Both users are editing the same/similar articles and uploading the same copyvio images. This may be a meatpuppet case, given the parallel histories of the accounts? – Train2104 (t • c) 11:29, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Bbb23, can I add new username(s) to this investigation? Or would I need to open a new SPI page?

Their only two edits so far are to Super_Kabaddi_League where all recent named-and-IP contributors have been checkuser blocked, and filing a request for page protection on that article. I am separately submitting this username at WP:UAA as a promotional/implied_shared_use name, but I figured it would be good to get this name included in this record of sockpuppet accounts.

Slightly older account, editing the same article, with an almost the identical username. Alsee (talk) 15:32, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Pakistan01 is a confirmed sockmaster, who has been using that account as well as their sock Karawood789 to promote an article on a new business venture, Super Kabaddi League. The IP 110.36.37.83 editing the article has already been checkuser blocked. (As far as I can tell, this league has yet organize even one game.) The recent history of the article is nothing but blocked accounts. Superkabaddileague and SuperKabaddi have been editing the same article, and their nearly identical account names themselves are patent evidence of they share a promotional purpose with either with Pakistan01 or with each other.

There are a small number of other contributors to that article, including two red names. My own estimation is that the other contributors probably aren't related. Alsee (talk) 16:55, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

 * For the named accounts, is the best I can give.  --  Amanda  (aka DQ) 16:20, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Blocked SuperKabaddi as either a sock or meatpuppet. Everything else is already blocked with various rationales. Closing. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:24, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
