Please see the two user talk pages for the details, but to summarize... Both created Discorser about a non-notable company, User:Jxmie0 shortly after the first version by User:Discorser was deleted. Jxmie0 claimed they just happened upon it and recreated it independently after seeing it deleted, but it had only been in existence for 6 minutes. They claim they're not connected with each other, and Jxmie0 says they contacted Discorser after the event by email - but Jxmie0 does not appear to have email enabled did not appear to have email enabled at the time, so I don't know how that was done. They both wrote their versions of the article in the same style as just one paragraph without any formatting, essentially the same material presented in a different order, and they both seem to be online and appealing their blocks at the same time, using similar hystrionics (and see their two contribution histories - it's a very interesting time overlap). It's clear that they were at least colluding to create the article, but I think a Checkuser check to see if they are technical socks rather than just meats would be helpful here, especially as both are looking to be unblocked.
