Suspected sockpuppets

A sudden influx of newly registered users non-neutrally editing and promoting Reggie Middleton and drawing similar accusations of self-promotion and COI that follow the original creation of the BLP article 8 years ago. Disruptive editing regarding the individual from the suspected socked spilled over to related articles such as Decentralized finance, which was subsequently protected. More notably, within the AfD discussion for Reggie Middleton, numerous lengthy and similarly argued opinions arose from the suspected socks. The majority of the accounts are seemingly single-purpose, editing only in relation to the individual named Reggie Middleton and his interests. H iddenL emon //  talk  07:42, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

user:Reggie Middleton is stale and impossible to tell the account is the person himself or just doppelganger. Other accounts seems new or active again recently such as at Articles for deletion/Reggie Middleton, which can be sock or meat. Matthew hk (talk) 08:47, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair point, this is the first sockpuppet investigation I've initiated so I wasn't sure exactly how to present it. Is there a better forum or method to report the group of suspected sockpuppets without a known master sockpuppeteer? Thanks -- H iddenL emon  //  talk  09:32, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
