  • Comment I'm not really convinced that this account, which has since been blocked, or the also-blocked suspected other sock, SalmanArkd, are connected to Jehowahyereh. The other accounts appear to have far less of a grasp of editing basics (signatures, adding AfD tags but not starting AfDs, etc) and many of their edits are in broken English, which Jehowahyereh doesn't seem to do. I'm also a little concerned that creating an SPI is this editor's first-ever edit and their only other edit is the AfD. GPL93 (talk) 00:02, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • The two accounts already blocked are definitely socks of one another; no real evidence has been presented to suggest that Jehowahyereh is connected though, so I haven't run a check on them (and they were not observed on the range used by the other accounts).

Suspected sockpuppets

On March 6th, Jehowahyereh was blocked for UPE. They accused UtherSRG, LordVoldemort728 and myself of targeting them. They claimed that I nominated Jayaram Kailas (a previously soft deleted article Jehowahyereh restored by requesting undeletion) for deletion and shortly after,LordVoldemort728 nominated Akkaldhamayile Pennu for deletion. A user named "Christopheronthemove" joined less than a day ago and has been voting on many AFD's. It is unusual that a new user would be so familiar with our notability guidelines. Liz has already asked if the user has used any previous accounts. I think that they are trying to protect Akkaldhamayile Pennu thereby Jayaram Kailas as they added a citation and voted in its favor at the deletion discussion.

They have placed a 'keep' vote on Jayaram Kailas, just as I had predicted. Akevsharma (talk) 10:17, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
More evidence
Mz7, Based on these evidence I'm sure that the user Christopheronthemove is a sock puppet of Jehowahyereh, created solely to prevent the deletion of Jayaram Kailas and Akkaldhamayile Pennu. While they have tried to cover their tracks by participating in other AFDs, I find it unlikely that a new user would jump into AFD discussions so quickly after creating an account. Furthermore, they have made seemingly random edits with articles named Jayaram, as shown in these diffs: [1], [2]. This is to mislead us that they reached Jayaram Kailas not on purpose. They have also added the duplicate sources to Akkaldhamayile Pennu in an attempt to improve it. Given all of this evidence, I believe that a block of this account would be justified. Akevsharma (talk) 13:40, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The reason I believe that Jigar1984 may be a sockpuppet is because they are a new user, and the article they created, DJ Savyo, was nominated for deletion by Thesixserra. Christopheronthemove subsequently came to put keep vote. It is worth noting that the subjects discussed in these deletion discussions are related to the Indian state of Kerala.

  • Rahulphotoshop is  Confirmed to Jehowahyereh. The best I can say about Christopheronthemove and Jigar1984 is  Possible, Christopheronthemove perhaps slightly more so than Jigar1984. Behavior will need to be the deciding factor here. Mz7 (talk) 13:00, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've tagged Jehowahyereh and Rahulphotoshop. The evidence pertaining to the other two users is thin and the filer has now been blocked as a sock, so I'm not inclined to spend too much time looking into this. No prejudice against another filing with more evidence from someone who is not evading a block themselves. Spicy (talk) 21:14, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vishnu005clt has made a total of 36 edits and their last edit was on December 31 2022 before going into a short hibernation. They have now returned from sleep to participate in voting at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jayaram Kailas (2nd nomination). This behavior could be considered meatpuppetry unless it is a case of sockpuppetry, as they may be using different IP ranges. Please check for any more possible sleepers.

Rajeshkattakada created account 25 October 2022, makes 2 edits, goes to sleep. Wakes up 17 April 2023, creates Draft:Anuragam (2023 film), submits it, then when it's declined moves it to Anuragam (2023 film). Immediately after User:Christopheronthemove is blocked, an IP editor makes these edits a few minutes apart: 2 tweaks to Anuragam (2023 film) [3], [4], then removes the G5 speedy template from an article created by Christopheronthemove: [5].

Maskman2003 is creating articles in the draftspace fist and then tries to move it to mainspace the similiar way Christopheronthemove is doing. 111.92.78.203 (talk) 02:09, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Undraftifying of Abhilash Pillai (film writer) which has previously been moved both in and out of draftspace by socks. UtherSRG (talk) 19:43, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I just came to report this editor as well. Jehowahyereh's latest sock always seem to be created a few days after the previous one is blocked and they seem, in particular, to be drawn to this article. The page history is mostly composed of edits by socks. Liz Read! Talk! 22:27, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
