Suspected sockpuppets
If you look at the histories of the two new editors, similar interests, the sock created a UPE/COI article which was drafted, Siwi Boora, which the puppeteer swiftly returned to mainspace. Most likely a Paid Editor.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:24, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Should have added this one as well. Same concerns.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:25, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Merged both reports. : Feel free to add additional accounts to your open reports, especially if not much time has passed, and there was no substantial discussion yet. MarioGom (talk) 18:22, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Wasn't exactly sure if I was allowed to do that.  Will remember in the future.  Onel 5969  TT me 19:35, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * All geolocate to the same large region of a country. Not much else links them. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 00:48, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * would you give any higher confidence to a relation between and, ignoring Prakash? DatGuyTalkContribs 15:55, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * On second thought I think you can ignore this request, the more I look into this the bigger of a clusterfuck it becomes. DatGuyTalkContribs 16:11, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I would close this with no action. I can't see any behavioral pattern besides the sudden interest in Siwi Boora, which I don't find surprising given that her sister appears to have been in the news recently. I don't want to close this unilaterally given that you also looked at the behavior (and I'm still relatively new to the admin side of SPI). Do you see this any differently?

 * My take on this is that three mentioned here (and possibly some others) are a group of Indian friends with an interest in boxing, and that one of them is possibly related to Draft:Siwi Boora. Overlap, for instance, on SFI Rajasthan and Jat Gazette is too much to be coincidental, but in my opinion also not enough to indef on the spot. My preference would most likely be a canvassing warning for all involved. DatGuyTalkContribs 20:05, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I took another look, and I think you're quite right about your question above. I still don't see Prakash as related: I could drop a canvassing warning to Mahipal, which is the oldest account. Vanamonde (Talk) 20:56, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Closing without action. Feel free to report again if there is new evidence. MarioGom (talk) 22:32, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
