Suspected sockpuppets
Only editing done is related to the NikTalab family, whose articles have been cross-wiki created by the master. Removing Notability and COI from the same article, and while doing that make a minor unrelated change to "mask" the removal (Se, Va, Sc). Likely to be sockpuppets or at least meatpuppets. ~Styyx Talk ? 13:14, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Also noting that had UPE concerns at Babak NikTalab which I'm starting to share due to the scale of things. Considering none of the articles went through AfC, the regular COI process has not been followed. Also found  creating the same articles on other projects but that one has been stale for a while.  ~Styyx Talk ? 13:23, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Don't know about the sock concerns, but there are definite indications of COI/UPE editing.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:28, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

 * I'd say it's a weak-ish, but CU can't tell the difference between outright socking and coordination in this case. --Blablubbs (talk) 16:45, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Based on the CU finding and editing I'm comfortable that this is either socking or meatpuppetry. All accounts blocked and tagged except Culturefound which hasn't edited for some time. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:31, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
