Suspected sockpuppets
SPA created during a hiatus by suspected sockpuppeteer to defend notability of an article they created. Both accounts objecting to deletion of David Louton; this one deleted an AfD notice. Both accounts also active at Edgar M. Louton  RetroCosmos  talk 03:53, 9 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Standford refers to themselves as “we” — perhaps they are separate and have off-wiki contact?regardless, both accounts interested in adding promotional content to David Louton  RetroCosmos  talk 04:15, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

 * ( original case name)

Same focus as the sockmaster and User:StandfordFoster, editing Edgar M. Louton and David Louton, his son, whose article was just deleted. They both removed the AFD tag from the article. Account created just a few days ago after previous sockpuppet was blocked. Liz Read! Talk! 23:37, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * By the way, it looks like there was another sockmaster interested in articles about this family a few years ago, User:Dean Louton. Of course, all of those accounts are stale at this point. I wonder if it is the same person though or just different fans of Edgar M. Louton who try to fix up his article. Liz Read! Talk! 23:54, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
