These two accounts are both editing and creating articles related to Savage High and Manny Velazquez. There are some older accounts associated with these articles, specifically Halloween1981 and Gingerdeadman2011. Both of those are stale so I didn't include them, although I will mention them. I'm not sure if this is a case of socking or meating, to be honest. Other than the article for Robert Cruz, there's no other article still live. (Article has since been A7'd.)

The basic gist is that these films and people are very obscure, and by all accounts this seems to be movies made by a couple of friends in their spare time. It's unlikely that completely random people would create these articles. Goldfinger98 created the Savage High article, but Killerfoo came on to Wikipedia shortly after the article was AfD'd and made a flurry of edits, then removed the AfD tag.

 * Were you able to find any behaviour evidence in their deleted contributions that would suggest they're the same person? I had a quick glance and I agree the article is fairly obscure but I wonder if it's meat puppetry. Mkdw talk 20:51, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Not really - their only edits have been to the same articles, all of which are about the same people. Killerfoo edited Manny Velazquez, which had been earlier created by Halloween1981 and Gingerdeadman2011. He was the only editor of Robert Cruz, who has only ever been in things created by Velazquez, including Savage High. Killerfoo also heavily edited Savage High, which had been created by Goldfinger98, which seems to be this editor's only edits. All of their edits stopped after Killerfoo started editing and creating articles. I also note that Killerfoo removed the AfD tags from the Savage High article, which shows that they may be familiar with speedy deletion templates, as those can only be removed by another editor. It's likely that they're at least somewhat familiar with editing as a whole, given that they tried to add a protection template to Cruz's article here. Most new editors aren't even aware that page protection is a thing. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:05, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
