Account created 4 days after another sock of the master was indef'd. Within minutes he went to the deletion discussion which the master (and various IP socks) are fighting to keep and he voted keep. But not only keep he put two incorrectly formatted SPA tags to my comment and comment of. Both of of us we earlier tagged his now blocked sock accounts. I asked him politely whether he is sock and he replied with even more suspicious answer. I hope he can reply here too and possibilly explain how he know SPA and tagged us both with ~10K contribs, the other editor is registered for 11 years. Checkuser is needed (if endorsed) due to the span of the account creation and their similar habit on the above linked AfD and the article itself &thinsp;&mdash; Ammarpad (talk) 13:01, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Another suspicious action is this Special:Diff/811080173. The user opened up two deletion reviews just after creating their account. In the AfD of the first one Articles for deletion/Zara Durrani two accounts were blocked for sockpuppetry, this investigation is at Sockpuppet investigations/Joaquinito01. The other article was deleted years back in 2007. In these Special:Diff/811084301, Special:Diff/811084451 they mention RfC and ANI, which is not likely to be known to the newest editors.

 * I did edit from Canadian-based IPs around 2005-2008 and 2012-2014, so there you have it, I'm a former IP. As for Zara Durrani... well, she's big on our forum, we pushed to get the article. I'm a former IP turned editor. --American Canadian Expat In London 10404 (talk) 13:15, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

 * As they're also at 4RR, don't be surprised if there are EW blocks too. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:21, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Created Draft:Chantelle Lee, which from memory heavily resembles the deleted Chantelle Lee. The username is also identical to the blocked sock. -- Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 16:50, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I meant similar not identical but my point still stands. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:07, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Hmm.. Even with good faith this is clear WP:DUCK. The names not only for resemble but they are similar just transposing "Lee" which also happen to be the last name of their article. Difference of suffixing numbers concluded everything, that's show socks behave. –Ammarpad (talk) 17:00, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
