Suspected sockpuppets
Proton Dental account was created on 9 May 2022 and Chagropango was created on 13 May 2022.

All three of them voted on Articles_for_deletion/Akash_Ambani_(2nd_nomination), as "Keep".

93.189.6.34 and Proton Dental both voted to "delete" on Articles for deletion/Vageshwari Deswal (2nd nomination).

While 93.189.6.34 was blocked as a proxy after a report was filed, it seems that Chagropango was used for this AfD as a substitute for this IP.

93.189.6.34 has been surely abused by Proton Dental and socking on "Akash Ambani (2nd nomination)" must have happened also because Chagropango has strong opinion about this subject.

When Proton Dental edits, Chagropango would not edit. From 8 July - 24 July, Chagropango made no edits, and this was the time when Proton Dental made most edits.

Both have similar style of indenting their !votes on AfDs with edit summary "reply". Georgethedragonslayer (talk) 11:48, 9 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Both haven't edited since SPI was filed. It seems to me that both are mostly likely created for sock puppetry in the future, to which they already resorted to. I think CU check would be enough to make decision whether they are related or not. Georgethedragonslayer (talk) 06:21, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

 * - I'm not seeing enough behavioral similarity between the two named accounts to justify CU. There's certainly some similiarity, but things like how you format AfD !votes could easily be explained by multiple people being drawn here from off-wiki and just mimicking what they see somebody else do.  On the other hand, I see some differences that make me think they're probably two different people. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:32, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Concur there's a number of behavioural differences which make me think these accounts aren't related. Closing without further action. --Jack Frost (talk) 01:46, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
