All of the accounts follow a similar username pattern, as well has having little to no edits outside of Draft:Sahnil Bhatnagar. After being deleted twice (Deletion log), the page has been repeatedly recreated at that location, and also at Draft:Sahnil bhatnagar (Actor) (now a redirect) and at Draft:Sahnil Bhatnagar (Digital Influencer). Thus, some salting might be needed.

The SPI was opened as suggested by AngusWOOF when I dropped a note on an admins talk page. Thanks, Giraffer munch 07:01, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Please also see correspondence on WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk. While there may be offers to rewrite the article, there is still tendentious resubmitting of both (Actor) and (TV Actor) articles.  May need Checkuser to see if they are coming from the same IP addresses, but it sounds very SPA-ish. Unfortunately their initial drafts  and  are the same content as what's been MFDed multiple times; you can tell from the IMDb references.  AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:48, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

 * - in full DUCK territory here, articles are substantially similar to previous socks' submissions (though these are a little more competent).

Creating drafts for MTV shows Elovator Pitch and Warrior High for the purposes of putting Sahnil Bhatnagar's name in the starring credits. Requesting checkuser to ensure it is coming from the same region as the usual Sahnil promoters. Warrior High already got deleted for G11 advertising.

After handful of dummy edits made another creation of Sahnil Bhatnagar, first as Draft:Actor Sahnil Bhatnagar, then after a declined AfC submission, copy pasted into Sahnil Bhatnagar (Actor). User clearly trying to bypass salting of regular article/draft title with their naming. Nothing new since last AfD, and it is once again sourced to a lot of social medial references. <b style="color:#000080; font-family:Tahoma">WikiVirus</b><u style="font-family: Tahoma">C <b style="color:#008000">(talk)</b> 19:20, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
