Since the creation of the article on A A Mamun, there has been a succession of single-purpose accounts listed above (as well as multiple IPs) adding dubious unsourced content to the BLP of a similar type (and also repeatedly removing the subject's full name in favor of the initials used in the article title). The one under the name was warned about Wikipedia's policies about autobiographies, and stopped editing under that name, but not long after the same edits appeared from different spas. Contributions of Farah Deeba to A A Mamun: creation, blanking after another editor removed much puffery. Contributinos of Fahim avalon: re-inserting puffery (with misleading edit summary). Contributions of Shovan1962: two edits adding a picture (this one seems less likely to be a match than the others). Contributions of 117.18.231.13: four edits reinserting puffery. Contributions of Aamamun: four edits reinserting puffery. Contributions of Soyon-plasma: three edits and two more. Contributions of Tasnim physics: one small edit and one larger one reinserting the same material. Contributions of M S Alam Soyon: one edit adding a photo. This appears to be one person using sockpuppets to evade our rules against autobiographies. David Eppstein (talk) 06:56, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * After the checkuser has already happened, I am adding one more user,, who has recently taken over editing the article with a very similar pattern of promotional edits . —David Eppstein (talk) 02:28, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Going to call this one as similar with and  largely having a wide overlap of material. I don't have time to look through the stale ones tonight, but I'll go ahead and block and tag the confirmed ones and the master. --Rschen7754 10:49, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Blocking 2 more socks. The rest, including the IP, are inconclusive at this time. Tagged and closing. Rschen7754 21:33, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Same MO as the sockfarm from 2013. Draft:A. A. Mamun is a POV fork written by a single-purpose account whose sole contributions, save for one, have been to the draft and the talk page of the (semi-protected) article it's a fork of. Given the eight year gap, I'm presuming this is a WP:MEAT situation and am therefore going off of behavioural evidence only. —A little blue Bori v^_^v  Jéské Couriano 23:52, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

 * As noted, this is 8 years from the last sock. Even MEAT would be a stretch.  UPE/COI, sure, but those can be handled elsewhere.   We ask new editors to make talk-page edit requests, and that's what they did.  The fork in draft space is certainly sub-optimal, but it looks like the AfC crew (i.e.  already have a handle on that.  I'm going to close this with no action taken. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:16, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
