Pretty straightforward case, both User:Pbasista1220 and User:Prashantthesocialmediaexpert have edited what appears to be an autobiography of the editor at Prashant Basista and conducted COI editing on Afroz Shah. GPL93 (talk) 16:50, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Added another username to the report. Similar username (the same name used in the other accounts, Prashant Basista) and their contribs are nearly only to Afroz Shah, a page edited by all the other accounts here. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 18:51, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * requesting CU to check for sleepers. The oldest account Pbasista1220 was left unused until after one of the newer accounts, Prashantbasista, last edited. To me this indicates there may be more accounts created, but unused. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 19:02, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I also suspect that whoever controls Prashantthesocialmediaexpert is working for some kind of "improve your image on Wikipedia" company. This is because of Om maurya. Account with username similar to the name of the article creates it back in 2016. Prashantthesocialmediaexpert recreated it recently. To me this seems like employing someone to try again with the page (the username of the suspected sock including social media expert is a red flag for me), although this may not be the case. Bearing this also in mind, I feel that it makes it more likely for there to be sleepers. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 19:14, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

All these socks have tried to create a page for Prashant Basista (or Prashant basista), and now a brand-new account (well, one month old but created days after the previous CU blocks) does the same. Fram (talk) 08:38, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Note that User:Pbasista1220, User:Prashantbasista, User:Prashantthesocialmediaexpert, User:Abgram, User:Qwertjb, and now User:Edward5050 also all edited Afroz Shah, and the first five of those are confirmed socks of Pbasista. Fram (talk) 08:42, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

 * The account has already been spam-blocked, so I don't think we need to spend any further time on this case. I took a cursory look through the behavioral evidence, and it does seem quite suspicious. I'd say this is probably a sock. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 17:45, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
