Suspected sockpuppets

New editor User:Promoter1000 joined the project yesterday with a series of somewhat promotional but generally benign edits. Today however I came across Danny Lampo, a new article created by another new editor User:Dadakd via their first ever edit. A new page patroller flagged the article (justly in my opinion) for A7, after which Promoter1000 attempted multiple times  to remove the tags. This editing is suspicious as the article was only 10 mins old at the time of Promoter's edits, and few other articles link to it. Also noteworthy for this SPI is the fact that the article creator's account returned to editing the page only a few minutes after Promoter was warned about removing speedy deletion tags. The best evidence however is at User talk:Promoter1000, where the suspected sockmaster has a notice about their article Danny lampo being tagged for speedy deletion on 25 April. A sock connection seems clear to me, but meatpuppetry cannot be ruled out. SamHolt6 (talk) 19:18, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

 * I was getting ready to file this myself as it's distinctly familiar and I know there is another master (from past SPIs) but I'm totally blanking. It reminds me a bit of DKRJ but the edit summaries are very distinct. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  19:34, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

 * - Promoter1000 and Dadakd are already CU-blocked, and I presume would have tagged them if there were any technical connection to another case. This also looks like DKRJ to me given the geographic interest, but CU has proven problematic in that case, and I'm not going to merge on the basis of a hunch. I've blocked LanceLampo as a promotional account. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:42, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
