Suspected sockpuppets
These two accounts are already blocked now by, but it has been highly suspected that these accounts are sockpuppets of Pitarobertz, by anon editor 2A00:23EE:19C8:BA81:48C:2DFF:FEC5:9914 (though meatpuppetry has also been suggested by a different user, ).

Involved page:

The evidence (as stated by the IP editor above) is as follows:

Shortly after the creation of the Rodagonda account, it went and repeatedly removed (edit warred over) G4 CSD tags from the now-deleted article Savitha Nambrath: diffs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The real convincing part here is that the last three edits were made soon after Pitarobertz removed a salting request template: diff.

This is all followed by Peacehridhaan also removing speedy deletion tags: 1, 2.

See also this ANEW report, as well as this AN thread.

Maybe Checkuser evidence could find out whether this is sockpuppetry, or meatpuppetry. — AP 499D25  (talk)  23:47, 21 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Here's a timeline of events from the page and user account logs, as well as evidence according to the ANEW report:
 * 14 July 2023, 14:13 UTC – Savitha Nambrath was deleted after this AfD. Article was initially created by Pitarobertz in Sep 2018.
 * 20 July 2023 UTC:
 * 10:19 – article recreated by Pitarobertz
 * 11:18 or before – page nominated for speedy deletion G4 by 2A00:23EE:1658:441A:68F1:B3FF:FE7A:B9B
 * 12:33 – User account Rodagonda created
 * 12:38 – CSD tag removed by Rodagonda the 1st time
 * 12:41 – CSD tag removed by Rodagonda the 2nd time
 * 12:44 – CSD tag removed by Rodagonda the 3rd time
 * 12:49 – CSD tag removed by Rodagonda the 4th time
 * 21 July 2023 UTC:
 * 02:02 – Page deleted under G4
 * 05:00 – article recreated for the 2nd time by Pitarobertz
 * 05:43 or before – page nominated for speedy deletion G4 by 2A00:23EE:19C8:BA81:48C:2DFF:FEC5:9914
 * Before 11:16 – CSD tags removed a further three times by Rodagonda, following a removal of the salt request tag by Pitarobertz
 * 11:36 – User account Peacehridhaan created
 * Before 11:49 – CSD tags removed another two times by Peacehridhaan
 * 12:18–12:19 – Page deleted under G4 and salted
 * That's all the info I can find, since the page has been deleted, meaning I, like any other non-administrator, cannot view the history of the page.
 * I've noticed there are also warnings on the sockmaster's talk page about the removal of speedy deletion templates. But I'm not sure if the sockmaster also removed the tags and the warnings are aimed at them, or the warnings are aimed at the sockpuppets. Maybe the 2A00:23EE:1658:441A:68F1:B3FF:FE7A:B9B IP user can explain this? — AP 499D25  (talk)  01:46, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you AP 499D25 for starting this SPI. Pitarobertz didn't remove speedy tags either time, just the salt tag on second creation, and I was warning the master about the actions of the then only sock, Rodagonda.

Worth noting:
 * Peacehridhaan's first removal of the G4 tag was at 11:38, two minutes after account creation,
 * Rodagonda's first edit summary, five minutes after account creation, was something along the lines of "I just happened to come here looking for information on Savitha Nambrath, and found the article was being deleted".

Neither of these rules out meatpuppetry, as you note above. 2A00:23EE:19C8:BA81:48C:2DFF:FEC5:9914 (talk) 06:54, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
