Evidence submitted by Diego Grez
I strongly suspect User:Samsantiago is the same as User:Yamariel, per their editing at Christina M. Santiago, an article that reads as pure advertisement.  Diego Grez  what's up? 01:02, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

I see your concern. It looks to me like the edits are very similar (nearly exact, if not exact). Not quite a duck in my humble opinion, but I would say having a checkuser look in to this would be nice. --ANowlin: talk 01:14, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
I'm fairly convinced these are not the same person, based on editing style. However, the timing is much more than curious, so it is likely that the accounts are somehow related. However, checkuser is not going to help with this problem, or even be able to detect it. -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 01:17, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * My guess is this... Yamariel outed himself as Yeshiyah Amariel (revealed here), and created an article about himself (at AfD now). Samsantiago's user page used to be a promotional blurb about a real person named Sam Santiago. I think that these are two different people who created accounts reflecting their real names. There are coincidences, but I agree with Shirik that the editing style is different (I also see Samsantiago fixing a bunch of typos from Yamariel, as if his copyediting skills are better). Since all of Samsantiago's edits over the past 4 years have been deleted as promotional, I don't see that this editor is here to be productive, and I'm blocking them as a promotional-only account. --  At am a  頭 17:17, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Samsantiago blocked as a promotional account (not sockpuppet), requesting review for close. --  At am a  頭 00:45, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
