master and Moxwikip socking over at Draft:Ganpat Banthia (concern expressed but the accounts weren't blocked at the time) (a now deleted promotional draft) back in May, then a brand new account (Chimox1278) went to WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk over the draft, then went quite for 6 months before creating Draft:Digital Marwar also edited by MOX RATHORE and another new account Digital Marwar (blocked for username). Note also master edited both User talk:Moxwikip and User talk:Chimox1278, in a way admitting to sockpuppetry. WP:DUCK, obvious sock is obvious. Lavalizard101 (talk) 12:24, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Pinging who blocked Digital Marwar for username for their opinion. Lavalizard101 (talk) 12:28, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Pinging who was the one who noted the original concern of sockpuppetry on the talk pages of MOX RATHORE, Moxwikip and Chimox1278 and deleted the draft. Lavalizard101 (talk) 17:56, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't remember this at all, probably I checked "what links here" for Draft talk:Ganpat Banthia which was left over after another admin deleted the draft. It's obvious none of those accounts have been used for anything other than trying to get a website listed on Wikipedia.  – Athaenara  ✉  18:56, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Between the overlap on Draft:Digital Marwar, the "Mox" usernames, and commenting on each other's talk pages, it's pretty obvious that these are the same person (or at least the same spam operation). - please indef the unblocked accounts, and upgrade Digital Marwar's block to a hard block.

Both users have identical usernames, and Moxrathorebalotra seems to share a similar interest in creating Wikipedia pages about local news websites, just like master MOX RATHORE. Moxrathorebalotra created master MOX RATHORE's userpage on Hindi Wikipedia and left a comment on their talk page. Additionally, master MOX RATHORE was globally locked for spreading similar spam.

Roxblt was created on 9 September, and within five minutes of creating the account, they expressed support for keeping the article in this AfD, similar to what Moxrathorebalotra did. Roxblt's username also bears some similarities to Moxrathorebalotra's username.  𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛  𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜  04:14, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
