As I said a week ago, "If you happen to be using other accounts to try and influence any decisions on the Ice Age Wiki, you should stop right now. You would be doing yourself more harm than good."

The result is that even if you did have a valid point, it got drowned out by the actions of the other accounts. Kirkburn, one of the Fandom employees, has recommended the the demotion proposal be closed due to "ongoing concerns about sockpuppets and an odd influx of brand new accounts throwing their hat into the ring".

The revision history of that page shows that nine people have participated in the discussion. Three are new accounts that just happened to come to the wiki right at the time a major vote was taking place and all just happened to vote in support of removing Nerfmaster8 as an administrator. Regardless of whether or not what they stated as the reason of the vote has any validity, it skewed the vote to the point where the recommendation by Fandom staff to shut it down became necessary.

At this point, I am putting the research on hold that I was going to do. The dust needs to settle before a clear picture can be seen and that will help show whether Nerfmaster8's recent actions are in line with past behavior or whether it was in response to an attempt to oust him as a result of someone being blocked.
