Suspected sockpuppets
Both accounts share an interest in People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (sometimes with decent English ) and a large amount of low effort AFD !votes with bad punctuation and capitalization (and often with very poor English). Both have used some very unique expressions at AFD such as Fail passes Notability or and fail passes. Both used to ping people by copying signatures including the user talk page link. Both have copypasted other votes or fragments of votes in a way that suggests they did not even understand the copied text or they did not even check. In one case, MA Javadi accidentally amended a SalmanZ vote, I assume that thinking they were logged in as SalmanZ. Here's the sequence: (or just inspect that AFD history: ).I'm fairly involved in content disputes in this topic area, so I'm requesting someone else to clerk this case.

 * Amendment: SalmanZ did not participate as much in substantial enwiki discussions, so I have struck out the bit about decent English. MarioGom (talk) 19:57, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I did expect effective CU evasion. Ideally this should be considered with behavior alone. MarioGom (talk) 18:20, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Comments by other users

 * Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

I refactioned another user’s comment, and self-reverted when I recognized my error. That was in 2019 and did all kinds of other uncareful editing back then. This is also the reason why I would draw elements from other editor’s posts (to learn the process). I understand how this might cause confusion. I’m much more fluent with these processes now, although I still make mistakes from time to time, but it doesn’t mean I have another account; this is my only account. - MA Javadi (talk) 17:38, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

 * , and when I compared the editing history of the two accounts, I found a few small connections between the two, then a few more small connections, then a few more... then, when I decided I had accumulated far more coincidences than could be just chance, and was just about prepared to block... I saw a really big connection, which had been staring me in the face for a long time, unnoticed. There is no longer any doubt, so I will block both accounts. JBW (talk) 21:50, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
