HLCWiki created K.S Ramamurthy which I nominated for speedy deletion under A7. HLCWiki removed my speedy deletion tag, so I issed him a warning for removing a speedy tag from a page he created. Immediately after the warning was issued, a brand new SPA under the name KFIRE12341234 removed the tag. Seahorseruler (Talk Page) (Contribs) 09:19, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

OTRS has been contacted regarding this SPI with a claim that these are students working on a school project (ticket #2015091410016976). I'll ask the person contacting OTRS whether they agree with me publishing their mail here. To me the provided information seems genuine; I'd say, based on that information, that User:HLCWiki needs a username change per WP:ISU (or may even be a shared account), and that the others largely need education regarding the importance of reliable sources, of using drafts and WP:AFC, and on general wikiquette, but that they probably are not sockpuppets. The teachers should be pointed towards the Education Program and should be told not to send their students to Wikipedia without appropriate supervision; I rather don't think the people who assigned this school project were sufficiently familiar with Wikipedia to provide such supervision.

 * Blocked and tagged. I'm aware of the fact that Sajith devareddy is technically the oldest account but based on his one unintelligible (to me) edit to his sandbox six days after account creation, I'm unwilling to make him the master. I've reinstated the A7 tag at K.S Ramamurthy. I'll let another administrator decide whether to delete it. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
