Master created hoax/vanity drafts Draft:Alexander Jackson Maier-Dlamini and Draft:Sungani Maveni Maier-Dlamini, now deleted at MfD. Master was indef'd for disruptive editing surrounding getting this "noble" added to List of marquesses in the peerages of Britain and Ireland. A week later, Informernorthernireland pops up to recreate one of the drafts and is blocked as an obvious sock (included here for completeness) and the draft title is ECP-protected.

New account Commonwealthinformation has now appeared, blanking the MfD discussion and requesting recreation of the draft. --Finngall talk 04:39, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I, for one, appreciate that their "source" is an editorial by Alexander Whoever, 11th Marquessesesessss of Wherever...and most of the comments on the editorial consist of "there is no such title" (along with lambasting the Independent for actually publishing that). .

 * Extremely to master via log data, and continuing to promote the same non-notable non-lord as last time (see deleted contribs at Draft:Alexander_Jackson_Maier and compare with last time: Draft:Alexander_Jackson_Maier-Dlamini). Blocked, closing.  firefly  ( t · c ) 18:29, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Informsnow19 created, in their first edit, Draft:Jackson Maier at 04:15, 2 September 2023‎, which based on reading Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Alexander Jackson Maier-Dlamini appears likely to be the same subject/vaguely the same article. Faits1789 (who actually registered on 18 November 2020, before Stluciainformation did) started also editing the article at 22:37, 4 September 2023‎ and their first edit is to remove the comments from an AFC reviewer with the edit summary "Ready for publication, meets all criteria.", User:Ca:  and then very quickly Faits1789 moved the article to mainspace:  at 22:38, 4 September 2023‎. Both users actively edited the page, including some back-and-forth with Ca. Faits1789 renamed it from "Jackson Maier" to "Alexander Jackson Maier" at 19:36, 5 September 2023‎ and moved it back at 23:42, 5 September 2023‎.

Faits1789 has moved and tagged what was (now Draft:Li Xing (academic)) quite a bit     and Informsnow19 has also edited it since then.

Faits1789 first article space were to Order of Saint Lucia in 2020 and edited it multiple times to adjust how it describes inclusion criteria  and talk ; and later in 2020 appears to have asked for help on a user's talk page for help finding sources and how to write an article that sounds very much like Maier:.

I first noticed this today because Faits1789 did an odd series of moves to draft space, among others, for Zimbabwe women's national football team (adding lots of tags and then tweaking  and Novel American for example. They engaged with me and User:Liz briefly on their talk page saying they understood or asking for help before quickly blanking the page:  . And now User:Deepfriedokra has noted their behavior on their talkpage as well.

Faits1789 in few hours after that has been adding/removing CSD/PROD/tags on articles:. Appears to remove information critical of the Rhodesian Front and Ian Smith (?) (sample):.

The overlap of all editing abouut Maier and the Stlucianinformation textual/somewhat topical match with the Order of Saint Lucia edits Fait1789 seems the core. Requesting checkuser since was recent activity that seems related. Skynxnex (talk) 12:42, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

 * I don't think that is related in any way - I think the diff presented above is just a case of one of these socks posting a reply in the wrong section - their own section was slightly further down the page.
