 * Suspected sockpuppets

The article Nelson Montana has been recently re-added after going through a AfD process a few months ago. The user's edit history shows that this is their only edit and soon after a user with the name of Nelson Montana came on and started to edit the page extensively. I couldn't help but think that both accounts are sockpuppets for the same person since neither accounts have edited any page other than Nelson Montana. I also noted that as soon as the Nelson Montana user showed up, Samantha Marshall stopped editing. I do note that there is a Huffington Post blogger by the same name, who Montana happens to work with and know. I couldn't tell if she added it for him or if he used her name to post. It's suspicious, so I'm mentioning it here. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:26, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Meatpuppetry would be a fair explanation. WilliamH (talk) 07:22, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I don't think there's quite enough to block here. Also, since this case has opened, both accounts have gone quiet. Closing for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 16:54, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
