Suspected sockpuppets
User:Unionrow (talk | contribs) and User:175.39.217.36 (talk | contribs) - Interaction Timeline and vs  proves IP belongs to Unionrow. Roy sikh was banned on 5 January 2024 and 10 days later Unionrow pops up with their first edit being a AfD nomination which clearly shows that they have had previous experience editing Wikipedia. Unionrow is either a different person coordinating with Dev Mahey or the same guy on 2 devices. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 05:51, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * User:Roy sikh (talk | contribs) and User:175.39.217.36 (User:Unionrow) (talk | contribs) - Interaction Timeline
 * Dev Mahey has a history of adding caste/ sect names to BLPs and have been warned for the same multiple times (Unsourced or misleading sources). Similar actions by Unionrow here.
 * WP:MEATPUPPET: Dev Mahey created Tej Ram Bagha around 30 April 2023 which was draftified. Unionrow recreated the same yesterday
 * WP:MEATPUPPET: 175.39.217.36 edits on Dev Mahey's draft 3 hours after Draft:Ramesh Chander (diplomat) was created. Similar instance on Ashok Attri (diplomat)
 * WP:LOGOUT On 5 January 2024, I removed the unsourced caste mentions on BLPs added by Dev Mahey in Chaman Lal (politician), Mohinder Kaur Midha, Neetu Badhan Smith, Bishan Dass and Ram Parkash Lakha. All of those were reverted by 175.39.217.36 which clearly indicates that Dev Mahey edited while logged out. Can be seen from 175.39.217.36 (contribs) edit summaries.
 * Case should be cross checked with accounts on Sockpuppet investigations/Thakor Sumant Sinhji Jhala.

 * - Please, compare the three named accounts.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  09:24, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * - is ✅ to . Roy sikh appears to be ❌, as far as I can tell - different continent.  From a quick look, I don't see any compelling links to historic data on the Thakor Sumant Sinhji Jhala case - I guess Roy sikh is maybe possible, in the sense of coming from the same very large country, but nothing more than that. No comment on the IP. I'm indeffing the confirmed accounts, will leave this open in case you think any further action is warranted.   Girth Summit  (blether)  14:35, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Roy sikh is already indeffed and the IP is inactive. Closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  14:30, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
