Suspected sockpuppets
GEOGIA is an old account who created after 5 years of the account's inactivity. This is a cut and paste move from where the draft was declined recently. Seems suspicious and GEOGIA's user page indicates their nationality. 0x Deadbeef  (T C) 11:50, 22 May 2022 (UTC)


 * More evidence of socking: Vexillologer added user requested speedy delete template to the draft page, GEOGIA, in response to AfD notification, also said that the draft should be speedily deleted . I removed the speedy template because it had more revisions than the article in mainspace and they should be merged. 0x Deadbeef  (T C) 02:27, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I've dug into this and found GEOGIA was a SPA mainly interested in beauty pageant articles back in 2017. If possible this should be checked against Sockpuppet investigations/Sasha Boudville. 0x Deadbeef  (T C) 02:42, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Vexillologer is not hiding the fact that they are the same person at all; They even have the same userboxes. 0x Deadbeef   (T C) 07:58, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm trying to parse whether this is SOCK, MEAT, or shared COI; CU would be helpful to that end. . I note that neither account has edited in about a month, but GEOGIA has been around for a decade, so there's no reason to think this absence will be permanent. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 04:26, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I've run a check, and these two accounts are ✅ to one another. They are switching between the accounts quite often, it's clear they still have access to both of them; I don't see any other accounts on their IPs. I haven't looked at behaviour here, I'll let you determine what needs doing.   Girth Summit  (blether)  12:55, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't see clear intent to deceive here, and it's now been a month since either edited. Left both uw-agf-sock. If they return to using both without explaining themselves, some sort of sanctions are likely in order; if either account attempts to create the article again, they should be p-blocked from it, per the deleted edit summary by Vexillologer here. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 16:44, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
