Suspected sockpuppets

All three users tried to create the page Akash Nathsarkar ((A7-)deleted bios; latest version was more of a wiki-userpage, so I moved that back to userspace), as far as I can tell from their talkpages/contribs: Nagarukhra, Neo500, Glouvy. Nagarukhra and Glouvy have already been blocked in the past for sockpuppetry, but not via SPI. Since Neo500 has been editing while the other accounts are blocked, this clearly constitutes block evasion. HyperGaruda (talk) 07:43, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Behavioral. New editor reviving the now-deleted Nagarukhra article at Draft:Nagarukhra (Village) and attempting an edit request at Talk:Ukrah. Since 2016, Nagarukhra, and most recently blocked sock  have tried to replace Ukrah with Nagarukhra, a title that is now salted. • Gene93k (talk) 18:32, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

 * - yep; in addition to the page recreation, see the history of Talk:Ukrah which is largely a graveyard of Nagarukhra socks. There are also some accounts that were not blocked at the time but are clearly related based on the username . Please indef Wiki.starboy as a suspected sock of Nagarukhra.

Behavioral. Another attempt to remove the Indian village of Ukrah and re-creating the supposed city of Nagarukhra in its place. Account is yet a variation of star boy like other socks. Editor is also active in Commons and Wikidata. The Nagarukhra title had been salted, but a good faith move from Nagarukhra, West Bengal overrode that. • Gene93k (talk) 07:45, 25 January 2024 (UTC) • Gene93k (talk) 07:45, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged. Looks to me like was missed, but there's no point in blocking them as they haven't edited in three years. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 14:19, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
