 * There isn't enough evidence here to confirm socking - indeed, since there is no temporal overlap between the two accounts, and the original account hasn't edited since the new one was created, it wouldn't be a violation of WP:BADSOCK even if they were operated by the same person (since policy allows article authors to remove PROD tags). I'd suggest sending the article to AfD if you don't think the subject is notable; if there is disruption at the discussion there we can take another look. Closing without action for the time being.
