Close username connected to subject. Close edits. Ojukwu754272 voted in the AfD, and OjukwuManager tried to remove the AfD notice with the same "celebrity" rationale as the vote. Also identical edit summary "Keep", which no prior voter used, in AfD. Same signature style. Mvqr (talk) 13:59, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

EYZF created the dubious article Ulugbekhon, which has been repeatedly recreated and salted at various titles including Ulugbekhon Maksumov, Ulugbekhon Yusuphonovich Maksumov, and Draft:Ulugbekhon Maksumov. SPAs Foodei564 and Kgbrrb54 showed up to vote keep on the article. It's worth noting that Draft:Ulugbekhon Maksumov is almost identical to the article by EYZF and was created by Sockpuppet investigations/Gabriel601. Foodei654 also created an article about African Food Network, which is owned by Kevin Eze, while Gabriel601 tried to create an article on Kevin Eze. However, it's not clear to me whether the accounts listed are socks of Gabriel601 or a different UPE group with some of the same clients. Spicy (talk) 18:24, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

 * - for confirmation, comparison to Gabriel601 & to check for other accounts given the apparent UPE activity. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 18:25, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

 * All three are ✅, but it's a relatively common UA in a country where the IP infrastructure makes it difficult to be confident about sock confirmations. Based on the checks I just did plus some notes we have on Gabriel601, it's  to be the same actor, but subject to the same caveats.   you worked on Gabriel601 so just a heads up about this one.  -- RoySmith (talk) 19:07, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
 * - please indef the listed accounts as sockpuppets of Gabriel601 (without tags for now as the case will have to be merged). Thanks, Spicy (talk) 17:36, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Blocked as requested. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:54, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * thanks, but you missed EZYF :) - please merge to Sockpuppet investigations/Gabriel601. Spicy (talk) 18:00, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Dooh! OK, picked up the spare. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:01, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Merged, tagged, closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 23:58, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
