Suspected sockpuppets
User:Saiful Islam Jitu creates the article, I ask him if he has a relationship with the person, he says no. Later I added a tag to the Ashraful Islam Jhohan, which was deleted by user:Jhohanfreestyle by saying "Saiful Islam Jitu is my brother. I didn't pay him to make this article, he first created this article and...". Later user:Joseph2302 adds another tag, which was deleted by user:AnikaZaman24 by saying "All edits to the page will be done by me from now on. Neither Sailful Islam Jitu or the subject will make any changes to this page"..

Looks like sock/meatpuppetry involved here as they are trying to promote Ashraful Islam Jhohan. Please confirm that they aren't same user. Thanks. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 00:01, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

 * They're definitely either sock or meatpuppets. Looking at some of the things that AnikaZaman24 wrote, like and, they seem to be claiming they know that Jhohanfreestyle won't edit anymore. This is only possible if they've spoken to Jhohanfreestyle- thus this strongly implies meat/sockpuppetry. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:15, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Note for any CUs dealing with this, there's been off-wiki canvassing (documented at Articles for deletion/Ashraful Islam Jhohan), so if a bunch of IPs all geolocating to Bangladesh all start editing the same topics as the two socks there's a reasonable likelihood they genuinely are different people who are unaware of our rules on off-wiki collusion rather than 'true' sockpuppetry. &#8209; Iridescent 17:47, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

 * and are ✅ to one another. Saiful Islam Jitu seems to be in the same country, but editing out of a different IP range so is no more than, technically. There are some other accounts that might well belong to the two confirmed accounts, but they've either not edited, or have only edited sporadically about completely unrelated subjects, so I'm leaving them for now - re-report if any new or little-used accounts suddenly show up. Blocking the two confirmed accounts, I'll leave it to someone else to perform a behavioural evaluation regarding the main account, and to decide on any tags.

 * They resumed editing without answering my questions, so I have blocked their account indefinitely. While this does not actually answer the question of whether they were socking, meatpuppeting, canvassing, shared-COI-ing, or framed by an unrelated editor, at this point that's something for us to sort out in the context of an unblock request, so I am closing this. (If we do get a clear answer, I might leave a post-close/post-archival note.) --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 00:29, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
