Suspected sockpuppets
The first edit User:Razieh Janbaz Made that I can see (it looks like they tried to create a userpage that was deleted) was to dispute the Speedy deletion of Hamed Shirbeygi. This individual also removed the articles for deletion template from another article that User:Hojjathassanpourvip created, Hamed Mirani. Finally they both have been using "(Admin)" in their edit summaries as can be seen here and here. VViking Talk Edits 15:07, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Individual is now continuing with the exact same vandalism while logged out. Note that they are still using 'Admin' as the edit summary and still removing the AfD from the same two articles. Semi-protection requested for Hamed Mirani, Hamed Shirbeygi Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:55, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Continued block evasion. Still removing AfD from Hamed Mirani and from Hamed Shirbeygi following semi-protect expiring. Also adding an image to Moslem Mojademi, which all prior socks did. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 12:48, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

 * This is obviously the same person. In fact I have found 8 IP addresses in the range 5.123.0.0 - 5.124.255.255 which are clearly this person, and there may be more. This is far too big a range to consider a total block, but I have imposed partial blocks on the ranges 5.123.0.0/16 & 5.124.0.0/16, covering the articles that the IP addreses and the sockpuppet account have edited. (If I have missed any then please let me know.) Perhaps it would be worthwhile to extend the block to pages edited by the master but not yet as far as I know by sockpuppets, but I haven't done that.

 * I have now seen one edit from this person using the IP address 5.214.127.202, so I have blocked 5.214.127.0/24 from the same articles. However, if more IP addresses turn up, it may be necessary to semi-protect the articles. JBW (talk) 22:25, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Clear sockpuppetry. Their article at Draft:Hamed Mirani uses the exact same sources that were discussed at Articles for deletion/Hamed Mirani. Another giveaway is that this version of the draft shows that the access dates were all from 9th Feb so clearly this sockpuppet has just copied and pasted the exact same sources that they used before.
