Suspected sockpuppets

Edits are mostly to Padmanabh Singh, as are some older edits by other SPAs. Some have claimed in various places to be members of the article subject's staff, eg: here, while others just obviously are (eg: the IP who edited here minutes before Priyanshi10008 began editing). They've all been adding huge chunks of unsourced/badly sourced, fawning puffery to the article, eg:, , and.

has already blocked the suspected master and Priyanshi10008 but I think a CU sweep will be needed. Sitush (talk) 10:07, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

 * CU for the main account revealed nothing, and I am a bit loath to run it for the others. If their edits are bad, they don't need help getting blocked. Drmies (talk) 21:56, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Concur with Drmies. It is unlikely that any value will come from checkusering these accounts. It is quite possible that they are socks or meatpuppets (and could possibly be blocked as such), but at the end of the day the edits are likely sufficient to result in blocks.  I'm marking this one as declined.  Risker (talk) 02:30, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I blocked Rijusikri due to behavioral similarities. Ankit88kedawat is a bit more tenuous, so leaving that unblocked. I doubt the account will return to activity anyway. Closing. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:55, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
