Similar usernames to blocked socks Aamir Naik Official and Aamir Naik Artist, and their only edits have been to promote themselves and to edit Sajad Hussain Malik in order to try to save it from deletion. This pattern is similar to the two other blocked sockpuppets, as this is the main article they edited, and all these accounts are trying to stop the page from getting deleted.

 * - Blocked Aamir Naik Ixan without tags. This case should be moved to Aamir Naik Ixa and the tags adjusted. Bbb23 (talk) 12:36, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Moved case to oldest account, retagged socks, closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 13:17, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

First and only edit is on an AFD for an article that was created by a blocked sockmaster, and who has commented with a puppet https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sajad_Hussain_Malik&diff=prev&oldid=1097709866 on this AFD before... I smell duck.

Additionally, this AFD is also riddled with similar IPs "protesting" the AFD nom in varying degrees of the same argument. While I don't see a smoking gun to connect the IPs to any of these socks or the puppetmaster, (other than the intense interest of this insignificant article) reviewer may wish to consider potential connections, or block those IPs separately.

Near identical user name to past sock Jamia Masjid Ramban, same continued interest in keeping Sajad Hussain Malik an article recently deleted for failing GNG (as the other socks have also had the same saving interest), and same MO (to the other Jamia) of creating their user page to talk about a mosque. Zinnober9 (talk) 16:24, 19 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Additionally, they have stated "Why you are continuously deleting my article" stated here on their talk page indicating there has been other occasions, where this account has only created it once.
 * Unrelated to the socking, they made a legal threat here Zinnober9 (talk) 19:03, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged. Leaving CU request. Bbb23 (talk) 19:08, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The following accounts are all ✅ to Aamir Naik Ixa:
 * The account is  but evidence is weaker. With only a single edit and an inconclusive version string there's not much to go on EdJohnston (talk) 02:03, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

 * (Re)tagged the confirmed socks. I'm not too concerned about Sambhai1, a throwaway account with a single edit that did not affect the outcome of the AfD. They can be re-reported if they continue to edit in a suspicious manner. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 22:23, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

SPA created 8 March, and 6 minutes later first edit was creation of Draft:Aamir Naik. This was furthed edited by anon socks in the 122.161.0.0 range after the first decline of draft. A few well established editors like User:Kuru tried to improve it, but their work was reverted by an anon sock in the same range 30 May.

autocreated 30 May. At no point has actually edited Draft:Aamir_Naik yet, however:
 * first edit was to request approval for Draft:Aamir Naik at User talk:LindsayH (unclear why them, perhaps they declined a version by a previous sock): "I have mentioned all valuable and authentic sources reliable according to Wikipedia - Policies so i hope it will better for Draft:Aamir_Naik to approve soon."
 * Second edit was to tell off User:Umakant Bhalerao for declining the draft: "My newly created page is well defined with reliable articles which follows the Wikipedia references and policies, but still page is for modifying on which basis. I think you are harrassing me".
 * Third whinge at User:Theroadislong, slightly more polite, "Hey, i have made a draft of Draft:Aamir_Naik with reliable sources of Indian news Media, so hiw can yiu clearly say it is not suitable. Please check carefully its about an actor who done many roles in Bollywood films".
 * Fourth at User:Kuru: "A draft page created by me about an Indian actor and musician Draft:Aamir_Naik woth reliable sources matched with Wikipedia sources are not orphan or reprint. Please consider about this matter deeply than judge."

today recreated Sajad Hussain Malik at Draft:Sajad Hussain Malik (Volleyball), see Articles for deletion/Sajad Hussain Malik and SPI archive for more on that. Wikishovel (talk) 17:48, 2 June 2024 (UTC) Wikishovel (talk) 17:48, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
