WP:SIMNAME: Usernames are a common female name followed by a numerical sequence, both consisting of the numbers 8 and 9 in a repetitive and/or consecutive sequence. Jasmine1989 created the page Handybook, and when created, the page had a CSD template at the top, which suggests that the creator either copy edited from another similar page which just happened to have the CSD template, had an old, now deleted page saved (suggested by the comment here) and created the page from it. The next revision removed the template. After several edits to the page, a CSD template was added by User:Ulemzii, the author of the comment on User talk:Jasmine1989. On the next revision, the CSD template was removed by Nancy899, which was the account's first edit, and immediately after the creation of the account (12:46 pm). This in a way fits WP:OHNO. Since the first removal of the template, the user has made several other edits only at Handybook, as did Jasmine1989, including repeated removal of the CSD templates after their restoration, which prompted several warnings to be given, and a report to WP:AIV. Based on the above evidence, I conclude that these two accounts are sock puppets under the possible premises of WP:OHNO, WP:SIMNAME, WP:PEH, WP:XS, WP:AGAIN, and WP:IDART.

 * ✅, blocked and tagged: Nancy899, Jasmine1989 and Weina67. CU-wise there are a few more accounts there, but can't block without behavioral evidence. Materialscientist (talk) 04:44, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Last June, I encountered suspicious editing on Handybook. After further investigation, I filed an SPI against one of the page's main editors, User:Jasmine1989, and it resulted in that account and User:Weina67 and User:Nancy899 being blocked for sock puppetry. Today, I came across Handy (company), and saw that its content was similar to that of Handybook, and even references that name as a former name of the company. As to how I know that the accounts belong to one person, the account name not only contains a name/word followed by a number (in this case, Jasmine/Notch1989), but both seem to have an interest in continuing to make articles about this company, even after it has been repeatedly deleted. Also, the editing behavior of User:Nancy899, User:Weina67, User:Jasmine1989, and User:Notch1989 are nearly identical in the sense that they only work on Handybook (or, as seen here, Handy (company)) Assuming that this investigation is successful, the behavior of Notch1989 will be in violation of WP:CSD. I won't yet apply the current article for CSD based on that criteria, since it is not yet official that Notch1989 is a blocked or banned user. Relevant diff (I cannot put more than this due to the fact of Handybook being a deleted article): • Creation of Handy by Notch1989 BenYes? 18:16, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Administrative comment: Although the sockmaster would be Weina67, the original investigation began here, and was never moved to Weina67, so I just decided to put any additional socks here. BenYes? 18:23, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

 * I have checked the editing history of the accounts, including deleted edits. The editor might as well have been shouting through a megaphone "this is a block-evading sockpuppet". Account blocked and tagged, article deleted. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:10, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
