Very similar editing patterns, seems ducky though, they have been blocked on fawiki for the same reason but anyhow it would if enwiki CU could take a look to these accounts. we do have results from fawiki, I think they might act better this time but anyhow if needed I think Fawiki CUs can share their findings with enwiki team.

 * MHosseinafshar = Sajjadimanian. The other two I think fawiki would have a better ability to connect as I'm not as familiar. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 01:26, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

There have been allegations at Articles for deletion/Iman Farzin that the above are sockpuppets without any evidence except, eventually, a link to a fa-wiki page. As this seems to be a spill over from the fa-wiki, and as unjustly insisting people are sockpuppets is a serious matter I think it would be wise to check ourselves.

 * This is duplicate request of this. it would be great to have them in one place  Mardetanha (talk) 10:56, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Also worth noting that CU won't publicly link named accounts to IP addresses, (although, all things being equal, I support the request for a CU on the named accounts as, whether one agrees with or otherwise the deletion of the article, the English Wikipedia's processes are clearly being weaponized by another wiki, one way or another). 2A02:C7F:BE04:700:ED40:DFAB:9D73:1D7 (talk) 12:06, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

I struck the !votes of the sock accounts at the AFD Articles for deletion/Iman Farzin; I wasn't sure if any of the IP !votes in that AFD should be struck as well or not. Thanks, Lev!vich 00:04, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Judging by the far superior English language skills of IP 2A02:C7F:BE04:700:3920:992F:79F9:176 I would guess they're not the same person as the sock. --John B123 (talk) 15:47, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

 * As the account Iman Farzin is not registered here, I've merged this into the Sajjadimanian case. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:49, 8 November 2020 (UTC)


 * CheckUser evidence, either here or at fa wiki, connects Sajjadimanian, MHosseinafshar, and Thedunker66. The other two named accounts were seemingly registered or revived for the purpose of commenting on the relevant AfD. In light of the connection between the first three that's a sufficiently strong showing of sock- or meatpupptetry to warrant a block. The IP's are now long inactive so blocking them won't accomplish much. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:55, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
