My first time submitting an SPI, so bear with me. IngridAndrews submitted a "Keep" vote in an AfD twice from the same account, which I initially thought was an accident until another Keep vote from yet another SPA(ish) account came through. The article (authored by Ingrid) has shown strong indications of COI, such as a Trademark symbol, a promotional style of writing and apparent access to analyst reports not accessible to regular volunteers (not a bad thing if they are represented fairly). Additionally, both accounts refer to an OTHERSTUFF argument: "This article has the same structure as many other company pages"-Ingrid and "I see many other company pages that are far less neutral and edifying."-Ltkpat CorporateM (Talk) 02:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Closing case as it appears more likely to be meatpuppetry than sockpuppetry. Note that this does not preclude the possibility of blocks for promotional editing. Mark Arsten (talk) 19:57, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
