Suspected sockpuppets
On first edit, Johnking121 created Shaneel Lal and has almost exclusively edited this page (acceptable)

However, Simplysimone's first edit was to revert another editor on Shaneel Lal, a very unusual edit for a first time editor. Simplysimone has nearly exclusively edited this page.

Both often unjustifiably revert other user's improvements to the page with no explanation, expressed by editors here and here, and shown in the edit history for Johnking121 and Simplysimone, and here. Both often provide no reason for reverting.

They both edited two other niche pages.

Both attempted to add Shaneel Lal as a notable alumni of Otahuhu College on two occasions here and here.

Both users add detail that is excessive, or sometimes loosely related to the subject of the WP:BLP but which isn't relevant (or relies on Lal's own columns as evidence for notability). For example, these edits from Johnking121 here, here and here, and edits from Simplysimone here and here.
