See similarities in usernames. The master was from Arnold Langbo, and Obgnalwrd recreated the article in violation of the block. Given how blatant the sockpuppetry was, I decided to AGF and notified them of our policy. They stopped editing, and I added a COI template. However, an IP has persisted in removing the template (a, b), which means I cannot continue turning a blind eye to this. Sdrqaz (talk) 11:40, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Obgnalwrd is, per filer, an obvious sock, based on both username and edits. See Special:PermaLink/1069214701 vs. Special:AbuseLog/31604184. The IP is probably a sock of the same, but I'm uncomfortable ruling that conclusively. I think the best course of action is:
 * Indef Obgnalwrd with autoblock disabled as a "keep them honest" block. Whether to block a sock that stops editing after a warning is discretionary, and the probable loutsocking tips me toward yes.
 * Delete under G5, as it was created "in violation of a ... block", even if that wasn't a sitewide one.
 * I will give Obgnallliw uw-sock as an only warning.
 *  for the above. Thanks. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 22:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
