I have to open this case since I don't have any choice. While patrolling new pages, I came across this article. Intially it failed our GNG so I nominated it for Afd. After nominating, the author contested and said he is closely related to the subject. I commented that it is a COI issue. Later one of the ip said she is notable and must not be deleted. Another ip provided some links to establish notability. Now Another new editor, with only 1 edit, added promotional materials in the article. Another new editor, added some sources in the article which matched with some of the references provided by one of the ip at the Afd. Again another new editor, added some more sources in the article. Now, another new editor, claims at Afd that she is Nisha JamVwal and asked me to do a google search and said she is notable in India. By this, it is pretty clear that they are trying to advertise about the subject. And the claim has given seems to me fake and I doubt all the above mentioned editors are sock. Although some of them are obvious Ducks. But I have doubt about. So, I request for a checkuser investigation. Thanks,  Jim Carter (from public cyber)  12:41, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
