The suspected sock was registered a day after File:Bhawna Dehariya Mount Everest Summit Photo.jpg was uploaded by the master and created Draft:Bhawna Dehariya after Draft:Mountaineer Bhawna Dehariya was deleted. The master was blocked by for undisclosed paid editing and the suspected sock is also creating the same kind of promotional articles. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 15:40, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

The suspected sock was registered in 2019, their last edit was in June (the same month Mahim6785 and sock were blocked) returned today to repost Bhawna Dehariya previously created by Mahim6785 sock in draftspace. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 09:49, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * since they made very few edits I can't find more evidence, but this user also created Prometheus School previously created by who was blocked for advertising. To me it sounds like Sunita.william was a sleeper account that they reactivated to post their deleted page and went silent again. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 20:44, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

 * - Endorsing for a sleeper check (this account was dormant since June suggesting that there may be more dormant accounts). There is one non-stale account in the archives to check against. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 11:18, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * geolocation data is bad. Sunita.william is ✅ to, but that isn't WP:ILLEGIT unless Sunita.william is actually Mahim6785 so I'm not yet blocking. (Abish sharma will have to be blocked if Sunita.william is blocked, though.) Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 00:38, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * do you have any further evidence related to this case. I'm unsure what the best action to take is here. I see similarities and I also don't. If you have any further evidence that would be helpful (please email me if you have private evidence). Admins can compare Draft:Mountaineer Bhawna Dehariya and Bhawna Dehariya if they want to add further input. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 15:05, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I've asked two questions on their talk page. If they don't get back soon, I'll leave this to another clerk / admin to review and action (close or block) as appropriate. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 10:13, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm going to leave this to someone else. The reason I'm reluctant to close is because of Abish sharma being confirmed, against, the draft and article not really being similar. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 18:38, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * As suggested, I looked at Bhawna Dehariya and Draft:Mountaineer Bhawna Dehariya. Based on the widely varying use of English grammar and diction, they are clearly written by different people.  Undoubtedly UPE, working off the same outline, but not the same person. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:11, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
