See Articles for deletion/Rahil Gupta. After it was nominated for deletion it is suddenly being swarmed by newly registered editors who are voting it should be kept.

I believe it is clear there is at least a case of meatpuppetry going on - I would like to request a CU to see if this is a case of sockpuppetry though. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 14:20, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

has suddenly appeared and started editing Rahil Gupta with no previous edits and using the same edit summary as, who is currently blocked. Could someone check this account as well, please? Dolescum (talk) 05:27, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

I'll add an observation that the new accounts appeared only after Arjun7007 was told to stop posting repeated "keep" votes. Most of the new accounts have one or two minor, perfunctory edits in other areas, likely to prevent SPA tagging. Seems like a clear case of sockpuppetry or at least off-wiki canvassing. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:57, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Duck. 3 hours after account creation, after dabbling on Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal a bit, re-creates Rahil Gupta. Dai Pritchard (talk) 11:59, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * He tried twice to remove the speedy tag, oddly attempting to over-writing the article with the contents of Nirmal Singh. When that was deleted G4, he began a new draft at Draft:Rahil K Gupta‎, which presently consists mainly of the text of Nirmal Singh, with a photo of Rahul Gupta swapped in: Dai Pritchard (talk) 13:12, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
