The case is. CU declined.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:47, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Unless there's something in his deleted contributions Dr. Muhammad Helal Uddin looks to be an innocent bystander. He created what is now Draft:Arif Hossain as a good faith attempt at an article about someone in the newspaper, and that's how he left it - Special:Permalink/923644468.

Arif2585 then came along over 3 months later and hijacked the draft, turning it into a vanity mashup Special:Permalink/939748469 featuring links to Elfin rules's edits and a chunk of code from 's user page, the admin who blocked Elfin rules. He then copied the mess to his sandbox.

Please check, and if you agree, indef Arif2585. Cabayi (talk) 10:52, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Agree with 's analysis to this point. Apart from the links in Draft:Arif Hossain, is there anything that connects Arif2585 to Elfin ruler? Anyway, indeffed as not here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:04, 15 February 2020 (UTC)


 * One of those links to Elfin rules' sandbox, to Special:Permalink/892136338, was deleted 3 months before Arif2585 arrived on the wiki. That's either super special skillz, or sockpuppetry. Anyway, nothing more to do. Closing. Cabayi (talk) 14:13, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

If you look at the userpage of, you will notice that it's an identical copy of User:Mustafejrumon/sandbox. That editor, plus others, were already mentioned in this case in Jan-Feb of 2020. I find it hard to believe that this newest account copying the obscure sandbox of another user, already under scrutiny in the past, is just coincidence. Suspect WP:DUCK; pinging per our recent discussion. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 12:46, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Looking through their deleted contribs, I've indeffed without needing to make a definitive finding of sockpuppetry, the attempted spamming was quite enough. Courcelles (talk) 13:24, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
