Both users has created fictional future election articles in userspace (User:Sleps70/sandbox and User:MarkKirkStan/sandbox), where Sleps70 has even used one of MarkKirkStan's images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (File:Braxton Foley Drip.png in the sandbox). MarkKirkStan does not have any edits outside of the sandbox that I can tell, and having doppelgängers is not agains policy, but I think it is still worth logging and documenting since it is hoaxing and perhaps violating CSD U5. Not sure if CU is required or not. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 20:50, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

 * I left Sleps uw-agf-sock. I don't see that anything beyond that is needed.  If if these do turn out to be the same person, it's hard to see what part of WP:ILLEGIT they would be violating.  Playing silly games in your sandbox, while not what we're here to do, isn't doing any active harm to the encyclopedia. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:00, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
