The two Ks are SPAs who arrived on the scene to comment at Articles for deletion/Alina Padikkal (2nd nomination). There seems to be some bias in favour of the lady. Unless you see a behavioural similarity to one of our major sock farms I see no reason for CU. Your call on that. To me this looks simply like loud !vote quacking.

When I nominated an article for deletion, this user contested. Quite soon two brand new user accounts popped up to contest the AfD. Both new accounts had the exact same pattern of editing:,. It looks like these accounts were created solely for the purpose of voting against an AfD. Salimfadhley (talk) 12:49, 6 October 2020 (UTC) ( merged from identical filing)

 * The reviewing administrator may also want to take note of and ; the first being a confirmed sockmaster who created drafts about Padikkal (see Draft:Alina Padikkal1 for overlap with JJMhonest) and the latter being a disclosed paid editor who created Draft:Alina padikkal. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 13:47, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Albinjose, JJMhonest, and Moonlightpromoters have all created substantially similar versions of this page at various points, so either socks or all UPEs given the same draft to post. Kensuriya and Kevinsamjohn are either socks or meat and are clearly working toward the same goal as everyone else (promoting this one artist). . GeneralNotability (talk) 13:49, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

further interest in Alina Padikkal - please see Draft:Alina Padikkal1 and Draft:Alina Padikkal. Such a widespread farm you may wish to consider CU Fiddle   Faddle  14:02, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, Anoopgggg?g already blocked I see. Not for sockery though. Fiddle   Faddle  14:03, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

This is not a sure thing, and will require checking the IP address log, but Amaljosep19 was the first account to edit Draft:Alina Padikkal, and has similar interests, low profile edits to Indian persons who may or may not be notable. (There is also a similarity of usernames, which is not in itself reason to go checking.) Robert McClenon (talk) 17:56, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

 * For the record, ✅ Kevinsamjohn, JJMhonest 2020, Kensuriya. Albinjose636, Moonlightpromoters_kerala, Amaljosep19. There seems to be enough here that even if they aren't socks, we can use ArbCom's interpetation of WP:MEAT to deal with this.  since Feb - Anoopggggg. --  Amanda  (aka DQ) 02:20, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Arrived suddenly at Alina Padikkal today and made a flurry of fairly pointless edits including blanking the AfD banner. They have been on WP since Feb 2020, and CU did not pick them up in prior SPIs so I doubt it will if requested again. We could be in the meat area, and it could be duck meat based on behaviour. What concerns me is the sudden interest in this very deletable and previously deleted actress. On that basis I am notifying them of this investigation Fiddle   Faddle  20:27, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
 * With more time having elapsed it appears that this editor may simply be tidying things and may be caught up by accident. Fiddle   Faddle  13:55, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

 * I see now that and I probably crossed edits when I requested more info.  Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:58, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
