 * - shared interest in articles that Gulshanravilahore created. Requesting CU because the behavioral evidence is a little weak to block on its own and for a sleeper check (since the last CU turned up a bunch of other accounts). GeneralNotability (talk) 14:33, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Great batalvi is ✅ to and  to the master (Akhtaradv/Gulshanravilahore)., closing. Mz7 (talk) 21:43, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Significant overlap in interests (mostly puffing up articles about Pakistani lawyers and legal folks), astounding amount of overlap with past socks (especially on pages created by the sockmaster), excessive use of images with questionable provenance.

 * Well, self, you've convinced me, . See also their contribs on other wikis promoting Akhtar Aly Kureshy, who appears to be the person behind this account (Akhtaradv -> Akhtar Advocate).  - sleeper check please, all known socks are  but they've used multiple socks at once in the past. I'm also going to request a lock here; they're blocked on multiple projects and this self-promotion is cross-wiki. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:03, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Very obvious sock, even claims not to be a new account on the talk page of Mushir Alam (judge) created by a recent sock, now edit warring with Onel and calling them a sock... VAXIDICAE💉 21:15, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

 * - I'd appreciate a CU take a look here. Their behavior at Mushir Alam is suspicious enough for me to request a check, but them finding that article could plausibly be explained by the article being tagged for copyediting. Other than their actions at Mushir Alam and its talk page, their behavior does not line up with past Akhtaradv socks. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:44, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * ❌ as far as checkuser evidence goes...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:21, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Closed without action, then...like I said, their behavior at Mushir Alam makes me suspicious, but past socks have had pretty clear interests and CU results, and this ain't either. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:23, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
