On 14 January, an AfD was opened on whether to delete the article Cryptonews. I had a controversial discussion with the suspected sock master about the subject where they argued for the company's notability. Since, several delete votes have accrued. Now, today the suspected sock has !voted keep although they only have a handful of edits to their name. (Most of which are at the article in question.) It is unlikely that a user who has only been around for a few days would have a good awareness of AfD procedures. Therefore, I suspect a puppet relationship with the article creator.

 * The suspected sock has explained that they recently switched accounts from . The account has a similarly limited edit history, which makes me think that they might be a WP:MEATPUPPET or a WP:SPA instead of a sock. Modussiccandi (talk) 17:17, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

I should add that the above IP has only one edit to their name and has reiterated the comments made by the suspected sock master in the linked AfD. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:31, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm closing this with no actions. There are some differences between the editing that make me question whether this is the same person, despite the interest in the same subject; either way, the suspected sock and IP haven't edited in over a month, and the AfD discussion that brought them all together was closed as delete, so there's no ongoing disruption to prevent.
