Suspected sockpuppets
Master has had push back with two of their creations nominated for deletion where they vote! keep, here and here. The newly created puppet comes along and provides an additional keep vote! here and here. Despite having only 5 edits, the puppet also makes two edits such as here to an article that the master has previously edited significantly as at here. Coincidences are always possible but this stretches believability beyond any sense of reason. The wide range of subject matter for the master also gives concerns about paid editing.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * ✅, leaving open for an admin or clerk to decide on sanctions. On a side note, BobVillars edits without logging in frequently. I'm not convinced they're doing it maliciously but it's not a great idea for various reasons. Spicy (talk) 22:23, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Blocking and tagging Pasparfait. For the master, I'm extending some leniency and only blocking for two weeks due to the votestacking. The Wordsmith Talk to me 01:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
