A deletion discussion is in progress at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AjoChhand Machine. The consensus is Delete, except for the author. A new account, with only one other edit, then shows up and presents the same arguments as the author. Diffs by the sock are:

I noticed that that RunNroll showed up right after MasaComp was told that he was repeating himself too much. In this particular diff RunNroll seems to modify and add to a comment from MasaComp [1]. Chillum 18:04, 9 July 2014 (UTC) reply

RunNroll [2] shows some stylistic commonality with MasaComp [3] in the use of bolding in replies to other editors. This could be mere copying but in conjunction with the circumstantial evidence I think sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry is likely. Spinning Spark 00:39, 10 July 2014 (UTC) reply

User:Spinningspark I am hurt with this allegation, already an editor Chillum contacted me and I have clarified and asked, to find through your own software source to get his machine ID, the origin of this person. However, this way of analysis is wrong concern. Let me explain. If meatpuppetry and sockpuppetry allegation comes, then every single person commented therein, searching in google "AjoChhand" occurance, commented in the same style, check their writing, shall we assume that all those people are meatpuppetry or sockpuppetry of certain individual who wants to delete this article at any cost? Is Wikipedia is so designed that any arbitrary francy user randomly comes shows intellectuality and disappears, this cannot happen, when one person supports a move is looked very suspiciously. Why? Where RunNroll has disappeard? Why not he is coming? I need his support, isnt it? I have already given my statement, I have no other account and I will never engage into such activity of falsely bringing support, I declared it officially in WfD page. I can take on all those who are opposing intellectually, if there is honesty, my article will stand. Those who believe in knowledge, never try other routes. Even if you reject my article, I will put forth my explanations and arguments in such a way that when it will be archived people would understand "what a nice generic article was that". Fractal machine is a beautiful concept, I just love this topic, Wikipedia had no article on this, so I wanted to make one for the general reader and wanted to make it scientific unlike many articles here, but, I really never knew, this would be the case. I have said, note my name and my machine ID. I am just for science, nothing else, please. By the way, I have commented on your Nature Physics comment, please read that, honestly, you will learn something new, everyone will of course.-- MasaComp ( talk) 00:12, 11 July 2014 (UTC) reply

• RunNroll is technically  Unlikely to be MasaComp, though meatpuppetry remains a possibility.-- Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 18:45, 10 July 2014 (UTC) reply
