Suspected sockpuppets
Two newly-registered users who exist solely to tag-team on a sandbox page at User:Ronald1019/sandbox. CGM91 is almost certainly the subject of that page ("Carlos José García Mora (born 1991)"), and although they weren't the creator of it they've made numerous followup edits to it — but since user sandbox pages aren't indexed by Google, they would have had no way of knowing that the page was even there at all unless Ronald1019 was either a sockpuppet or a paid PR flack. Also of note that both editors are persistent in readding the page to categories; the page has had to be edited five times by me, and two times by RscprinterBot, to remove or disable the categories on WP:USERNOCAT grounds, but then keeps getting readded to categories again regardless of whether the categories were removed or disabled (and continuing to recur after Ronald was advised by me that sandbox pages can't be in categories), which further reinforces that the page was most likely intended as a self-promotional WP:AUTOBIO. It also warrants mention that even though the page was created by Ronald1019 in their sandbox, CGM91 is actually the older of the two accounts, suggesting that the chain of events here most likely went "CGM creates account intending to start article about self, finds out about AUTOBIO rule, creates or solicits Ronald1019 to create the article CGM91 had intended to create".
