User:Exaarapking attempted to promote himself on his user page (twice) in June, went to sleep for 5 months, and now is back as Ronaldsardick, which is the real name of the artist Exaa Rapking that he is trying to promote, again with promotional material on his user page and asking around to try to see how to get it done. —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 22:57, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, they created their promotional User:Exaarapking page again in August, and it remained until today, when it was again CSD'd. A couple hours later, the Ronaldsardick account was created, and proceeded to promote, disrupt, etc. —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 23:15, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

 * So what do we do with them? AIV? ANI? They're clearly WP:NOTHERE and both are doing other disruptive things like these in the last few hours: Special:Diff/925374182, Special:Diff/925378796, Special:Diff/925404102. —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 00:03, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, if not the same person, one or the other is also impersonating, since one is the stage name and one is the real name, no? —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 00:08, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Contribs of Ronaldsardick since the above include re-creation of a bad, unreferenced article under Draft:Ronald Sardick now, more vandalism at Corel WordPerfect Lightning to add their blog and name, fishing for a paid editor at an unrelated Daughtry song talk page, inserting uncited ref to self at another artist's article. Enough yet? —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 03:13, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Added another sock below, but one other comment - Draft:Ronald Sardick suggests that that's the real name of this Ezaa Rapking (or Trapking? unclear) person. Whether this is sockpuppetry, meatpuppetry, or something else, the fact that three accounts started promoting the same person under names related to that person is pretty suspicious in my book. creffett (talk) 04:09, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

 * I think unlikely to be a sock. The versions of the page created by the two users are very different.   Any or all of MEAT, UPE, COI, sure, but my sock-o-meter isn't registering.  All the various pages have already been deleted, so I'm just going to close this with no action.  If more activity happens, we can re-evaluate later.  -- RoySmith (talk) 23:45, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
 * My advice is to be patient and give them a little WP:ROPE. If they continue to make edits that aren't useful, we'll have a stronger case to block them for vandalism or whatever.  They may even provide stronger evidence of socking.  I've bookmarked both of them; I'll check in on them again tomorrow to see what's happening.  -- RoySmith (talk) 00:25, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Created Exaa Trapking, a vanity page which shares a name with the sockmaster. Talk page comments also suggest a promotional intent. creffett (talk) 04:07, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
