Both of these accounts seem to be fixated on tag-team performing the same edits to CarryMinati, the history of which is clogged with obvious UPE sock edits. jp×g 03:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

I have created an ANI report, Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents – I hadn't seen this SPI when I posted there. FWIW, I don't think this is the same user but I'm convinced that they are collaborating, and that they are paid to promote CarryMinati. --bonadea contributions talk 10:12, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Similar geolocation, but they're on clearly different devices that I find unlikely one person would own. I suspect its probably just coincidence given the popularity of the articles they're editing. Could also be meat, but they're not being disruptive enough for me to block.

 * , "unlikely one person would own", hmmm? Sounds like one running MacOS and the other running WIndows :-) -- RoySmith (talk) 16:40, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the chuckle. I'll have you know that I am then one of those ones that appears impossible to exist . My bots are all linux or mac ran and my "editing" alternates hehe -- The SandDoctor Talk 22:14, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Linux and mac mix just fine. I'm strictly a "linux for servers, and Mac on the desktop" kind of guy.  But, it's a strange bird indeed that mixes windows and mac. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:32, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I hate to disappoint, but I use all 3...laptop is a mac and desktop a PC hehe. -- The SandDoctor Talk 04:07, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Closing without further action - there's not enough to go on to confirm the socking angle one way or the other, but both accounts already blocked by Bishonen for disruption.  Girth Summit  (blether)  14:23, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Another SPA only concerned with promoting CarryMinati, created a few days after and  were blocked, and a few hours after U.G sam's unblock request was declined.

In the exact same way as Krish121 and U.G sam, Ramesh012 has denied being paid to edit, and the article does see quite a bit of drive-by spamming from users who are probably enthusiastic fans. At this point, AGF is starting to be strained, however: Ramesh012 is repeatedly posting promotional text and promo-spam references, and it is obvious that they have no interest in anything except promoting the artist and his songs. See e.g., , ; and compare this and this with this. Ramesh012 has made four or five edits not related to CarryMinati, but at least a couple of them are to articles about other artists represented by One Digital Entertainment – see this for some background. bonadea contributions talk 16:54, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
