Does this exist already?

Is this article pretty much the same as this? It's very similar and has more information than this article.

When Alternative Accounts gets created, we can merge it there. Otherwise, a merge to Account seems inconsistent so I would keep this page until further notice.

Is talking about griffpatch_tutor considered "users or user-generated content?"

It seems like it's advertising; maybe it would be better off if one of the Wiki example accounts were used?

In general using real examples is allowed as long as it's only used as an example within the context of the article. However, in this case I agree with you because I think the example is superfluous.

"Identifying Test Accounts" section is wrong

I think that you don't identify a test account from the username but from the contents he makes.

Often both. I have a test account called Adzboy_Test, that is identifiable by its username.

I think what's there is fine. It serves as a quick identifier without having to comb through their projects. It's not perfect of course, but works well enough for a first pass. The wording also makes it clear that the method isn't foolproof (by using words such as "often").
