Joe Parkinson created the article Cattle and Crops. I nominated the article for deletion: Articles for deletion/Cattle and Crops. I think that Hjc01 might be a sockpuppet of Joe Parkinson, that is being used to cast additional votes in the AfD discussion. If it would help prove sockpuppet abuse, I would like CheckUser to run a check on the users. The1337gamer (talk) 09:13, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hjc01 is a single-purpose account that was created on the same day as the AfD nomination was opened (log) and after Joe Parkinson made their comments on the AfD (history).
 * According to the public log and contribution history, Hjc01's account was created at 18:58, 15 April 2017, and their first edit was 6 minutes later on the AfD discussion at 19:04, 15 April 2017. It's seems quite unlikely that within 6 minutes, a brand new user would find their way to an AfD discussion for an article that has < 300 pageviews in total and be able to make an argument for keeping the article with the correct formatting and signing their edit correctly (diff).
 * Hjc01's only 2 edits are on the AfD discussion (contributions).
 * This diff by Hjc01 has an identical edit summary to this diff by Joe Parkinson: Added my view to the discussion.
 * Joe Parkinson and Hjc01 both make similar, poorly reasoned arguments for keeping the article either in the AfD discussion or on my talk page (diff).
