 * Suspected sockpuppets

Only contributions from either user are in Olivier Bassil, a very spamy reading article promoting the creator of a social networking website. Shortly after tagging for deletion, User:Obassil removed the speedy deletion tag, replacing it with a hangon tag, perhaps a common new user mistake. However the timing and edit histories (or lack of) make me suspect these are sock puppets and promotional ones at that. RadioFan (talk) 14:15, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Evidence submitted by RadioFan (talk)
 * User:Obassil's comments on Talk:Olivier Bassil and the timing of edits continues to be very suspicious. It appears that this editor is switching between these 2 accounts.--RadioFan (talk) 14:31, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * User:Obassil has also removed speedy deletion tags from Olivier Bassil. Note: other editors nominated Olivier Bassil for speedy deletion (which has been completed)  --RadioFan (talk) 16:40, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
