Suspected sockpuppets

Narrowly purposed accounts (not quite SPAs), created after Simone de Gale was nominated for deletion, and mainly focused on editing that article and its AfD. What makes me think these are sockpuppets is this and this. Car4tea1 also edited as User:Car4tea but that was clearly declared and there has been no deceptive editing (most likely they forgot their password and created another account.) There's very likely some COI however - in addition to the timing of the creation of the accounts, that kind of confrontational tone from a brand-new account in an AfD against people who argue in favour of deleting an article tends to mean that there is a conflict of interest. Note also that the article was originally created by an account that was blocked for promotional editing. Since this is a bit circumstantial, a CU would be helpful. bonadea contributions talk 16:24, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

 * but pinging : you blocked the Car4tea accounts (I've added some) yesterday. Seems to me you'd have already linked this account if there was a technical connection. Behaviourally I find the connection tenuous. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:05, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * JudgePure is . The account is using the identical range of IPs as the three confirmed accounts, which is a very busy range.  The user agent, though, is different.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:17, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I consider this inconclusive w/r/t JudgePure, so no action taken. Will move to the master's name for the record. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:32, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
