This is related to the disruption at Articles for deletion/Rt Rana and the resultant thread currently at AN. I believe that all these accounts are the same person, and that the ip's and sock were created to make false accusations of paid voting to discredit the outcome of the AFD discussion.

All four of these accounts use the same extremely unusual edit summary when voting on AFD nominations - they start the edit summary with an asterisk, followed by their vote in triple apostrophes, as if they had copied and pasted their comment into the edit summary. I have never seen anyone use an edit summary like this at AFD before, and I find it unlikely that four editors would all start using the same style of edit summary at around the same time.

 * Commenting here as I'm involved. Note that Rajuiu opened this DRV discussion to claim that the AfD was subject to foul play and thus invalid. In addition, looking over Rajuiu's early editing history, they are almost certainly also someone else's sock and NOTHERE. signed,Rosguill talk 21:00, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * There's a load of obvious socks on commons, all of which have been uploading photos of RT rana and voting keep on them when they get nominated for deletion, e.g. Stevenjames6, MO-Quotes and Sjrahem. I suspect this is related to them, but since they've not edited here I don't think a local checkuser can find out. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 21:25, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

 * That plus behaviour is enough for me. – please block the master indefinitely. Leaving the IPs alone for now; there's collateral on the range and no apparent recent disruption from this user.  Blablubbs&#124;talk 11:56, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
