Suspected sockpuppets
There are two reasons that I think a Checkuser comparison is in order. The first is the focus on Thulo Pokhari, which was created by the first account, and deleted as spam. The first account then created a very incomplete stub in draft space, and then was blocked. The second account then created another incomplete stub which says that it is under construction. I proposed to delete that stub. The second account has now asked me on my talk page to move the PROD'd article to draft space so they can work on it. This seems to be a shared obsession. The second reason is the editing pattern. The second account edited sporadically until 11 February, when the first account was blocked, and has began editing actively. If they are not sockpuppets, then they are both being paid by the same employer. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:23, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
