User:Hotrodsurf
Suspected Sockpuppets
Reasoning
All of the above users, have voted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hot Rod Surf to keep the article(s) Hot Rod Surf and HOT ROD SURF. All, with the exception of Bham Greaser have signed their comments, not using 4 tildes, but instead, by signing with parenthesis, their unlinked user name, manually inputting the date and time and then closing the parenthesies. Example: (Jmcrownpoint 2:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC). It can be shown that they are manually inputting the date and time as it does not match with the recorded time in the edit history.
Additionally, User:Hotrodjohn and User:Bham Greaser have made their first, and so far only edits to that article for deletion.
The IP User:72.130.148.120 added a comment to the AfD and signed it (manually) as User:Jmcrownpoint. And then another, also signing as User:Jmcrownpoint. This IP has also added other comments in support of the articles.
User:Hotrodsurf has the earliest creation date of them all, and created the article HOT ROD SURF. User:Jmcrownpoint, created an account a day later and then created Hot Rod Surf.
At the very least, it appears User:Jmcrownpoint is attempting to shore support by making comments both as a registered user and as an IP in violation of Wikipedia policy.
