Two new single-purpose accounts advancing hollow arguments in the Lucky commando films AFD using similar language. ,  There are a few other suspicious participants in the AfD, but more likely WP:MEAT or off-wiki soliciting for those. OhNo itsJamie Talk 13:40, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Pretty obvious WP:DUCK. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:56, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Closing without action. They haven't edited again. Probably just off-wiki canvassing. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 17:12, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Lucky Bisht (2nd nomination) is the same-old same-old as Articles for deletion/Lucky commando films from last year. Once may be a coincidence, but twice is quite clearly connected. Their userpages are all "I love Wikipedia" or other similar platitudes. The designated master, Powerfultample, has a series of useless edits obviously meant to WP:GAME ECP. This gaming behavior is replicated with Ppp and Jiasally. In fact, the latter, who also participated in the AfD from last year, came off of a year and a half hiatus to make the same kind of minor edit just a few minutes after Ppp. Also notice how all the accounts edit in the same time range, but never at the same time.

Once can be a coincidence, twice is a trend and it is disruptive at this point. I think there is a greater master, but I can't quite point out who; is a clear contender, as they originally created Lucky Bisht back in 2018, before it was deleted at AfD, and they are blocked in part for socking. There is a GermanKity connection (note how and Jogenderrautela use the same exact wording here and ), and it is in the same general topic area as GK socks, but this may be a true coincidence.

all have almost identical userpages "I love Wikipedia" with edits solely or mostly on the page for Lucky Bisht. All have used a similar wording/nearly identical wording when commenting on the AfD page for the Bisht article. Oaktree b (talk) 19:33, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Same pattern as the other socks. De-linking of redlinks to game autoconfirmed and then participating in WP:Articles for deletion/Lucky Bisht (2nd nomination). Their userpage also has the same platitudes as the other socks, stating "". Curbon7 (talk) 02:52, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
