Spam article on urwiki

Hey there. I noticed you were in the antispam contacts list, so I wanted to reach out. I recently completed an investigation into a massive cross-wiki spam operation, in which a network of accounts and IP proxies published hundreds of articles about David Woodard; this affected the Urdu Wikipedia, with a single-purpose account قرۃ العين (talk · contribs · CA) publishing an Urdu article on Woodard, presumably using a machine translation. The global stewards have already deleted more than 200 articles from the smaller Wikipedias, and other individual projects have deleted or started deletion discussions on their own Woodard articles. I wanted to let you know about this, in case you think it will be necessary to initiate deletion proceedings against the article on Urdu Wikipedia. --Grnrchst (talk) 22:10, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
