 * Please make sure to nominate this user's creations for speedy deletion as well. I've done that. With that said, it looks like this user was flatly lying when they promised to stop socking at User talk:N R Pavan Kumar.--Jasper Deng (talk) 09:16, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I have been avoiding doing that, as nominating repeat creations like this before the user is blocked tends to be fairly futile, as they just keep removing the tags or recreating the page, so I've been letting SPI deal with them. And yeah, the old "doing/saying whatever seems like it'll get one what one wants"... Ugh. Yeryry (talk) 10:16, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

IPv6 kept blanking Pawan Kumar and replacing it with content about the same guy he's been promoting for months. I wouldn't have known it was part of an SPI case, but when I went to suggest he start an article at Draft:Pawan Kumar (film actor) (based on this iteration,) that's when I noticed there was a widespread protect on article creation. Anyway, I've blocked the IP for a week. I'm going to extend the page protect of Pawan Kumar to a month or two. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:55, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
