Both users, with very similar usernames, have created articles at Antonio Clay which were later deleted (Antonic43 has tried creating the page a second time here: ). I can't provide diffs to the deleted pages since I am not an admin, but deletion notices are on both talk pages: User_talk:Antoniclay43 and User talk:Antonic43.

 * "Checkuser comment': The IP for Antoniclay43 is, so no check can be done.  Please consider that the usernames are so similar that it is difficult not to associate the two accounts (which is acceptable under WP:SOCK.  Also consider that both accounts have made very few edits, and none of them at the same time.  Consider the possibility that the editor lost the password for the first account and, since he does not have email enabled, has no way to reclaim the account; the natural action would be to create a new account.  It would probably be best to contact the new account and explain very nicely (as you might to your sister's really nice friend whom you want to impress) why the article doesn't meet notability standards yet, and the community's concerns about people creating articles on subjects where they have a close personal interest (WP:COI).  There's no need to be blocking anything here, just extending a friendly, educational hand to a new user unfamiliar with Wikipedia standards.  Risker (talk) 04:11, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't see an abuse of multiple accounts here, but there very likely the same person so this can be archived. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 14:08, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Antonioclay43 tried creating an autobiographical article Antonio Clay through AFC in 2013, which was denied. Antonic43, which is a user name that Antonio Clay has used on other message boards, then recreated the article several times including twice in April 2013 and again last month (the article was deleted on August 6th), all of which were deleted. A few weeks later on August 30th, the Insidetheifl account was created and immediately recreated the Antonio Clay article. Ahecht ( TALK PAGE ) 15:05, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
