Same date of birth: Special:AbuseLog/14059151,, same name. Can a duck quack any louder? Normally for a 5 year old stale sock I wouldn't care about (WP:Standard Offer/WP:Fresh start, neither of which he's complying with), but he's now 5 years older and he seems to be WP:NOTHERE, editing to promote his own company. Recommendation: Quick-close this SPI as WP:DUCK, block for a month or less for NOTHERE (I'm being optimistic, I wouldn't object to a 6-month "standard offer" block), let him know he has been recognized (but maybe for privacy reasons say the old account names are available to him on request), and topic-ban him from creating drafts or edit requests for anything he has a COI in until he's established himself (extended-confirmed at a minimum), also require him to disclose any non-abandoned or future alternate accounts either publicly or privately (via OTRS?) for the same duration. Make complying with the spirit of WP:COI mandatory/"as if it were a policy" for him indefinitely (strictly speaking, it's a guideline, not a policy). This will give him a chance to show he's "here to build an encyclopedia," while also offering him WP:ROPE if he's "not." davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  17:38, 27 November 2020 (UTC)


 * OK, indef'd the account as spam/promotional, so this can probably be quick-closed, with or without associating the new account with the old ones.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  20:32, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Tagging as I see a link. Already blocked, so no need to consider the options presented about giving the user some rope. I do consider them useful, but perhaps these can be used in any unblock request the user makes. Close. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 00:21, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
