See Praneet Sah. A draft was written by Kishore kher, whose other contributions include adding linkspam to Praneet Sah's blog. Hailhailgeeks tried to review the draft as his third contribution to Wikipedia but could not accept it because the account is not autoconfirmed. Within minutes of Hailhailgeeks being told so on IRC, Cerefo, who had previously written a draft on Sah, reviewed and accepted the draft. Cerefo had not made any edits for the past six months. The timing suggests either sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry. Huon (talk) 20:16, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

 * All edits from Cerefo, Kishore kher and Hailhailgeeks come from the same IP. CU-wise, the PCs of Kishore kher and Hailhailgeeks are same, while Cerefo's configuration appears slightly different. Materialscientist (talk) 05:15, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Both socks blocked and tagged as CU confirmed, based on the CU findings and the behaviour I've blocked and tagged Cerefo as the confirmed master. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:59, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

More tag team editing to get Praneet Sah published and out of AfC. User:Kkartik100 account was created a few days ago and did enough throwaway edits to get themselves autoconfirmed, including one addition of. User:Carlon hunter then comes along and creates an exact duplicate of the Praneet Sah AfC. Kkartik100, now autoconfirmed, goes on dubious AfC review spree and moves the Sah AfC to article space and then notes that he is a "". I deleted the AfC/article at Praneet Sah so I can't provide diffs, but the deleted history shows the relation. To stop further gaming I protected both the article and the AfC.

The ducks and gaming the system are obvious so I blocked the accounts. Requesting confirmation, a check of sleepers since the autoconfirmation game is being played, and a check into blocking the previous CU result mention of the same IP for a longer time than the autoblock. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:37, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Seems to be related to incidents in archive. Attempts to pass through AFC same article, though now called Praneet sah (lowercase 's').
 * Edit wars at Online journalism in India to promote same individual.
 * Blanks ANI section.
 * Worth noticing, also, the 10 innocuous edits for autoconfirmed, before immediately "dealing with" the Praneet sah article.
