User:Fazil casim, User:Raajeev sendhil, User:Divya shaastri and User:Wiswiped are solely created for editing/creating article Pugazh (actor) which has already deleted as per deletion discussion here. It seems like User:Fazil casim, User:DareshMohan, User:Divya shaastri, User:Wiswiped, User:Raajeev sendhil and User:Editiors are the the same accounts. User:Editiors has already blocked for his disruptive editing. DMySon (talk) 03:34, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Editiors was blocked by User:Widr recently for recreating a deleted article (deleted via AfD) and massive canvassing, now these brand new SPAs are using their exact words, on the same article Draft:Pugazh (actor), to contest speedy deletion of the recreated article. I've moved it to draftspace for now, but it can be deleted. They were also attempting to remove the templates from Editiors userpage, probably thinking that it would unblock them?

 * By the way I was unaware of the prior report above. &#32;Mako001 (talk) 11:41, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * For the record, I can see no evidence at all that User:DareshMohan is a sockpuppet, or a sockpuppeteer. To the contrary, I can see a vast amount of evidence that they are absolutely not a sockpuppet, and are simply an editor from India who happened to edit the Pugazh article while it was in mainspace, which seems quite typical for their area of interest. Might I suggest that they be removed from the SPI? Mako001 (C) (T) (The Alternate Mako) 02:57, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I would like to see them included as they look like a sockpuppet to me. If not in this group then perhaps who was a sockpuppet of  an undeclared paid editor, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:14, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You may want to give more evidence of the connection, as I can't really see it (probably because I haven't got much experience with topics from India and the surrounding area), and the clerks may not see it either. To the clerks: Can we split DareshMohan off, and move them to another SPI? Since they don't seem to be connected to these, but according to Atlantic306 they may be connected to someone else?

 * As far as the technical data goes, these form two groups. Group 1 is, , and . Group 2 is , , , , and .  They're all   to each other, but a little closer within each group (Editiors is in both groups).  They're all on the same IP range with similar UAs, but it's a wide range and common UAs so I can't say more than likely.  As far as  and , they appear to be long stale so I didn't check them  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:46, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Coming back to look at this again, I'm blocking the 6 accounts I called likely as suspected socks of Editiors, and leaving all the others alone. -- RoySmith (talk) 04:53, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
