The,, a recently created account, with no good contributions here, but come for a purpose to get articles of Deobandi scholars deleted, and AfDing just Deoband related articles for deletion, without doing a due WP:BEFORE. The two articles they AfDed are Majid Ali Jaunpuri and Syed Mehboob Rizwi. Looks like a single purpose account through this mirror.

In past, Authordom also AfDed a number of articles about Deobandi scholars and seminaries like Asad Madani, Madrasa Sawlatiyah, Jamiatul Qasim Darul Uloom Al-Islamiah, Jamia Khairul Madaris, Najeeb Qasmi, Inamul Hasan Kandhlawi, Darul Uloom Karachi, Saad Kandhlawi and many more.

The AfD pattern makes me doubt that the Mumbaigold account is operated by Authordom. Requesting CU. Thanks ─ The Aafī (talk) 11:54, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * The interaction analyzer shows no overlapping pages or articles at all. There are also no specific diffs or information stated here that I can use to justify the use of CheckUser here. Just because someone makes or takes "generally-similar-like" edits or actions doesn't automatically mean that the accounts are connected. If new evidence or information is presented to provide more in-depth similarities, I'll be happy to evaluate that evidence. As of now, CheckUser is off the table.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   01:10, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * It's clear that Mumbaigold has prior experience on wikipedia. Could be socking, could be a clean start, who knows?  I've issued them a uw-agf-sock warning to make sure they're aware of our policies and closing this for now. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:31, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
