Both accounts seem to have similar editing patterns and tend to revolve around a certain range of articles. I posted links to the edit histories for your reference.

One account just nominated an AfD about an article here; to give context, both accounts have levied complaints of a similar nature and tone about the article which have been AfD'd in another discussion here, which is what triggered my curiosity as to whether both accounts are in fact accessed by the same user.

Sorry if this looks messy. It's the first time I've ever lodged a sockpuppet investigation query. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need more info. Haleth (talk) 13:41, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

On closer look, through categories both user pages label themselves as enthusiasts of the same media franchises and identify themselves as British, created two months within each other, and it looks like both accounts have engaged in edit wars or repeated unconstructive edits in at least one article of mutual interest.

 * ✅. There is significant behavioral overlap, particularly surrounding interest in article categorization (e.g. ). Combined with the AfD and the technical overlap, I think there is sufficient evidence here to block for sockpuppetry. —both accounts indefinitely pending an explanation of their connection to each other—closing.
