blocking at this point. --Akhilleus (talk) 22:28, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
