Suspected sockpuppets

I recently closed the AfD for Bloody Beach (2015 film) as a snow close. While I was checking out the article's overall history I noticed that the article had first been created by TheOneCandleMan. After it was deleted the first time at the beginning of December, it was recreated by MyBloodyValentine4D a few weeks later. The article is suspected to be a hoax, given the almost complete lack of coverage out there outside of a weebly page with dubious content control. It's one of the other constants with the articles and it's very likely a hoax website. MyBloodyValentine4D also created Killagators and Killagators 2, both of which were previously created by TheOneCandleMan. They also share editing history on No One Can Hear You Scream, which was created by TheOneCandleMan.

It seems very likely that they're either the same person or two people working in tandem (WP:MEAT). I'm also concerned that TheOneCandleMan is trying to evade the deletion of other pages, given the edit history at Blood Oath (2007 film), which has him cut/pasting an article with this edit in October, which shows that the article has tags from September. I can't find the source, but it seems like they're pulling it from somewhere so I'm concerned that TheOneCandleMan might not be the original account and could itself be a sockpuppet.

Basically, my thought is that MyBloodyValentine4D was created in order to skirt some of Wikipedia's guidelines, either via a second account or via someone that they enlisted to help them. The content on the deleted articles looks to be identical, so it seems unlikely that they're completely unrelated. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:03, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
