Appears puppet was created to create Summer Rose from draft created by editor Placey33. The draft was rejected for AfC earlier in the year and was identical to the article created in mainspace. Puppet is also suspected as COI as they have access to what appears to be a professional image of article subject. red dogsix (talk) 11:04, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

 * - Could I get an admin to compare the deleted history of Draft:Summer Rose to User:JNationwide/sandbox? There's a few specific questions I'd like answered. Is there any language in the sandbox version that appears to be copied near-verbatim from the draft? Does any version of the draft have all caps section headings? Is there any version of the draft that is completely devoid of formatting (similar to this? Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:14, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have undeleted Draft:Summer Rose for your review, including the history. Please let me know when your review is done. Note that both User:Placey33 and User:JNationwide have edited the draft at different times, though it's not obvious to me that their versions are the same.

 * What happened here is that JNationwide wrote their version of the article on Summer Rose in their own sandbox, then copied that text to the draft namespace, replacing Placey's version, before finally copying it to the mainspace. Rose is close enough to being notable that it doesn't seem completely implausible for their to be more than one person trying write article about her. The two versions are different enough that I'm going to chalk this up to coincidence. Could you please re-delete the draft? Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:28, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Since your review is finished, I've deleted Draft:Summer Rose again. EdJohnston (talk) 01:06, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
