Evidence

Edit history for all three users shows they have only made edits in relation to Alternative Alternatives, which is currently at AFD. All three have made "keep" arguments at that page, using very similar writing styles. "Endangeredspecies" has (as of this writing) made only one edit, at the AfD. I'm not sure how serious this is, but I thought it worth reporting.

I think this might go back further, MatthiasKnab (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)'s early version of Alternative Alternatives see here [1] shows startling similarities to the rejected proposed page at Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/2008-07-22#Alternative_Alternatives by Special:Contributions/Opalesque. I'm also somewhat intrigued by the naming of the last account, having been involved from early stages in this deletion discussion -- I'm named for the Cape hunting dog which is quite obvious from close perusal of my contribs. That animal is co-incidentally an 'endangered species'. -Hunting dog (talk) 21:27, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

also please note that the Opalesque link is the main thing that Special:Contributions/Endangeredspecies is keen to preserve, see [2] - Hunting dog (talk) 21:33, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. I'm adding Opalesque (talk · contribs) to the suspect list, and notifying same on user talk. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 02:16, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Talk about obvious SPAs and vote stacking. Indef'd all. — Rlevse • Talk • 16:01, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
