Usernames are more or less identical, userpages appear to be identical and used for self-promotion (master, sock). Master account have tried to create articles about himself several times and have not responded to talkpage messages despite being blocked once for 48 hours. Suspected sock has been indef blocked and notified, master account have also been notified but not blocked for now as I'd like to give the user another chance to actually contribute to the project.

Persistent recreation of inappropriate User page, identical to pages created by the two prior accounts; commonality in naming. NB too, this account was created after prior sock was blocked. JohnInDC (talk) 01:46, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

This latest puppet has the same name and contributes the same autobiographical content, in the form of a WP:FAKEARTICLE user page, as the prior socks. An open-and-shut case. JohnInDC (talk) 18:58, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

This recently created account seeks to create the same self-promotional article, Jamal Lasri, as the indef blocked puppetmaster and all prior socks, and has extensively edited one of the surviving versions in the sandbox of another earlier, blocked sock.

Username match, and behavioral match of editorial focus on this same-named individual. Tagged and blocked, reporting for archive. DMacks (talk) 05:15, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

WHOIS for the IP, who edited the same article as the named account, is consistent with being the subject of the edits. Not blocking because it's long ago, but possibly useful evidence. DMacks (talk) 05:20, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Santiagovicenteluis (stale) and Santiago Luis Lafuente (new SPA) appear the same as each other by username and edit focus, and also MEAT relationship to sock-drawer's articles of interest. Jaume Kirillov (new SPA) username is linguistically related to the subject as well. Requesting CU for technical matching and to see if there is any lower-level blocking possible to shut the drawer for a while. DMacks (talk) 04:50, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * ...which will also help us figure out what to do with Lasri condensation (AFD with this as evidence and to help prevent !vote socking, or maybe even CSD#G5). DMacks (talk) 14:39, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

 * The first two accounts are almost certainly the same user, but this is a case of simply creating two accounts two years apart, and not a violation. Based on the names and private information, these are meatpuppets rather than sockpuppets. Though since this is all part of an effort to promote Lasri's work, could be considered a policy violation by a reasonable administrator. Someguy1221 (talk) 22:58, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * based on ISP and geolocation, but the UAs are just a little different. Too much collateral for range blocks. Blocks will have to be based on behavior, as I'm uncomfortable blocking on the technical evidence. Katietalk 12:17, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * These accounts haven't edited recently so it's likely not worth the effort of looking for a behavioural connection. If any of the accounts start editing again another SPI can be filed. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:45, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
