Suspected sockpuppets

All of the evidence in this case revolves around the page Tom Holdman. Sockmaster was hard-blocked for promotional username and edits. A couple weeks later, Rojochampion is created and starts displaying WP:OWN tendencies toward the article, created the now-deleted Holdman Studios, and eventually indicated that they are the subject's secretary. After COI warnings, they stopped editing, and then Rojo12 popped up and made an unsourced promotional edit extremely similar to one that the Holdman Studios account made earlier. I'm including CHAMP102 because they seem connected - their only edit was a dummy edit to Holden Studios shortly after I reverted Rojochampion, and their username is similar to the other socks - "champ" as in "champion," and "102" is similar to the "12" in Rojo12.

There are two other possibly-connected accounts which I didn't list as sockpuppets but am noting here for completeness:
 * made a number of promotional edits to the page, but they haven't edited in several months, so it's probably too stale to do anything.
 * The page's creator wrote the page with a very promotional tone and is probable COI, but I don't believe that they're directly connected to this user. creffpublic  a creffett franchise (talk to the boss) 13:45, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
