This is either a sockpuppet or a meatpuppet situation, and likely a COI case, too. Both editors are single-purpose accounts (with similar two-word name structures) that exist only to edit the Asmongold article, specifically to add achievements and remove any personal information, particularly any mention of the article subject's real name. MageTea has only 4 edits in their history, and after 1.5 years of inactivity, just showed up to vote "no" in an RfC about inclusion of the article subject's name, shortly after SturmFernmelder filed a (failed) complaint at AN trying to get the name suppressed from the article.

0xDeadbeef, would you be willing to shoot me an e-mail pointing me toward the off-wiki stuff? Thanks. Grandpallama (talk) 18:21, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

• There is some off-wiki stuff that make me believe these two accounts are not operated by the same person. But I don't see any on-wiki reason to object to a CheckUser since these are accounts with the same narrow interest and have participated at the same discussion as SPAs. Therefore I am endorsing, although I am pessimistic about technical evidence returning any actionable results. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 10:34, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• 0xDeadbeef was somewhat prophetic here. The most useful thing I can say is  Unlikely... Salvio ^giuliano 20:15, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• I don't think any of these users are blockable without (a) a very strong behavioral connection between the two accounts that suggests they are operated by the same person, sure they have the same interests and hold the same positions, I think we can just tag them as SPAs. or (b) anything that would suggest they are bringing disruption here. Closing without action. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 10:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
