Suspected sockpuppets
The master created Annie Hurdy Gurdy, which is now at Articles for deletion/Annie Hurdy Gurdy. The sock created an account on June 24; their first edit was to create a userpage in which they said they said they were an American writer/journalist/editor. They claimed that they had an account before but it was "deleted" after their computer was "hacked". I asked them on their Talk page the name of the previous account, and they did not respond. Two minutes after the creation of their userpage, they made two edits to the AfD in which they fixed the master's signature. Two days later on June 26, they voted Keep. The master's userpage says that they are a young American writer. Finally, both accounts are registered (no edits) at de.wiki. The master, in their Keep vote, noted that Annie Hurdy Gurdy has an article at de.wiki.

I'm requesting CU because the sock has so few edits. Bbb23 (talk) 22:51, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Because of the deceit, the vote-stacking, and the SPA-like behavior (meaning this person is not an asset to the encyclopedia, I have indefinitely blocked the master and tagged everyone. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 20:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
