Obvious similarity of usernames. More importantly, Jafiey was extensively warned for creating the autobiographical article Draft:Jafiey yesterday. Today User:Jafied is created and immediatley recreates that draft with the exact same content. Clearly a sock intended to evade attention. Laplorfill (talk) 16:56, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

On Jawad Ali, Jafiey engaged in self-promotional article hijacking, and was blocked for it. Example diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jawad_Ali&oldid=1029420601

Two days later, the account Jafieyss is created, who creates a self promotional article about the same cricketeer named Jawad Ali, which fails AFC. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Jawad_Ali_(cricketer)&oldid=1030068058) Considering both the similarity of their usernames, and the fact that both articles share the exact same image, I think we can quite safely assume that it's a sock.

Editing similar promotional topics as Jafiey and their previous socks, such as Draft:Tariq Hameed Sulemani (Usersquare, draft created by Xamrian). This account was created one day after was blocked as a sock.

While who Xamrian is a sock of is not noted publicly, they were re-creating the exact same promotional content as Jafiey, see here). Checkuser requested to turn up any other potential socks, as it looks like this user has made plenty. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 22:39, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Also overlap on the eponymous Draft:Jafiey. Similar grammatical issues in their drafts. Blockable on behavioral evidence alone, but both as to Usersqure and as to Xamrian (who does not appear in the archive), to look for sleepers and keep the trail warm.  -- Tamzin  [cetacean needed] (she/they) 22:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
