Both users are currently wreaking havoc at Nithin Kamath and Rajdeep Bijarniya and are coordinating in creating hoax articles and then removing CSD tags. There may well be others but these two are fairly blatantly the same person. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 14:05, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

 * - I've indef blocked both accounts for DE - creating multiple pages about the same A7 subject, and trying to hijack another (very similar) page. Definitely sock or UPE meat, worth checking for sleepers.  Girth Summit  (blether)  15:50, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. . Bagging and tagging as sock users. This SPI can be closed...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   21:55, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Names very similar. User:Ritikskr141 created Draft:Bijarniya 2 (at Bijarniya), which is the same article as Draft:Bijarniya created two weeks ago by User:Rudra Choudhary. The new sock also edited that previous draft. Sockmaster, previous sock and new editor are all very active on Palsana, Rajasthan as well. Fram (talk) 09:36, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

 * The only thing that's odd here is that unique amongst the other users, Ritikskr141 is the only one who has never edited on mobile. But, everything else lines up, so calling both of these proven with the "likely" from CU. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:59, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

UPE and/or sockpuppet recreated salted article Nithin Kamath under a different title at Nithin kamath. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 13:36, 9 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I only created the article for Nithin kamath as he is a notable entity here in India and it was surprising not to see anything about him on Wikipedia. I had no other intention in my mind. Himalayan7914 (talk) 04:36, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That’s unlikely because the article Nithin Kamath (with uppercase K) was subject to LTA and was deleted three years ago at Articles for deletion/Nithin Kamath and its deletion log is clearly visible on the page. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 11:28, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The newly written article follows all Wikipedia guidelines and it is properly sourced. Then what's the issue? Also, what makes you think that I am a sockpuppet of Rajesh121skr? Just because I created an article which was previously created by him? Can't be an evidence to declare someone sockpuppet. Himalayan7914 (talk) 13:46, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are an unaffiliated editor, why is it that you created the page under the title Nithin kamath (with lowercase k) knowing that the page with the correct capitalization (with uppercase K) was subject to LTA and deletion? Moreover, if you are being paid to contribute to the page and/or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, you must disclose your connections. Your contribution to the page ShareChat suggests that you are being paid to edit Wikipedia, and it's also likely that you have been compensated for your edits to Nithin Kamath.

 * This new account's IPs put them in the same country as the previous account, but it's a big country and it's a different part of it. The article is not similar enough to the previous one to confirm a connection; this could be a different UPE editor working for the same client, or it could be entirely innocent, but there doesn't seem to be enough evidence of socking for me to act on here.
