 * ✅. I'm not seeing any obvious other accounts, but they're active on a few different ranges and I haven't spent hours searching - so far, they're making themselves pretty obvious, come back if you see any similar recreations. Closing.  Girth Summit  (blether)  09:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Baba9090 has been creating the same kind of microstubs as previous socks about Indian politicians and journalists (I can't point to any examples since creations by previous accounts have been deleted) and engaging in the same kind of moves between mainspace and draftspace with different capitalisations – compare Baba1031's move log with Baba9090's move log. The user name also fits into the pattern, with the master Baba1031 and the previous sock Kuku9090.

Apnakamlesh1593 has no edits on en.wiki but is registered here and has uploaded a bunch of photos on Commons, which Baba9090 have added to drafts they have created, on the same day they were uploaded.

Another day, another sock of Baba1031. The info I posted to the most recent previous sock didn't help any. This one also fits the naming pattern, and the drafts are identical to those created by previous socks in the archives.

The most obvious smoking guns are Draft:Vikram singh meena and Draft:Rajaram Meel, both previously created by blocked sock User:Baba9090. bonadea contributions talk 05:32, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

 * I came here with the same question. Plus, an editor is already tagging their page creations as CSD G5 so I wanted to see if the sockpuppetry was confirmed. Liz Read! Talk! 02:58, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

 * ✅; recreating the same article removes any doubt.  Girth Summit  (blether)  11:54, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

They've only been active for 2 days but already recreated Draft:Vikram Singh Meena and another page about an Indian polician. I've already blocked them, I just thought I'd report them here for a complete record. I usually wait for confirmation here before blocking but it seemed obvious in this case. Thank you. Liz Read!

 * Name pattern, timing of signup, and draft recreation makes it clear. Tagging and closing. Thank you for the report. MarioGom (talk) 06:51, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Quacking over micro-stub drafts for politicians. Same modus operandi. Little bit of tag team editing, too. CU sleeper (etc) check since this farm has grown ever larger. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 09:40, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
