User Nathaniel43284 created FitzRoy Media here. A speedy delete tag was added. It was removed by Nathaniel43284 for which they received a warning. Instead of removing it a second time, it was then removed by anon IP 24.251.40.238 with no explanation and that edit was followed 2 minutes later by an edit to the article itself by Nathaniel43284. Looking over the editing history of the account and the anon IP there are other article overlaps and sequential time period editing. For instance, Nathaniel43284 created the article House of Cool here and is the only editor who has edited it. But a link to it was added shortly thereafter by 24.251.40.238 here:. There is editing time overlap evidence as well. For instance, on June 7th, Nathaniel43284 made the first edit at 1:14, and then had an editing break until 4:05. But the anon IP 24.251.40.238 was active from 2:24 until 3:37. Similar timing patterns exist in the editing history going back in time. So to summarize, it appears that when this editor account was warned for removing speedy delete tags from an article they created, they opted to logout and remove the tag using an anon IP - thus acting as a sock for the purpose of keeping a speedy deletion tag off of an article.
