Either Victorinoxy is Zhubin Rahbar helping out with this autobiography, or Victorinoxy is clueless and is just acting like a sockpuppet. Request CheckUser because the behavior is strange enough that it isn't an obvious quacking. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:39, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - Victorinoxy says, at the AFC Help Desk, that they are a fan of the actor and were planning to write a BLP and then found this one, which is the autobiography. They are either telling the truth and are a clueless fan, or they are the subject and are being deceitful.  Robert McClenon (talk) 01:09, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , The problem is, as Amanda pointed out, there's no overlap in edits. One account stopped editing on June 3rd, the other didn't start until June 14th.  Even if they turned out to be the same person, say via a CU confirmation, we wouldn't block them because the assumption is that this is a WP:CLEANSTART, lost password, or something like that.  In other words, nothing that falls under WP:ILLEGIT.  I'm going to close this with no action taken.  If you wanted, you could engage with them on their talk page(s) and explain to them about our socking policy. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:37, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - Okay. I think then that I will continue to report cases like this, and leave it up to the CUs and the SPI clerks to decide what is a violation of the sockpuppet policies.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:16, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

 * - I don't see the overlap in time, nor any previous sanction on the user. This could be as easy as a forgotten password. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 05:46, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Closing with no action taken. See my reply to Robert McClenon, above. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:38, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
