 * you've requested CU here, and I agree that the usernames make it obvious that it's the same person, but these accounts are softblocked for username issues, which invites them to create a new account - why do you want a check running? Unless I'm missing something, I'd suggest we just assume it's the same person, draw their attention to our COI guidelines, and keep an eye on the article they're interested in.

 * That's fair. What about sleepers or others? - UtherSRG (talk) 15:49, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Policy requires that I use the tool only to identify and prevent disruption. If they have been soft-blocked and invited to create an account, then the creation of other accounts would not be (in and of itself) indicate disruption. If you can articulate a suspicion that there is disruption afoot then I can consider it, but at the moment all I see is a couple of soft-blocked accounts, an invitation to their owner to create a new one, and a request that I run CU to see whether they've done so - that's not something I'm permitted to do.
