Suspected sockpuppets


AG created an autobio, Draft:Anup Gowda which was declined and deleted. Webdotcomsolutions created a carbon copy, Draft:Anup Draft almost immediately. Probably UPE meat. Hat tip to for the UAA report. Cabayi (talk) 13:51, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Added ; Webdotcomsolutions was renamed to Santu731, and Santosh has submitted the draft. There is a remarkable level of interest in Anup Gowda, and it is either sock- or meat-puppetry. - Please compare the accounts. --Jack Frost (talk) 19:48, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * All of these users are ✅ to one another. While the Webdotcomsolutions account was only softblocked, the creation of that account seems to have been an attempt to avoid proper scrutiny when they resubmitted the declined draft, so I am going to block all of these accounts.
