SamrudhiMadgaonkar created Rolta, which was chock-full of copyrighted material. They removed the revdel template. Forty-five minutes later, the alleged master comes out of their 17-month retirement and begins editing the same article, removes the revdel template, and then creates two articles related to the firm that later get G11'd. The timing and similar interest seems really fishy to me. GABgab 23:17, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

 * - Endorsing my own request. Thanks, GABgab 23:18, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * This promotion of Rolta goes back many years with different permutations of the name.
 * The following accounts are ✅ to each other but may also be meat puppets:

 * This is a tricky one. Group 1 appears to be the same person, behaviorally; there are mixed signs, but on balance, it leans towards connection. There is clearly a link between the two groups, based on this and this. But since it doesn't appear to be as behaviorally solid, I concur with the finding of meatpuppetry. Closing; tags will be applied shortly. GABgab 15:35, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, in the immortal words of Anakin Skywalker, "this is where the fun begins." Days ago, Jovian 13 created Awfis, but this was deleted as promotion (as it had been 2 days before that - when it was created by and in their sandbox). Just today,  created a remarkably similar version of the same page. : Please check these new accounts against the existing groups, and for other socks. Thanks again, GABgab 15:46, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

More copyvios and promotional shenanigans on Rolta, just as before. Pinging, , , , because the technical data will go stale soon. Thanks, GABgab 15:25, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

 * - Please compare to the archived socks. Thanks, GABgab 15:26, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * None of the archived socks are recent enough to be checked (the last confirmed batch were blocked in May). These two accounts are a match to one another, from a technical perspective. Yunshui 雲 水  15:31, 30 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Forgive me if I'm missing something, but doesn't appear to be stale. Thanks again,  GABgab 15:36, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Whoops, don't know how I missed that. Based on Glinfy's data, these two are also to be Knikhil21 socks. Yunshui 雲 水  15:38, 30 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks - both as proven, given the technical results and obvious behavior. GABgab 15:42, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
