Mahin330BD has been trying to create Draft:Ariyan Mehedi for a while. It has been deleted a few times; not notable and promotional. User Betaminul365 created the same page Draft talk:Ariyan Mehedi (check history). This is not the first time their editing overlapped. The two accounts are also working together on Draft:Tanzid Basunia; a similar non notable topic. Outside these overlapping edits they have no major edits.

User:Rijviraj07 has created the Draft:Ariyan Mehedi, the same topic Bet365aminul and all his socks had been trying to create. In the same month, April 2021, User:Rijviraj07 and User:Ariya Mehboob are working together to create a promotional article on a non-notable topic, Draft:Rijvi Raj. When the article of the second user was deleted the first user recreated the same article.

Requesting checkUser as I suspect there are other sleeper accounts. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 05:38, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

The name is similar to Tanvirnahid565, and the behavior is clearly that of another sock who is submitting Lubna Marium and Ziaul Hoque Polash. There is another sock at work also. Cambria Math appears to be the most likely sockmaster. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:54, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

This account started editing soon after last week's CU and block. They have once again created Lubna Marium. Might be worth another sleeper check given what happened last time. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:27, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Note: NDigital has been renamed to -- RoySmith (talk) 14:37, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

User:EngrShakamal created the page Lubna Marium. Blocked user:Raymankarim uploaded c:File:Lubna Marium.jpg on commons. The first thing user:Purnopran did is to add that to Lubna Marium. I don't think this is coincident. Then user:Purnopran expanded the article like some of previous sock. User:NDigital 's first edit was also on Lubna Marium. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:48, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

 * - None of the accounts named here are related to any of the others based on CU data. There's not a lot of historical data, but from what I see, nothing matches there either.  However, this got a bit messy, so I'm going to relist it for another CU to double-check. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:02, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I would give it but CU is also almost walking blind in this case. Take that as you will and look at behavior. --  Amanda (she/her)  03:30, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Dxbnetworkbd seems obvious to Dxbnetwork.

Mayajal2022 was created prior to Dxbnetwork. Recently, they recreated Draft:Ariyan Mehedi. Previous edits are mostly adding the person's mention to various articles. Overlapping edits to Imran Mahmudul, NTV (Bangladeshi TV channel) with Dxbnetwork and Md. Joynal Abedin Bhuiyan with Dxbnetworkbd. Similar summary language e.g. "I just add references" vs "I just add information with reference".

I'll note it's confusing looking at SPI history here - it looks like multiple people socking from first impression. Ariyan Mehedi promo being one. I don't see immediate similarities to accounts like User:Raymankarim. — HELL KNOWZ ∣ TALK 22:45, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

 * This case continues to be difficult to navigate. To start with the simple part, Mayajal2022 is ✅ to Dxbnetworkbd, and I assume Dxbnetwork is the same based just on the username (I don't have any CU data for Dxbnetwork).  The problem is Mayaj and Dxb are only  to any other account for which I have data (which isn't very many).  I'll block and tag those two as suspected to Bet365aminul, which is probably the best we can do right now. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:48, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

As at about 10 am 26 Feb 2024 UTS, the article Ariyan Mehedi exists in articlespace. The page might appear to be a pretty simple WP:A7 speedy deletion candidate but there would appear to me more to this.

Other than the Wikishovel business, I see no behavioral similarity between Lets make it thrice and the socks here. They haven't tried to create some version of Ariyan Mehedi. They haven't edited about anything related to Bangladesh. I don't recall anyone recent touching the topic of African articles (Congo in this instance). Do you have anything else you think would be helpful to mention?--Bbb23 (talk) 14:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
