This is WP:DUCK to me. Master created a page User:Ilovethewikis/Kulbir Jhinjer (now userfied) which was CSD tagged. First edit of the sock is to removed CSD tag (master was told in another incident that he can not removed CSD tags from his own pages). Later sock account was used to edit war at Child. But now here master pretends to not know the sock. Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 05:22, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

I just noticed that master held previous User:Rajvir Singh Randhawa account (same picture and address). -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 06:20, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Pretty obvious WP:DUCK here; I've nuked a few of the contributions that make the connection obvious, but they're there. I've Indefinitely blocked the account and have blocked the IPs as well; I'll leave it to a clerk to determine if CU is appropriate here and to another admin if anyone wants to hand out a rangeblock. -- Kinu t/c 06:38, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks too wide for a range-block, it would hit 65,536 IPs. JohnCD (talk) 15:19, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

I blocked the IP for one month. I don't think there's anything more that needs to be done here, although my guess is there will be more IPs.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:48, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Regarding the Singh accounts: I am aware that Singh is a common surname, but that an account named Singh appears two days after the first account is blocked and continues his work seems a bit hard to believe. Old account created an article on Ammy Virk, new account creates an article on one of Virk's movies -- directed by Simerjit Singh. When the new account needed help, he left a message for the admin who blocked the previous account. These are WP:SOCK accounts.

Regarding Ennsyan: Ennsyan tried repeatedly to create a page about himself, a userfied version of which can be found here. Singh has tried so as well, much of which is identical to the Enn Syan article. For example:
 * Enn Syan had assisted many of the Pollywood music videos. In 2013 he assisted in the PTC award winning music video "SOCH" by "Hardy Sandhu". In 2014 he assisted in the videos like "Patiala Peg" by "Diljit Dosanjh", "SAREE WALI GIRL" by "Girik Aman ft Sunny Leone" and in the award winning music video "JOKER" by "Hardy Sandhu".
 * Amaninder Singh had worked many of the Pollywood music videos. In 2013 he worked in the PTC award winning music video "SOCH" by "Hardy Sandhu". In 2014 he worked in the videos like "Patiala Peg" by "Diljit Dosanjh", "SAREE WALI GIRL" by "Girik Aman ft Sunny Leone" and in the award winning music video "JOKER" by "Hardy Sandhu".


 * Through the years Enn has compiled a diverse portfolio of work assisting in over 100 music videos.
 * Through the years Amaninder has compiled a diverse portfolio of worked in over 100 music videos.

The sources cited in the Amaninder Singh article only mention Enn Syan, and not Amaninder Singh. Theiamhoneysingh worked on the Ennsyan article. Ennsyan and Singh are definitely WP:MEAT accounts, if not WP:SOCKs. Ian.thomson (talk) 05:47, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

 * While the Singh accounts are legitimate in relation toward each other, the Singh accounts' relationship to Enn Syan is to avoid WP:scrutiny. Theiamhoneysingh tried to recreate the Enn Syan article after the version by User:Ennsyan was deleted in AFD.  Enn Syan's purpose on this site was self-promotional, and User:Hakam_singh_indian/Amaninder_Singh indicates that this is true for the Singh account as well.

 * - was blocked because of the username, and was allowed to create new account (see User talk:Theiamhoneysingh: "You are encouraged to choose a new account name"). So, him creating new account(s) is not sockpuppetry. Hakam singh indian and Ennsyan are probably both his accounts, but,, you have to explain what WP:ILLEGIT was made by those two. I don't see any common article edited by both (except the user page).  Vanjagenije   (talk)  08:40, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

 * All three accounts are ✅. Master tagged. Puppets blocked and tagged. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 04:34, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Hold up a sec. Have a look at Sockpuppet_investigations/Rajvir_Singh_Randhawa/Archive, especially the last report which has Theloveiamhoney. --Neil N  talk to me 05:08, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you please look at the other SPI? At first glance, all the accounts are stale, so it would require a behavioral analysis to determine whether they should be merged. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:33, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I found these by looking at --Neil N  talk to me 22:23, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd like, but it's all about some deleted articles, so I can't access.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:27, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * You just want to make more work for me. Unfortunately, I agree with you, and I'll merge this one into the other.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:29, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I've retagged the accounts appropriately and am again closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:35, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Removing speedy deletion template from Navjit Buttar, an article created by a User:Theiamhoneysingh (sock of Rajvir Singh Randhawa, and worked on by User:Hakam_singh_indian (another sock), some IPs that geolocate to Punjab (just like other IP socks), and minor (often automated) edits by users who weren't aware of the sockpuppetry. This IP geolocates to Punjab.  I'm guessing a block will just prompt him to hop to another IP, so finishing the speedy deletion or at least protecting the page would probably be more effective.

Both are singularly focused on recreating or drafting articles on Enn Syan, Navjit Buttar, and individuals they supposedly work with. Ian.thomson (talk) 14:20, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
