Suspected sockpuppets

Both users are single-purpose accounts used for the intention of creating a Wikipedia article for Aleen Nichol Johnson, an article with significant notability issues. Both users have initially utilized the Draft wikispace before moving the page to the article space, and have performed no edits outside of the article or its talk page.

Previously, created an article under the name Aleen N. Johnson. I nominated the article for deletion, and the consensus was to delete; the article was subsequently deleted on 30 June 2020. The Aleen Nichol Johnson article's first edit, performed by was on 8 July, merely eight days later; the page was moved to the mainspace on 14 July. Many of the citations in the latter article are tabloids or lad magazines, and it may possibly not fit notability standards. Of note is that when the first article was deleted, it also had eight citations, up from four when the AfD process started. Perhaps they are the same exact citations? And both articles have an extremely similar format and formula, too.

To conclude, I believe there is too much parallel behavior between both the users and both the articles. Because of this, I believe it may be a warranted exercise to pursue a CheckUser measure for both accounts if that is deemed necessary. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 08:04, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Pretty confident they're the same person (the deleted article and new article are substantially similar, including some odd capitalization shared between the two). However, this is not sockpuppetry, since there is no overlap in edit times (this could be explained by, for example, a forgotten password). I am going to drop a uw-agf-sock on both and G4 the draft.
