The two accounts, besides having similar names that suggest that they are the same person, are continually creating articles about D'Agostino Supermarkets and related topics, some of which have to be deleted via WP:CSD, and others being deleted due to copyright infringement. Also, both usernames have the suffix "dag" at the end, possibly signifying that both users are connected to the subject of both articles that are being continually recreated. The deletion log for D'Agostino Supermarkets shows that this is becoming disruptive, as the article has recently been created for the fourth time.

I'm not sure if this sockpuppet evidence is enough to warrant blocks, since the disruption has not been large scale as of yet, but the articles continually being recreated is just contributing to the backlog of unreviewed articles for new pages patrollers. smileguy91 Need to talk? 22:07, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Same two articles of interest (and related photos posted to Commons); same disregard for copyright (which I've been rewriting to remedy); similar username; undoubtedly the same WP:DUCK with the same single-purpose obsession. This inactive username does not warrant a new case. I'm just adding relevant info for the record, in the event it's needed again. Thanks. —Patrug (talk) 20:00, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
