Suspected sockpuppets
On February 12 2022 the suspected sock creates an article titled Poco Lee  (Now moved to the userspace of the suspected master sock, since it already exists as a draft)  See; (User:Reading Beans/Poco Lee). It was correctly moved back to Draftspace by. Note that the suspected sock manually moved the article back to mainspace, see here this piece of information would prove helpful if technical data is unable to detect any foul play. I would expatiate on more behavioral pattern(s) below.

Yesterday the suspected master sock creates directly to mainspace the aforementioned article, see here, precisely in the same manner the suspected sock behaves, What is extremely connecting both accounts is that the suspected master sock almost copy pasted material from their suspect other account. Please juxtapose this by and this by the suspected sock, do you note the eerie similarity?

Furthermore and more interesting is that both accounts edit in similar topics areas; which is the Nigerian entertainment scene, specifically for non notable Nigerian musicians.

I believe this to be sock puppetry or at least meat puppetry. It is my humble and honest belief that the duck test would prove helpful in this investigation.

Please for more specific behavioral overlaps look at the article Portable (singer) (now moved to Draft:Portable (singer)). Celestina007 (talk) 19:31, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - I can see the difference between these two users, but I also see why Celestina007 believes there is some kind of connection. User:Reading Beans appears to know what s/he is doing, and has previously praised User:Celestina007's work. User:Brosof6's recent attempt to create the Poco Lee article, on the other hand, is decidedly amateur. The puzzling thing, to me, is why Reading Beans moved a poorly-written stub, originally created by the banned user User:Krystalgreat, to article space, knowing it had not passed (and was unlikely to pass) review. I don't see any need for further action at this point. Deb (talk) 10:01, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

 * . I am not convinced there is sufficient evidence of sockpuppetry here to justify a check. The suspected master has been editing since July 2021 and has almost 4000 edits, whereas the suspected sock joined last month and has only 134 edits. The version of the Poco Lee article that Reading Beans created is substantially different from the one that Brosof6 created . It seems to me that the behavioral similarities could be adequately explained by two different people with similar interests, rather than the same person operating sockpuppets.
