Not a case of socking. The original account was blocked for having a promotional name. Creating a new account with an acceptable name is what they were asked to do, and what they presumable did. Any promotional editing, COI, or 3RR concerns are separate issues for the user's talk page and various boards (if necessary), but not SPI. Meters (talk) 07:59, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm, a bit more complicated. User:MICHAELA Philippines created User:Michaela2005 which has been blocked for promotional edits, but wasn't mentioned in the SPI. So Ralphmeyerangtan is a case of socking. Note that the user admits in an edit summary to being a part of the company MICHAELA Meters (talk) 08:13, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Can you give us a more detailed justification for why you want Checkuser action? CU is not automatic in an SPI, and unless more is required over and above behavioural comparisons (the WP:DUCK test), we prefer not to do a CU so as to avoid fishing expeditions.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:07, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
