Added the first 2 accounts just for completeness (already blocked). New third account with topical overlap regarding Bikram malati. Repeatedly re-created self-promotion for non-notable alleged actor, bludgeoning questions for help and ignoring of advice. Master blocked as WP:NOTHERE. GermanJoe (talk) 01:37, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Looks like they've all been blocked by different admins. Note also Bitliliys, which I noticed created one of the drafts the socks are creating. -- ferret (talk) 01:51, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Both users trying to create the same article Krodh (2019). Their recent article Bikram malati Show makes it more clear that these two accounts are connected to each other. Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 17:42, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

 * The two accounts' versions of Krodh (2019) aren't identical, but since they both are SPAs promoting Bikram Malati, I agree that they're related. . GeneralNotability (talk) 20:28, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Seems obvious enough, check-user requested for confirmation. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:09, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Second edit of Kangaru10S was creation of Draft:Bikram Malati, submitted the next day by Crayzinthon.
 * Crayzinthon also made pages about the same person at User:Crayzinthon/sandbox and Draft:Bikram malati Actor.

 * Can a SPI clerk or CU combine this and Sockpuppet investigations/Bikram malati in mb? I'm sure they are the same sockpuppeteer. There also a lot of associated suspected sockpuppet accounts that I done see listed in these reports so I'm not sure whether they are confirmed or they were just seen as Ducks. Liz Read! Talk! 22:43, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, editors Showmy58 and 120.89.105.125 have popped up to edit Bikram Malati articles today. Most of the IP editors who have worked on Malati articles geo-locate to Nepal. Liz Read! Talk! 02:23, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

First edit was to add "Bikram malati" here. Created Draft:Bikram malati, Bikram Malati (film director), Draft:Bikram Malati (actor).

This is yet another user whose main purpose seems to be promoting Draft:Bikram Malati. The user recreated another draft with the name in small caps when the original one was declined. Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 16:04, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Creation of Draft:Bikram Malati (Film actor), probably because all of the regular page titles are extended protection to prevent recreation of his autobiography. He also starts nonsensical discussions about himself at BLP Noticeboard where he asks that his article not be deleted. He seems to go out of his way to draw attention to himself. I don't think a checkuser is called for because there is no stealth involved here. Liz Read! Talk! 21:29, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Ran a check. No additional accounts seen. CU log doesn't show a clear link, so this will need to be based on behavior. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 05:08, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * They're only here to promote the same non-notable subject that all the other socks were promoting, so - please indef the sock. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 10:28, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
