Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

I feel the WP:DUCK is obvious but requesting checkuser just in case. Bpt5yda has a total of 42 edits as of this filing, 11 of which have been to the pages Rokt and Bruce Buchanan (businessman) (an article they also created). Yadfjhbs has a total of 4 edits as an obvious SPA account.
 * I tagged Bruce Buchanan and Rokt for notability on the 12th of October.
 * On the 13th, Bpt5yda removed the notability template For Bruce Buchanan under the edit summary "added additional citations, image from Wikimedia Commons" (nothing about the tag removal).
 * The same day, user Yadfhbs removed the COI tag from Rokt.
 * Why I feel they are connected is on the same day, they both created blank userpages which is not typical of newbies.
 * Note that Yadfjhbs has also previously edited Jetsar, the company where Bruce Buchanan was previously CEO.
 * I left a request on the talk page of Bpt5yda but have not yet received a response as of this filing. CNMall41 (talk) 03:12, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * These two are ✅ to one another, and to, who has declared themselves on their talkpage to be an employee of Rokt, and who therefore knows that they should not be editing any of these articles. Will rename this case accordingly, block, tag and revert.   Girth Summit  (blether)  15:51, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
