Besides the obvious similarity in usernames, these accounts are all adding promotional content to articles related to Power Corporation of Canada and the Desmarais family, who runs it. See, ,. There's also a shared interest in Canadian companies and businesspeople in general. All three of these accounts are active on frwiki where they are editing the same topics. I think the behavioural evidence is enough for a duck block, but as this appears to be slightly sophisticated UPE I'm requesting Checkuser to see if we're dealing with socks or meat and uncover any other potential accounts.

Two more socks focused on Power Corporation of Canada and trying to get rid of the COI tag there; additional overlap on other targeted pages (EIA). Similar edit summaries, but BEANS. Requesting CU for sleepers. Blablubbs | talk 20:27, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Both accounts have also edited frwiki, and there's some additional overlap for BlingChic on w:fr:Special:PageHistory/Alimentation Couche-Tard and w:fr:Special:PageHistory/Air Transat. Blablubbs | talk 20:39, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Lock requested and received. --Blablubbs | talk 19:43, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
