User:Tlogmer indicated here that he/she was in the practice of saving deleted articles by placing them in the userspace of sockpuppets, and in the same section, mentioned two of the articles in question, User:Tlogmer/Captain Obvious and User talk:Tlogmer/List of planets in Futurama. On his Talk Page it is indicated that he and/or other users have done this with many other articles, such as User:Tlogmer/SMB, User:Tlogmer/Monty Hell problem, User:Tlogmer/Quantum fiction, User:Tlogmer/Lemon, User:Tlogmer/Effects of Christmas on the environment, User:Tlogmer/Astrosociobiology, User:Tlogmer/Death yell, User:Tlogmer/Book of spells of serpents, User:Tlogmer/Chessckers, User:Tlogmer/Single serving sites, User:Tlogmer/Sleaze rock list, and User:Tlogmer/The Peninsula Outlook.
 * Evidence

I asked User:ScienceApologist about this, in order to confirm whether this activity is permissable according to WP policy, since I wasn't sure whether articles placed in one user's userspace constituted sockpuppetry, and Science Apologist responded to me thus:

 * Such activity is explicitly prohibited by Wikipedia. For an example of a MfD I placed pointing this out less than one week ago, see this. Also, if this user is creating new users to do this, it is also in violation of Wikipedia's alternate account policy and should be brought up to the sockpuppet noticeboard. Especially note the third criteria of this of guideline, this guideline, and criteria 4 for CSD for rationales why this stuff should be deleted from Wikipedia. If I were you, I would place the Template:Db-g4 speedy deletion tags on all the offending pages. If the author removes them, bring them up immediately to WP:MfD. If you have been involved with direct conflicts with this user, don't delete the content yourself. Let an "uninvolved" administrator do it so you don't mired in an unnecessary fight.

 * It looks to me as though these aren't "new user accounts" but rather are just newly created subpages. They should still be deleted under other guidelines, but my impression is that this is not really an alternate account as much as using a disallowed use of subpages.
