Suspected sockpuppets

Cannady212 complains about Articles_for_deletion/Lexi_Lawson_(2nd_nomination) not being closed as a keep a couple of days ago. He then complains again today. Then suddenly, a brand new user DiscussionCloser1 shows up and attempts to close the debate as a keep. I find extremely unlikely that a brand new user would know about AFD and that their very first edit would be to close one. JDDJS (talk) 22:13, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

 * is very odd. It seems like there may be two people editing on the same computer who have forgotten to log out and sign in under the correct account. Ibadibam (talk) 23:03, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
 * To me, it looks like the editor forgot that she was logged into her sockpuppet account and not main account and was quickly trying to cover her tracks. Originally, she writes the comment as if she was the editor, and then edits it to make it sound like she's talking on behalf of the other editor. JDDJS (talk) 23:08, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Could be, or it could be that the wrong account was active and the editor wrote in her voice, then realized it was in the other person's account and covered tracks by writing in that person's voice instead of correcting the signature. Which is impersonation. Either way, not great. Ibadibam (talk) 23:15, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

 * All three accounts blocked. I removed the "awaitingadmin" template, I hope that's appropriate. --Yamla (talk) 02:41, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Reblocked as a sockpuppet account. --Yamla (talk) 14:10, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * It's not compromised, as they claimed, but there's not much point in in changing the block again. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:13, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
