 * ✅ While there is no time overlap, the less than an hour difference and deleted contribs tell me more is going on. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 18:56, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Between the CU findings and the overlap in deleted contribs, pretty clear they're related. There is no time overlap, but given that ArinaVardanyan posted a malformed paid tag to their userpage, tried to remove it, and then created this new account, this appears to be sockpuppetry for the purpose of evading scrutiny. Both, I have opted to indef both due to the promotional and undisclosed paid editing issues. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:14, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Note: Name-change from Lucine Ayn to requested at Changing Username at 00:50, 6 January 2021 (UTC)).  I think HeroAmerica is a reincarnation of either Lucine Ayn or ArinaVardanyan or both.  If it's not both, then I think  ArinaVardanyan is a meatpuppet or paid-editor-client of the company described at .  I think Lucine Ayn may be the founder of that store as listed in the existing draft (if not, her name is a violation of the username policy due to confusion, which explains the name-change request).  See the visible and deleted edits and filter logs from that page,, , and , , as well as any other contributions by the 3 editors related to this topic that I can't see.  There may be other editors I can't see that contributed to these 3 pages or other now-deleted pages on the same topic. If this were Vegas, I would be betting on either outright paid editing or 1 or 2 editors editing on behalf of this business, with or without compensation. I'm not sure whether to request a sleeper check or not since this is only the 3rd account and only the first trip through SPI and all 3 accounts have clean block logs. BEST CASE is that this is one person who doesn't realize that this behavior is very much WP:NOTHERE (see DGG's "only-warning" to Lucine Ayn here). davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  19:00, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

I see you just closed Sockpuppet investigations/ArinaVardanyan which, if confirmed to Lucine Ayn, is related. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  20:42, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

 * - please check against ArinaVardanyan so that I can figure out disposition of this case (whether the two I blocked already are sockpuppets or meatpuppets). Based on davidwr's note about the original username being suspiciously similar to HAY-HAY's founder, I'm quite confident that AL aa 02 is connected somehow to the other two, it's just a question of how. If CU comes back as related, then I'll handle merging the cases. GeneralNotability (talk) 17:27, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Nothing further to do. The SandDoctor  Talk 04:42, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Merged from Sockpuppet investigations/AL aa 02, which is unrelated. The SandDoctor  Talk 04:47, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
