Suspected sockpuppets

Both editors joined Wikipedia today and have been working overlappingly on biographies of Darien Joseph, both removing deletion templates. User:Letterboxtv was indef blocked an hour ago for promotional editing and a promotional username (they said they were "speaking on behalf of" Joseph's management company, Letterbox TV), but Markjeeditor denies any relation to the subject and is continuing to edit.

Markje's first two edits to Wikipedia were to reply directly to Letterboxtv's speedy deletion appeal announcing that "Notice for deletion has been cleared. Thank you for using Wiki!" and to remove the AfD template from the article.

Markje has recently requested that the already-deleted Darien Joseph (Personality) article be "fully deleted" as "I no longer need this page to be available" (possibly embarrassed at the three-times-speedy-deletion log still being visible?) - this was an article title created by Letterboxtv and which Markjeeditor had never edited. Markjeeditor has also recently "found" a letterboxtv.com source which he or she thinks we should use as a source on the article. McGeddon (talk) 11:06, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

 * In light of Talk:Darien Joseph I wonder if we are dealing with a group of people associated with the subject editing its biography, rather than sockpuppets. I also note that Letterboxtv has appealed their block, requesting the same edit as Markjeeditor has on my and Ritchie333's usertalkpage.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:34, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * However; they also removed the sockpuppetry notices from their talk-pages within four minutes of each other:, . Muffled Pocketed  11:49, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * They may well be two people talking across a shared desk somewhere, but per WP:COWORKER, "Closely connected users may be considered a single user for Wikipedia's purposes if they edit with the same objectives." --McGeddon (talk) 11:52, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
