 * created 12 May 2020, goes straight to the Teahouse to ask about uploading pictures, then proceeds to create the beginnings of an article on "Malcolm Adams". They edit this sandbox article across May, before creating Malcolm Xavier Adams on 25 May 2020 as a cut & paste. This is an apparently non-notable promotional biography.
 * created 10 June 2020, going immediately to Malcolm Xavier Adams and working to expand the article from there.
 * comes back onto the scene 10 June 2020, creating Draft:Nicole Walters an apparently non-notable promotional biography, then jumping across to Malcolm Xavier Adams on 17 June 2020 for a single edit. Finally creating User:Sugamamaland/sandbox, which becomes Draft:Lamar Moore via another cut & paste creation. Another apparently non-notable promotional article.

 * The accounts are ❌ to each other from a purely technical standpoint. Notwithstanding the CU results, because of the accounts' unusual shared interests and the promotional tone of their contributions, I suspect these are separate people who are coordinating in some undisclosed way to promote these topics on Wikipedia. For this reason, I will be blocking all three accounts indefinitely. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 18:12, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
