PushpaShivaram created the article Shelby Kutty and added a bunch of promotional language to it. After being warned about WP:PAID they ceased editing and Pedscards was created the next day to continue editing the Kutty article.

Neither account has ever edited any other article. On their talk page, Pedscards claimed to have created the article even though it was actually PushpaShivaram that did. When I put a COI tag on the article suddenly the PushpaShivaram which had been dormant for two years showed up to join in Pedscards to dispute it. Notfrompedro (talk) 12:31, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Now 158.93.6.11 has arrived to remove the COI tag and restore unreferenced material removed by two different editors. Notfrompedro (talk) 15:15, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

 * - Clearly UPE/COI/etc. Unclear if it's all the same person or several people chasing the same paycheck so asking for CU to see if they can tell.  The IP range has lots of legitimate-looking traffic on it, and appears to belong to a University, so blocking it would be ill-advised.  Instead, I've semi-protected Shelby Kutty for a while. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:39, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Abusive enough for indefs all around. Leaving the IPs alone per Roy. Blocked, tagged, closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 10:26, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
