This is either sockpuppetry or a collective that's involved in paid COI promotion, with even G4 tags being removed by one of the accounts, the article itself was re-created under the preposterous title of Ankit, Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir after the diligent salted Ankit Love which has twice been deleted via AfD. The other interests include other family members like Bhim Singh (politician), there's also Draft:Ankit Love. Anyone can just look at the refs and check on supported content to get an idea of this mess! I think there's more accounts active now, so bringing here. I also found a stale group at &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  07:47, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

 * CU confirms JuneKennedy and RajasthanSab as socks of your Professor. There may be more to see here, but I got to run off to class. Drmies (talk) 18:01, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * And the rest--and now also User:Stephen Nightingale. (User:Int Researcher is too old for CU, but you may want to look at that account behaviorally.) Drmies (talk) 20:26, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No doubt about the researcher but there are a lot of such stale socks including the original master (referenced above) but I'm not sure blocking them all now is worth an injury to the index finger, so I'll let them be unless another admin/clerk/CU would like to have specific ones blocked. I've blocked the master indef for promo/socking. Closing now. cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  02:26, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

I've seen this user popping up on and off on my watchlist. Now, I am beginning to think that this is a sleeper sock of Professor of Art, who was indefinitely blocked along with his socks last month, as a result of this SPI report. Aristotle was created in July last year, but subsequently became dormant and was reactivated a couple days ago. Since getting reactivated this month, he has made some 6 editsall to the same obscure articles that have to do with Ankit Love, namely to Bhim Singh (politician), One Love Party, and Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Partyto name a few. This obsession with Ankit Love is strikingly reminiscent of the master; see the following diffs as examples: (1, 2, 3). There are a few other similarities. For example, Aristotle uses the same style for formatting citations as master ( 1, 2). Aristotle also edits through VisualEditor, just like the master and past socks.

 * Yes, this user shows the same obsession with Ankit Love and Bhim Singh (politician) as the other socks. Indeed, his very first edit was to add Bhim Singh's name in an electoral page. We missed him then since he didn't make any direct edits to the person pages. He has rectified that deficiency now. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:43, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
