Per WP:DUCK. Edson Markho was blocked as a Username violation and was a COI account that created articles about a musician named Edson and his songs, including Pay Phone (Edson Song). Within three minutes after being blocked, account David Brown Smith is created and immediately goes about trying to explain why Pay Phone (Edson Song) should not be deleted.

 * User:Edson Markho is soft blocked. They are allowed and generally encouraged to create a new account (alternatively they could request a rename or prove they are the person to be unblocked). Therefore they have not violated the sockpuppetry policy. If the accounts are controlled by the same person, its probably a good idea for them to disclose this. However, this is not necessary.
