I'll add that even with the CU declined, there is ample behavioral evidence here to block as a sock (focus on Marcus Stanley and early edits to AfD). agt x 15:00, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm reopening this because given the CU results below, I think these are all socks of Sockpuppet investigations/Musiclovereveryday. Seanhaley's edit pattern is too similar to Musiclover's for coincidence. agt x 00:40, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Blocked, tagged, closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:46, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You provided only a small amount of evidence at Sockpuppet investigations/Musiclovereveryday. Despite the technical findings, you're going to have to provide more behavioral evidence here about all of the accounts. I don't want to keep either this case or the other open too long given that regardless of who the master is, the accounts are blocked, so I'd like to handle this expeditiously.--Bbb23 (talk) 11:49, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure. The users each edit articles on non-notable musicians. Particular tells are edits to Marcus Stanley (have a look at User talk:Musiclovereveryday and User talk:Seanhaley1) and accounts with extremely early edits to AfD. Looking at, , , and we see the same AfD pattern. We also see custom colorful signatures—unusual for a brand new editor   agt x  21:08, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
 * That wasn't quite what I wanted (rereading it, my request was not as clear as it could have been), but it helps, thanks. I've also gone back and looked at the CU logs for Musiclovereveryday, and that clearly supports the contention that this case should be merged with Sockpuppet investigations/Musiclovereveryday. I've changed the status back to checked. please take care of the merger and the appropriate tagging, which should probably include two tags, one about CU confirmation and one about each account being a suspected or proven (your choice) sock of the master. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:16, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

 * The recreated article is a very close match. The behavioral overlap from previous socks in the archive is also fairly compelling. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:55, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

 * - The evidence above, paired with their recreation of Onewayhope (previously as OneWayHope), makes this pretty clear cut. Please block the new sock indefinitely. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:16, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
