A bit of a tangled web here.


 * User EricKamlus created Steve Taplin in May, and it was speedy deleted as having no sign of importance/significance. In late July they created Clinic Dermatech, speedily deleted as spam. This was the second creation of Clinic Dermatech.


 * User Stevehtaplin created Steve Taplin a little later in May, and it was deleted in early June after a discussion in AfD.


 * User Jakepedler created Clinic Dermatech in mid-July and it was speedy deleted, a few days before EricKamlus' creation of the page.


 * User Jarlmoe has created a few different BLPs, including Edward De Valle which is currently tagged as BLPPROD; an earlier version of the page, Edward De Valle II, was deleted a few times.


 * User Edwarddevalle has no contributions visible to me, but from his talk page it's apparent that he created Steve taplin which was deleted after another AfD and then speedy deleted a couple of times as A7 and G4 respectively.


 * User Hasitvibhakar, finally, has created Jarl Moe, Jarl moe, Steve taplin, and Clinic dermatech.

There is also an IP, 122.173.233.218, which has edited Jarl moe and Edward De Valle.

The connections seem pretty clear to me from the combinations of coinciding user names and article creations, but sometimes these drawers contain many more socks than are visible to the naked eye so I suggest a CU. bonadea contributions talk 12:25, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

While I was composing the above, Hasitvibhakar was indefinitely blocked for disruptive editing. --bonadea contributions talk 12:25, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

 * It is impossible to say whether it's one master or not. Most accounts made just one promotional page each (different pages), so there is no obvious connection. I'm leaving this without tags, as I think block log is enough to pint to this investigation.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:03, 14 August 2016 (UTC)  Vanjagenije   (talk)  10:03, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
