Cheesesteak1 was created 05:12, 20 January 2019 (UTC) (log) (about nine hours after Squeaky Rubber Duck blocked for their original username “Prince Phillip in a collision” (log)) By 04:29, 16 February 2019 (UTC) Cheesesteak1 was able to go through the mechanics of a non-admin closure of a AFD. Obviously Cheesesteak1 had past experience with Wikipedia. (I have been a Wikipedian since 2005, but I couldn’t tell you how to do a non-admin closure.)

Both are obsessed with the Prince Philip accident: Squeaky Rubber Duck created 2019 Prince Philip road accident and recreated it as 2019 Prince Philip Road Accident and Licence Surrender after it was deleted by AFD. Cheesesteak1 made a non-admin closure (dif) against consensus of the AFD of the second article and edit warred (dif and dif) to maintain that closure. —teb728 t c 10:07, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Well I guess the mechanics of closure are not as obscure as I thought. —teb728 t c 11:21, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

 * based on geolocation. I agree that Cheesesteak1 seems pretty suspicious, so I ran a CU.  However, there isn't an obvious sock master. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:45, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * They just intersected again in an unsurprising way. Regardless of whether it's WP:MEAT or WP:SOCK, it's a policy violation. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:45, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
