Suspected sockpuppets
At 15:42, on 2 February 2024 I started Articles for deletion/Rajendra Pangeni, concerning an autobiography created last November by User:Rajendrapppangeni. At 04:19, 3 February, Dinpandey, a new account edited the biography, and at 06:47, edited the AfD. Likewise, Fekudinesh, another newly-created account edited the biography at 06:38, 3 February, and the AfD at 06:44. An IP (User:2600:1700:1DCA:8080:9509:CAEA:F9DA:DBAC) likewise has edited both the article and the AfD, though I'm prepared to accept that this could have been User:Rajendrapppangeni accidentally editing logged out. Given the short time between the AfD starting and these responses however, and the fact that all have responded in a very similar manner - making edits that didn't substantively address the notability issues raised at the AfD, and making comments in the AfD that suggest that all three have a similar misunderstanding ow Wikipedia notability requirements - it seems very likely to me that their is either sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry involved, and the short timescale very much supports the former.
