Suspected sockpuppets

I believe this is sock and/or meat puppetry. The interaction analyzer joins all three editors together by their edits of arcane pages over the past eight years (JOSBRU says their old account is User:Joseane, which created several of the Tondino articles). Booboo the dog and JOSBRU both showed up to support Tristan Tondino at that AfD. All three have an interest in supporting or editing Tondino family articles, based on contribs. Joseane also has a user space article called User:Joseane/Tondino's Paradox. BB the dog and JOSBRU have now both showed up at the AFD for Paul Kastel, passing out insults and arguments for keep (Booboo's !vote and JSBRU's !vote, which includes an empty outing threat). I don;t know if that is enough for a checkuser, but in my experience it is rare for two old accounts, with very similar editing interests, to suddenly show up to support old non-notable articles.

 * I share the suspicions here. I was just putting together a report at ANI over JOSBRU's threats but I'll leave that now that this is being handled here. It is better to crush the entire nest of vipers than pick them off one by one, if indeed it is a nest. That said, even if the accounts are not found to be linked, then blocking is still required given the awful behaviour. I'd also suggest deleting and salting the article titles that they are so keen to promote in order to make sure that they don't just sneak back and try again. --DanielRigal (talk) 15:20, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I am pretty sure that what we have here is just one person, or maybe two people, working on a "vanity support project".ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:22, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
