Pretty straightforward case of WP:DUCK. In addition to the striking similarities in username and that both have made edits to promotional drafts about Augustine Nwaora, this editor also appears to forgotten to have switched back to their intended account when editing the sockpuppet's talk page per this edit.

Various copyedits and null edits, and then they started writing about Augustine Nwora, in their sandbox and in a draft created by a previous account. Also compare this post by a previous account to this by the current account. There are other similarities as well, such as the type of copyedits they make. bonadea contributions talk 05:51, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Their activity on Draft:Augustine (Austyn) David Nwaora their conversation at Teahouse, the followup answer on User talk:Hoary, and Special:Diff/947757796 show abundantly that they're WP:MEAT & UPE.  Blocked and tagged. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 08:56, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't even bother to make copyedits – first and only edits were to Draft:Augustine Nwaora, submitting it for AfC review. bonadea contributions talk 21:04, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edited Draft:Augustine Nwaora after a sock of Austine was blocked and could no longer edit on that draft. Seems highly unlikely this user would just stumble upon this draft and looks as if this user also has a history of creating G11s including a David Austyn page (maybe that's a stretch from Austine David) Sulfurboy (talk) 06:05, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
