Recreation of Jaan Nissar Lone. It was previously created by someone in this sockfarm and then by TavadiaP. After the AfC was declined multiple times TavadiaP requested G7 at Draft:Jaan Nissar Lone and then Aamirsaahil recreated it under Jaan nissar lone. GSS (talk |c|em ) 03:21, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for clarifying Bbb23. Actually, I added user "Jaan Nissar Lone" after realising that user Aamirsaahil was registered the same day you performed the CU at KM SPI, but I wasn't sure whether Aamirsaahil was registered before or after the check was completed so, I apologise if I missed something. GSS (talk |c|em ) 06:13, 15 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Update: User Jaan Nisar Lone recreated Draft:Rani Hazarika which was earlier created by Aamirsaahil and the draft was deleted on author's request same as Draft:Jaan Nissar Lone which TavadiaP requested for deletion and Aamirsaahil recreated. Smells like meatpuppetry? GSS (talk |c|em ) 14:11, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * since they are not technically connected but behaviorally they seem to have an off-wiki connection especially when it comes to recreating each-other deleted articles so is it possible to reopen the case? Thank you. GSS (talk |c|em ) 14:32, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

If I had found TavadiaP and Jaan Nissar Lone to be related to Farooqahmadbhat at Sockpuppet investigations/Kashmiri musician, I would have said so. This is not a criticism of as I can easily understand how confusing all this is. Aamirsaahil, otoh, is ✅, blocked and tagged. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

The suspected sock was registered yesterday and recreated their deleted page Draft:Jaan Nissar Lone with almost the same material. GSS (talk |c|em ) 15:04, 18 February 2019 (UTC)


 * as CU confirmed it's JNL, but per on their userpage, it doesn't sound like a good faith return. GSS  (talk |c|em ) 05:37, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

❌. Jenifer Intiha is ✅ to. Jaan Nissar Lone was soft-blocked. In the confusing back-and-forth between this case and Sockpuppet investigations/Kashmiri musician, I don't believe I've found any other user to be operated by Jaan Nissar Lone. If that's correct, Jenifer Intiha is not a sock. I will leave this case in checked status, as opposed to closing it with no action, in case someone tells me I'm wrong.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:41, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Did you check against  and ? If not, I think you should.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  10:44, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes (see the Kashmiri musician archive). JNL is unrelated to anyone except Jenifer Intiha.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:57, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Given the close geolocations between JNL/Jenifer Intiha and previous Farooqahmadbhat socks, and taking into account the almost word-for-word recreation of (confirmed Farooqahmadbhat sock) Aamirsaahil's content by Jenifer Intiha, I'm happy enough to make the assessment that these accounts are sockpuppets, and have blocked both.

Recreation of Draft:Jaan Nissar Lone - the one revision already had a fully formatted infobox, suggesting it was pasted in, and the user's fifth edit ever was to WP:Refund, suggesting that the user is familiar with wikipedia.

Yet another recreation of their favourite articles Jaan Nissar Lone, Draft:Tanveer Ghazi and Draft:Rani Hazarika. Photojournalistbychoice was registered today and uploaded File:Jaan Nissar Lone.jpg and claimed "", but in reality the image was published by the subject on their Facebook in June.

IRoyalYadav created Draft:Darshan Sankhala. Soon after they moved it into mainspace, a number of brand new accounts (the only-purpose) started editing the article in question. Here are more two accounts:
 * User:Luciferx0007
 * User:Kuchbhi 123


 * On 12 January 2020, User:Fridaykings created Draft:Darshan Sankhala


 * On 3 March 2020, User:Amitsharma211 created article Darshan Sankhala

I moved this article from draft to mainspace on the basis of WP:ANYBIO and GNG. Just after moving, some random Wikipedia editors have been following my trail and making random edits. I do not know how to stop them. I am never involved in such activities nor promoting these kind of acts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IRoyalYadav (talk • contribs) 18:38, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Possible duck registered on September 1st just two days after draft:Darshan Sankhala was deleted which was created by one of Farooqahmadbhat socks. They also created Desi Music Factory which was deleted on Augus 25th under G5 at draft:Desi Music Factory. <span style="font-family:monospace;font-weight:bold;font-size:16px;color:hsl(205, 98%, 55%);">GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 20:59, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

User:Harmonicasound, created 30 Nov 2022, messed about with their talk page a bit on 30 Nov. Made a few more edits April - Sept for autoconfirm, mostly reverted as unhelpful. Five hours ago, adds "Jaan Nissar Lone" unsourced to music credit of a film. Messes with their user and talk page a bit. Then recreates Jaan Nissar Lone at spammy Dr Jaan Nissar Lone, in one precocious dollop. Wikishovel (talk) 22:46, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
