Of course not.
Why? Because Bbb23 has lobbying power.

Does “original” refer to Handroid7 or Chanc20190325?
He made an unblock request on both.
[Edit] Ah, you mean using the {{unblock}} template? Oh, that was only on Handroid7.

No, but Bbb23 scans everything he find.
But if so, it might be WP:TCAG13 that he created.

Yes, he did say that he is not going to do anti-circumcision editing and be more careful before botching another edit.

A few minutes later, before Bbb23's next response, he actually did disclose it.
But Anonymous201910 was created to ask a sensitive question on the German Wikipedia reference desk that he did not want to have it associated with the original account (WP:SOCKLEGIT), and it has not done even one edit on the English Wikipedia, so that account is unrelated to the issue, yet Bbb23 decided to humiliate him more than needed.
Also, if you take a look at Handroid7's innovative work (this is just one of many), you can't tell me he is not serious about making Wikipedia better.
By erasing 60+ of his legitimate articles and redirects, Bbb23 has unnecessarily added damage to Wikipedia. Even if his account was from a ban evasion, it does not change that his content was actually good.
Whatever he did wrong on his past account, he certainly deserves another try.
The only time he actually actively damaged Wikipedia were his anti-circumcision edits.
Indesputably, the ban-evasive account creation was indeed unlawful, but not actively damaged Wikipedia. From a purely logical point of view, it was just like any other account creation, as if he was “reset” or “reborn”.
I am not trying to justify his ban evasion, but I am sure that there are some lucky Wikipedians running around freely that have evaded their bans years ago without getting caught. But because they made thousands of good edits in the mean time, it does not matter anymore from today's point of view.
The evasion policy was presumably made to help keeping vandals out that have bad intentions.
Most readers of Wikipedia care about the content itself, and in that regard, Bbb23 has done the real damage.

Just as he has done many times before, particularly for his Admin protege and long time boyfriend, Drmies.Bbb23 asserted that concerns had been addressed and further discussion would be unfruitful. Concerns about GiantSnowman's use of the tool were unresolved at that point and Bbb23's closure was premature, given the circumstances at the time.

This may seem insignificant, but it should be seen for what it is - an opportunity to file an Arbitration Case against Bbb23 himself, seeking his desysopping for repeated failings, the very next time he shuts down an AN/I with his characteristic arrogant contempt. Which he will do, because that is who he is. This was not an issue of policy knowledge of or a genuine mistake, this happened because of what Bbb23 is at his very core, a fucking scumbag.

Bbb23 is, by far, the most abusive and aggressive Wikipedia administrator, according to community consensus.
Relevant enough for sticky thrad.
