Creating identical promotional userpages; see the deleted versions of User:TheVictoryMan and User:Ashish Shrivastava -PGDM. TVM account created at 04:31 and userpage created 04:34, AS account created 04:46 and userpage created 04:47: Whilst these two accounts are a clear duck I'm requesting a CU to see if there's any other accounts out there given the rapidly sequential account creation.

 * Sequential account creation isn't, in itself, a violation of the sockpuppetry policy, and while creating a spammy userpage isn't great, neither account has edited since their userpages were deleted on October 3rd. I don't see anything to indicate that this is serious ongoing abuse as opposed to a new user who is not aware that Wikipedia isn't social media & perhaps wanted to change their username. Both accounts have already received warnings for creating inappropriate pages, which seems like a suitable response. Accordingly, I'm closing this case with no further action.
