 * Suspected sockpuppets

Only edits by Bottlepop123 were to create articles based on a hoax band, Dying Love. He claimed this band had singles on the PJK Charts, a nonexistent chart whose article was speedied back in January. The only substantive edits to the PJK Charts article were by Burn123456789 and Pauly123456789we--neither of whom have edited since January. Bottlepop123 only appeared today (March 7). What are the chances of a new account knowing about a chart that was previously speedied? Almost nil in my mind. Blueboy96 03:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Evidence above is well reasoned. The usernames Bottlepop123, Burn123456789, and Pauly123456789we are so similar that coincidence is reasonably unlikely. PJK Charts sounds like something that was manufactured from someone's initials and I cant find references to this anywhere other than the previously speedily deleted article.  As Blueboy96 notes, few editors would even know of this hoax "chart".  Taken all together, the likelyhood of this being anything but a sockpuppet are extremely slim.--Rtphokie (talk) 13:01, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Evidence quite clear from the deleted contributions; blocked all three. Arguably I could have left the two other accounts but felt they could be restarted if not dealt with. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 00:02, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
