User:Mr. Faiyaz Khalid's early edits at the start of October involved creating an autobiography of themselves (a non-notable law student) at Faiyaz Khalid, which was repeatedly deleted. Alongside a few good faith edits to other articles, they also made a WP:FAKEARTICLE userpage (sometimes with a false "Faiyaz Khalid redirects here" hatnote or fake move-protection template) which was either speedy deleted or tagged as a userpage a few times, before being restored by the user each time.

On the 24th, a week-old account with a misleading username, User:Most Senior Editor, wikilinked Khalid's user page as a see-also or disambiguation link from the Khalid, Faiyaz Koya and Faiyaz Khan articles, piping it to look like a real article. The next day, User:Mr. Faiyaz Khalid readded the same link to the Khalid article.

User:Most Senior Editor has also removed a speedy deletion template from User:Mr. Faiyaz Khalid's user page, and blanked Khalid's talk page. Most Senior Editor has also edited Lloyd Law College, the college Khalid is studying at. Both users' edits overlap by a period of a week. McGeddon (talk) 09:18, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅, blocked, and tagged:
 * There are a few other accounts that are ✅ to the above group but are behaviorally unrelated except they edit about subjects in the state of Uttar Pradesh. These accounts create vanity articles about subjects that match their usernames, often, although not always, like Faiyaz Khalid, on their userpages.

Clear block evasion, recreating the same fake-article user page that was previously at User:Mr. Faiyaz Khalid. McGeddon (talk) 18:33, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
