Possible sockpuppetry. The suspected sockmaster (User:Arjanhalili) joined the project in November, but all of their major contributions have been centered around Draft:Dejzi, which they submitted to WP:AFC for review. The draft was declined, and Arjanhalili ceased editing after being asked about having a potential conflict of interest. Recently, a new editor (User:Voojima) joined the project, making a series of edits to Dejzi and editing no other articles. They also moved the draft into the mainspace (this has since been reverted), thus bypassing WP:AFC. This is a red flag, as it is incredibly unlikely for a new editor to stumble onto a draft with no history of being in the mainspace. May be a WP:DUCK case, but requesting checkuser to verify.

 * Looks like a pretty open-and-shut case to me, but just wanted to add that it sure looks to me like Voojima gamed autoconfirmed - created an account, waited almost exactly four days, made 12 edits, then moved Dejzi to article space. creffett (talk) 21:59, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

 * A technical link between the accounts is, which is unsurprising as it looks like typical WP:UPE. I've blocked indefinitely as the most blatant UPE account of the two, moved the Dejzi article back to draft space and edit-confirmed protected Dejzi to prevent other accounts from moving the declined draft back into main space. --  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:20, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
