Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

This case is being reviewed by Tamzin as part of her training as a clerk. Please allow her to process the entire case without interference. You may pose any questions or concerns either on her talk page or on this page.

Two users creating the same article/draft isn't in itself evidence of sockpuppetry. If it's about a particularly obscure topic, it might be; or if the two users create similar versions, it might be; but this is an article/draft about a movie that's being released in two weeks. It's totally plausible that two users might think it's a good thing to create an article on. As to similarities, I've taken a look at the deleted version, and it seems quite different from the current draft.
@Limited Idea4me: On a non-clerk note, just as a concerned editor, it looks like you caused a significant amount of usable content to be lost by redirecting that page to the draft, since the redirect was then deleted under CSD R2. I'll have a word with the deleting admin, but in the future, a) please don't redirect articles to draftspace and b) if two versions of an article/draft exist, please merge them rather than redirecting one to the other. Thanks.
Clerk declined. Closing. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 20:40, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
