Suspected sockpuppets

I came across these two because they have both been involved with attempts to promote Kash Hovey on Wikipedia by creating articles for him and some of his films on Wikipedia. There was also an attempt to add his name to other articles and Kashmoney17 tried creating articles for Jack and Cocaine and Undateable John.

Here's a rough timeline of everything:

Kashmoney17 created the first article for Hovey on 7 December 2016. It was AfD'd and deleted at 11:07, 15 December. About six hours later, at 17:09, 15 December 2016, the account for Rayallen2017 was created and their first action was to recreate the article for Hovey. It isn't identical, but it has the same promotional tone as the first article. The article is also somewhat similar in how it was written in that there's an emphasis on several non-notable elements, such as being in a commercial made by a notable person and so on. There's the same amount of name dropping in each. Something else that gives off the impression that the two accounts are linked somewhat is that both accounts make the same mistakes with article names, in that they include disambiguations when they link to articles, like Rebound (2005 film).

Their arguments for inclusion are also fairly similar at Talk:Kash Hovey, as can be seen with what Kashmoney17 wrote and what Rayallen2017 posted. My thought is that if this isn't the same person, then it's most certainly a case of two people editing in tandem. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  10:49, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
