Ajit "Aniruddha" Nazre created the article Ajit Nazre, soon Analia Smith removed the speedy tag and continued spamming. After receiving warnings on that, Smartsonal30 was around to continue the spamming, once warned Sonalsalunkhe took over and continued the spamming. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  09:05, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

I came across this user as they've created several pages with the name of Ajit Nazre. They are as follows: Ajit Nazre Wellington Partners, Ajit Nazre Silicon Valley, Ajit Nazre Reliance Jio, Ajit Nazre glo, Ajit Nazre Zimmer, Ajit Nazre Kleiner Perkins. I've already blocked and tagged them, but I wanted to have this here just so it's listed and because this makes me worry that this might be one of a new wave of socks, as the other accounts were blocked around the 15th and this account was registered on the 20th. This username is in keeping with some of the other usernames like Smartsonal30. I'm not quite sure why they're doing this rather than edit the main article, which makes me wonder if they were doing this in an attempt to get around the deletion of the main page. (IE, to have more things that come up in google hits, a failed attempt at making redirects, a way to have him on Wikipedia if/when the main page gets deleted, or something like that.) In any case, this does seem to be a WP:DUCK situation. I'll leave it up to you guys if this needs to have a sweep or not. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:26, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Continuing the work of Analia Smith and previous socks, promoting Anjit Nazre and adding tons of links to Nazre's own websites, both to articles related to, or claimed to be related to, Nazre and totally unrelated pages. Also removing material related to the Ellen Pao trial. DIFFS: Shewalesuraj, , , , , ; Poonamvmore , , , , ,. Thomas.W talk 11:38, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged as suspected socks; for the record, I also blocked a couple of days back. Don't think there's a need for CU here, so marking for close. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  15:13, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Today's sock of Analia Smith, with the exact same spamming of links to Ajit Nazre's multiple own websites, and general promotion of Nazre, as previous socks, , ,. A new twist is that they now tried to point words such as "investor" to a Nazre web site instead of to the en-WP article about it. Thomas.W talk 09:28, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Attempted the re-re-re-creation of Ajit nazre. This is my first encounter with this entity (I attempted to merely prod the article before discovering its history), but based on the previous AfD and past reports here, the quacking seems obvious. -- Finngall  talk  13:35, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Perpetually recreating spam articles for Ajit Nazre, Ajit Nazre Aniruddha, Aniruddha Nazre, and possibly other variants, too, for all I know. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:06, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
