WiniBot356 and FidelityTree were both created on the same date, but did not edit until late October 2012 and November 2012  respectively. However, both of their first edits were to the same article and both have edited similar topics. Verireal was created the same date as the AfD for Jethro Rothe-Kushel was opened, and all three accounts have contributed to the discussion in favour. Verireal has only edited the article and its deletion page, and appears remarkably well-versed in policy for a new user. L Faraone  04:10, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Technically, WiniBot356 is the master, but given that we have an open and shut case along with the fact that FidelityTree has more edits and is only newer by one hour, I'm going to treat continue treating that as the master. Master blocked 1 week, socks indeffed, closing. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 17:46, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
