Suspected sockpuppets
Originally caught my attention from recreation of Ground News, a page previously deleted per G5 in December 2023 and recreated in March 2024 by user:DV79. It was actually a follow-up edit to that page that led me to SPI. Edit was made by user:NootyNooter (account created in November 2023 with only 96 edits). History shows they blanked their sandbox on January 16, 2024 (which contained a draft for the page Buckshot Roulette that was started on January 3rd). The page was actually created on January 8th with similar lead statement by user:Cloud 223. A check of the edit history for Buckshot Roulette shows edits from SPAs over the last month with similar username styles. I did NOT list DV79 in the list above as although their recreation is suspicious, I do not see a direct connection to the others (unless a CU sees it otherwise fit to check). There are also more SPAs that I did not list but including the most obvious since others would likely show up in the CU. CNMall41 (talk) 20:07, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

 * - I'm struggling with the evidence here. This is a video game that's apparently popular on social media - I don't think it's surprising that a lot of inexperienced users would be editing it. The sandbox thing is a bit odd, I guess, but that's also a pretty standard format for the lead sentence of a video game article. Without more specific evidence, I don't think a check is justified.

 * Insufficient behavioral evidence to justify a CU or issue any blocks on behavioral evidence alone. The Wordsmith Talk to me 00:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
