Suspected sockpuppets
Here, BigGenie writes "I has put all the reference for his previous work and its references, but it was removed saying it was a looking like a CV page", which must be a reference to 's cleanup. That material was added by Hitoodesai, not BigGenie. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:27, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * ✅. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 20:35, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Based on the comment I am following this page and even editing it.. I was not the creator. at the teahouse this is a deliberate attempt to use multiple accounts in a way that suggests it's two different people. As such indefs for both.

Manu Kumar Srivastava, Hitoodesai edits until capable of moving to article space, then BigGenie takes over and starts removing maintenance tags. At teahouse BG first said they'd created the article, then said they hadn't. I think if not sock it's meat, maybe two emplolees both working for the article subject.

 * Whoops, sorry, didn't see there was already one open. Valereee (talk) 12:12, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, Good Grief: Special:Permalink/1114621452. On BG's page, from Hitoo: Yes it was made but have stopped using it. Valereee (talk) 12:20, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * And still using it at commons: here. Valereee (talk) 13:38, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * And yet BigGenie denies being the article creator (which was Hitoodesai) here. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:51, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Immediately opposing at Articles for deletion/Manu Kumar Srivastava, an obscure recent article created by Hitoodesai. I think this must be sockpuppetry for block evasion. Valereee (talk) 23:25, 13 October 2022 (UTC) Valereee (talk) 23:25, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Another user admitted to accidentally editing logged out at the AfD; the English fluency and propensity to discuss things on talk pages is also at odds with the supposed master. I would take no action here. Vanamonde (Talk) 05:16, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The new version of the article is sufficiently similar to the deleted one that, together with the history of sockpuppets, I believe this probably is another sockpuppet. However, it isn't 100% obvious, so a CU would be welcome. JBW (talk) 21:17, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * From a CU perspective, this is no more than . The old accounts are stale, comparing this account to data in the CU logs puts them in the same large country, but there's nothing else to go on - any block would need to be based on behaviour. Girth Summit  (blether)  15:43, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * In light of the WP:SPA nature of the account and the intense interest in this subject from past socks, I think there is enough evidence to block Govsub as a suspected sock. Closing, Spicy (talk) 15:47, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
