It appears our friend forgot which account he was logged into while making this edit, plus overlap and in particular restoring this edit Praxidicae (talk) 12:34, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Wikibooyy is obviously socky, and aligned with CheatBeat.Special:Contributions/WikiBooyy CheatBeat has the same pro-Baranwal anti-Agrawal focus as Raaj Tilak., and recreated Tilak's recently deleted page for Rajesh P Barnwal, as well as Draft:List of Baranwals which deals with unreferenced material as deleted at Baranwal ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 09:03, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

 * I wanted to report them as well, but saw this report. Their connection is also clear at Articles for deletion/Rajeev Barnwal & Articles for deletion/Rahul Aggarwal (2nd nomination). However, if doesn't mind, I would suggest adding  to the list. CheatBeat recreated Rajesh P Barnwal, identical to the deleted version by Barnwal.r. I would also suggest a CU check for sleepers (consedering the age of some of the involved accounts). --MrClog (talk) 00:31, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure, but ref here and here, I believe that "Raaj Tilak" is a different person, definitely a SPA, but not necessarily PAID (or specifically conflicted). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 01:16, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * CheatBeat created a page identical to the deleted version created by Barnwal.r; he also created the pretty long page in a matter of minutes. Clearly CheatBeat and Barnwal.r are the same people. (Also, considering you're OK with me requesting CU evidence, I added it to the case status.) MrClog (talk) 01:49, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, seems to have a new obvious sock called  a similar name to one of their blocked socks. Since starting editing they have carried out the same bizarre editing pattern of trying to delete every article about people with the surname Agarwal or similar diff, diff. They also removed a UPE tag from an article by Raaj Tilak diff,also managed to complete a GA review diff, and started an AFD with a rationale that was nothing to do with the article and had obviously been copy and pasted from an unrelated nomination by Bearcat, Articles for deletion/Reena Aggarwal regards Atlantic306 (talk) 23:39, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
