Clearly their editing pattern on Faisal Shaikh (TikTok). The master also tried to remove WP:AFD notices. Additionaly, the editor has a clear WP:COI also evident from here ~ Amkgp  💬  07:49, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Added IP accounts with similar editing pattern during same range of dates. An attempt to remove parts of this WP:SPI notice was done. See here ~ Amkgp  💬  07:53, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , Yes it is very difficult to say about the IP addresses for me but I highly suspect User:Anarulkhaled a sock-puppet of User:Harisrahmandz. I will certainly report if I find any new evidences ~ Amkgp  💬  14:10, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

 * The article has been edited by a number of single-purpose accounts and IP addresses, including the ones you have listed. Harisrahmandz has stated that he is the subject of the articles. The others may be sockpuppets or meatpuppets, but it's also perfectly possible that they are separate fans here to promote their idol. For now I am leaving this investigation open to give you a chance to provide specific evidence of sockpuppetry, but unless you can come up with something much more specific than just "Clearly their editing pattern", with no further explanation, it is likely to be closed without action quite soon.

 * Agreed with JBW - I don't see compelling behavioral overlap between Harisrahmandz and Anarulkhaled (and the IPs) and this can probably be explained by a wave of fans showing up to change things. I note that the IPs cover two separate ISPs as well and some of the IP edits seem to be working against Harisrahmandz (e.g. a named account set a nickname to one thing and an IP set it to something else). I will semi-protect the page for now but will not take any SPI action. GeneralNotability (talk) 16:20, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
