Lisa Pegher, a spammy article deleted once already for a copyvio of the artist's official biography. Appears to be switching between accounts to avoid accusation of autobiography or COI.

I think the comments below clear the matter up sufficiently. I've been watching this article since it was (re)created 2 days ago, thought it had been deleted for copyvio reasons, then saw restoration edits from an admin. Turns out that admin was actually restoring earlier versions of this article. I didn't notice the dates of those earlier edits and incorrectly suspected sock puppetry. This case can be closed. --

The only indication of sockpuppetry, as far as I can see, is that this user recreated an article (from web-based sources) in 2009 that had been created in 2007 by a different user. The current user may be a fan or friend of the article subject, and there seems no reason to think this is
User:Lpegher1 returning to the article after it was left deleted for 2 years -- at least I see no such indications. I restored the 2007 revisions, which had been deleted, IMO improperly, under
WP:CSD#A7, today.
