All accounts blocked per WP:DUCK as they have all recreated an autobiography about a non-notable author with dubious claims and/or his non-notable book.

Requesting check for sleeper accounts or feasibility of range block. My guess is that the range block is not feasible because if the listed IPs are his, then the range is far too big to block. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:28, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

 * - Endorsing for sleeper check. My guess is that the IP range is too wide to effectively block. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:48, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think IP blocking is feasible at this time. There would be collateral damage. Frank  &#124;  talk  18:49, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Sock created to remove CSD from articles  ttonyb (talk) 06:38, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Added an IP, same behavior, same articles Wuh  Wuz  Dat  06:53, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Added Vrindadasi, who is actually the oldest of these accounts and created the same, probably self-promotional, article about Dr.avinash Patra under different capitalisations. JohnCD (talk) 14:14, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Was just getting ready to add this, I was thinking the same thing. Enfcer (talk) 07:16, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * These accounts are only interested in posting about Dr Patra; if Vishnupriyadasi tries again, or if any more socks appear, I suggest his block be extended from 31 hr. JohnCD (talk) 14:24, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Blocked the sock, and blocked the master for 31 hours for puppeting. The autoblock has kicked on for the IP. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:41, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Per JohnCD's findings, I've moved the case and updated the blocks. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:20, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Added Avishekdasa, who added the same bio again this morning; this is a persistent one. Blocked and tagged. JohnCD (talk) 09:52, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Added Katrinadasi, Sairamdasa and Cathrinedasi for the record, all blocked and tagged. JohnCD (talk) 11:04, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Given that this doesn't show any sign of stopping, I'm endorsing this for a checkuser to block the IPs behind this editor. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:54, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It doesn't look like a rangeblock/IP block is feasible at this point. There are two very active /17 ranges being used and the IPs seem to be reassigned quickly. TN X Man  16:25, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Bleh, alright. We'll WP:RBI as necessary then. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 16:29, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Recreated an article about Avinash Patra (previously deleted more than once - and using a rather similar name. (In line with WP:DUCK I have blocked this user, but feel there may be sleepers.} Peridon (talk) 15:19, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Adding a CU to find sleepers per Peridon's request. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:38, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing found, mostly because the ranges involved here are pretty large (too large to block without a pressing need, as well). Dominic·t 07:20, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, we're done then. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 00:59, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

I haven't blocked, yet, in case they have anything to say at the AfD, but it's a DUCK case and there is really nothing to say, so I have no objection to anyone else blocking. JohnCD (talk) 14:31, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Sleepers/Is it possible for an IP block now? -- DQ  (t)   (e)  14:59, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Blocked, Tagged, CSD G5d Both articles, closed AFD. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  15:12, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Bhagavansri also blocked and tagged. I have proposed at AN a formal site ban, for what that is worth - see WP:AN. JohnCD (talk) 19:04, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

The IP range I checked is a bit busy to reliably block any other accounts. –MuZemike 17:03, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks to Rschen for creating this, the only reason I didnt do this right away is that I figured nothing would show up. But as long as we're here I'm going to add two more names to the list, people who edited Legoktm's ongoing RfA.  I expect the checkuser will not find a connection between all three of these, because at least the bare IP traces to Clearwire, a wireless Internet service used by Sprint and several smaller cellphone companies. All three edited articles about India, mostly with good edits, as would be expected by someone familiar with the subject matter.  I know India is a big country and having three people who edit articles related to India doesn't prove anything but it caught my eye.  — Soap — 14:58, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
