Suspected sockpuppets

The main user has been seeking to place an autobiographical article Dev Dhawal, previously speedy-deleted as an A7. In the case of the most recent version, the CSD A7 template was twice removed, reinstated and the user warned. User:Dev Dhawal then overwrote the Talk page and warnings with a version of the article itself. The User:Hemraj Chan account then appeared and made a first contribution of removing the CSD template again. Subsequently that second account has followed the same behaviour pattern and overwritten the first user's Talk page with a version of the article. Hence there appears to be both tandem activity aiming to thwart the speedy-deletion process and co-sharing the main user's Talk page as an alternative article repository.

 * Supplement: Since sending both users initial pointers to the WP:SOCK policy, a comment has been added to my user page which indicates both accounts would probably be found to originate from the same place: "we use official laptop due to electricity problem, never got SOCK." .

 * Well I blocked Dev Dhawal for 31 hours and Hemraj Chan and indefinite. I see you have a much better collection of icons to use than the ones over at WP:RFPP. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:47, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
