 * Suspected sockpuppets

A little background is necessary for this one. First, the suspected master created Uncensored Documentary, a rather promotional article on a documentary about narcoterrorism. This was nominated for deletion due to a suspected copyright violation. Then, we have the suspected sock, which has a very similar name (that of the director of the documentary, incidentally, and they've confirmed this) and is using the userpage to promote herself and the documentary. So it seems as though the same person created two accounts: one for personal publicity, another for advertising her documentary. GABHello! 22:36, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
