 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.


 * Sanjayp3's account was created in September 2006 under the username of User:Manitdani (the user later changed his username after creating the most recent version of the Manit Dani articles: User talk:Maxim).
 * Sanjayp3/Manitdani created the Manit dani / Manit Dani article many times over the years, and each time it was speedy deteled.
 * Sanjayp1 was created in June 2011, with the very first edit being the creation of User:Sanjayp1/Manit Dani
 * On June 24, 2012, Sanjayp3/Manitdani created the latest version of the article, and made many edits to it over the next hour:, ,
 * In between Sanjayp3/Manitdani's edits, the article was edited by Sanjayp1:
 * Over the next few daysSanjayp3 consistently removed tags from the article without proper reasoning:, ,
 * In the same time period, many IPs appeared to remove maintenance tags and AfD tags, often without explanations, despite multiple warnings:
 * 14.140.206.210's edits to the page:, , ,
 * 182.68.55.58's edits to the page:, , ,
 * 117.197.152.82's edits to the page: ,
 * 117.197.157.65's edits to the page:

Given the similarity of behaviour, it seems to me that Sanjayp3/Manitdani has is also editing from Sanjayp1 as well as various IP addresses in order to prevent his article from being deleted. Singularity42 (talk) 15:35, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * After 14.140.206.210's first edit (which was to remove the COI tag from the article), he admitted to being the editor who added most of the content to the article (i.e. Sanjayp3): User talk:Singularity42


 * This is coming up to 4 days since above report was filed. 14.140 is still vandalizing the article and being disruptive.  Ideally, I would like to leave it all with one global report, but if this isn't going to be acted on, I need to report the IP to AIV... Singularity42 (talk) 13:23, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

There is no reason to believe that Sanjayp3 and Sanjayp1 were disruptive, and it's possible that Sanjayp3 was created because Sanjayp1 was abandoned. The IPs have not edited in quite a while, so I see no purpose of issuing any blocks in this case. Marking as closed with no action taken. --MuZemike 23:03, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
