I came across these via a speedy deletion where noted that there were several accounts trying to create articles for the same persons. The page in question was Aala(poet) and was created by Andalvaigarai. The article's talk page was edited by Maiyanbu, who added the article's content to the talk page. Maiyanbu also removed the speedy deletion notice from Aala poet's page with this edit.

Maiyanbu also created Aala, where it was edited by Andalvaigarai, who removed the speedy tags. The content on this article was identical to the one created by Andalvaigarai. Finally Aala poet created Maiyanbu, which is about a separate person - however the name of the person matches up with Maiyanbu's name and Maiyanbu did make edits to Aala poet's talk page. When the Maiyanbu page was put up for speedy Aala tried to contest the deletion by posting article content to the talk page, same as with the other accounts.

The editing styles are fairly similar, especially with the tendency to post article content to user pages. Most of this has been speedied, but all seem to have been active fairly recently. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:31, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * This looks like it's possibly meatpuppetry, given the comment here by JamesG5, saying that it looks like Aala is the son of Maiyanbu. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:33, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
