Firstly, the name of the sock and the master are indicative of a relationship by themselves, but they have both posted about a non-notable person in Leamington, Ontario. There haven't been many edits from this person so far, but s/he pretty clearly doesn't know the rules. Pls see especially this one and this one: compared to, particularly this edit.

I have very high confidence these are the same person. However, the account activity does not overlap, the accounts didn't seem to play a role in an edit war, etc, so I can't flat out consider it abuse. Closing &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 01:56, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm overriding 's decision. I've indeffed and tagged the puppet and blocked the master for two weeks. All of the behavior has been abusive. Both accounts created and recreated an article about a person who easily qualified for A7. One administrator deleted the article per G3. Both accounts vandalized Canadian pages inserting this same person in those pages (and were, of course, reverted). Because of my actions, I'll leave this to another clerk to archive.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:45, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
