I came across these two accounts reviewing recent AfC nominations. It appears that the same draft (and userspace) ‎article was created word for word, with merely the title changed, both within short order of one another. The original userspace creation vs the first draft vs the newest. It is also worth noting that these were the sole creations of the respective accounts. These two accounts appear linked per WP:DUCK and to have had pre-prepared articles/not "new". The SandDoctor Talk 04:43, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

細谷 = Hosoya, 武司 = Takeshi. Eastern naming order = surname first. Timmyshin (talk) 20:04, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

 * ✅. The second draft was created two days after the first was declined. The article was created earlier in June at the Japanese wiki and may be seen here.
 * Given the choice of usernames and where they were registered, I'm guessing the intent was to use 細谷武司 at jawiki and Takeshi Hosoya here, either because they didn't realize that their login transfers between wikis or because they wanted a name in Latin characters for use in English. This is a permitted use, and they behaviour does not warrant a block in and of itself. Closing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:52, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
