It's a general suspicion arising from the fact that all of these single-purpose accounts seem to be heavily involved with up-for-deletion Randall Bell article. The first three "sock candidates" plus the alleged sock master created the article (as evident from the page history), the latter two just recently showed up during the still ongoing recently closed AfD. bender235 (talk) 17:47, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Bcar92, Aprais411, & Mictach all showed up for the purpose of trying to influence the AfD, two as new accounts, one returning to editing after an absence of well over six years. This looks as though it may be sockpuppetry or (perhaps more likely) meatpuppetry. However, since none of those accounts has edited since 26 September, there is no point in taking any action.
