- Evidence
User:BKCinfo appeared after User:Finaldrive was blocked, and the only edits made were to the article that User:Finaldrive created and which he was blocked for creating.
- Comments
First time on Wikipedia. I'm on the Final Drive band mailing list and they sent out a message about helping them get on Wikipedia. So, figured I try out the editing process with this band since most bands on wikipedia already have all their info and there's not much more to contribute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BKCinfo (talk • contribs)

- On further review, I don't really think these users are the same person. The times, and the dates, are off as well, as the nature of the edits made. Also, I am concerned with that page being deleted under WP:CSD#G5, "Creation by a banned editor", which, may not be appropriate, as User:Finaldrive is blocked, not banned.

- Yeah, that's not a G5. Maybe a G4 for recreating deleted content, but (and this is really starting to annoy me) I can't see deleted revisions. It's possible, based on the revisions I can see, that these users are two different people. What needs to happen is that Finaldrive should be unblocked and should be allowed the chance to comment in a deletion review. I'll post to ANI to get the ball rolling on that.

- Actually, by his own admission, it's meatputtery ("I'm on the Final Drive band mailing list and they sent out a message about helping them get on Wikipedia.") Harry the Dog WOOF 12:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
If it's just meatpuppetry, then our problem is solved. Since the article under dispute is deleted, these users have no contribs since May 27. No further action is neede. Yechiel (Shalom) 23:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
