Apart from some minor edits to existing articles ChickenYummy's first-ever attempt to actually create a new Wikipedia article was 2017 Ottawa Storm, about a minor and non-notable thunderstorm with purely run-of-the-mill effects and a couple of local sources to minimally demonstrate that it happened, but neither the content nor the wider range of "more than just local" sourcing to demonstrate any reason why it would have the enduring notability needed to justify an encyclopedia article about it. Ottawahitech, meanwhile, was indeffed for exactly that sort of editing style — they would regularly create articles about any random thing (mostly, but not exclusively, in Ottawa) that they could single-source as existing, without even attempting to add enough content or sourcing to demonstrate why an encyclopedia article was necessary at all. And furthermore, there's this: Ottawahitech got blocked on February 1, 2017...and the ChickenYummy username was registered the very next day. Bearcat (talk) 23:17, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm closing with no action. The fact that the user created one poorly-sourced article about a non-notable event in Ottawa is not strong enough evidence. Sro23 (talk) 19:29, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The fact that a user, newly registered less than 24 hours after a prior one was blocked, did something that so precisely replicates exactly the thing the blocked user got blocked for? I absolutely reject the suggestion that that's not enough evidence to warrant checking. Bearcat (talk) 22:37, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
