Major effort to get an article created about Rajesh Bhola, primarily accomplished by throwaways. We have Rabhola, the first named editor to contribute to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dr. Rajesh Bhola. This was declined on Jan 19, but he returned on Mar 29 to insert an image into the closely related piece, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Rajesh Bhola (note the absence of "Dr."). The creation of this later piece was the sole work of Bratyouth, and is also the sole interest of Shale123. Plosoren, Cantsco, and Lanebard showed up only to vote "keep" at the AFD of an article that eventually got created.

I'm particularly interested in Ontdoet, because that account was created after I issued a softblock against 117.198.128.0/20 in an effort to put an end to this. If that range was wrong, the block should be lifted. If it was insufficient, it needs to be expanded. The investigation of that rangeblock is my reason for requesting Checkuser. &mdash;Kww(talk) 23:03, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Bratyouth is . Rangeblocks are going to be hard as this person has access to one very dynamic ISP, and access to a second, and range checks are not going to help because the useragent is changing.
