 * All edit the same articles around the same time. Perhaps meatpuppetry. I've blocked the sockmaster for four days, which if you add on the previous block brings it to a one week duration. All other accounts were already blocked but I've tagged them. Closing &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  23:59, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Sheikh Zaman Official has made zero contributions. It's a throwaway account created in December 2014. Sheikh Zaman (actor), whom I've added, created the article by the same name (I just deleted). No need for a CU. I've indeffed and tagged both puppets. I've increased the master's block to indefinite and tagged it. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:19, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. One last note: this SPI should be merged with Sockpuppet investigations/Dj Sheikh Zaman, if possible. Dai Pritchard (talk) 13:24, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * There's more of them?? This case should be the main one because the master here is the oldest account. I'll merge the other one into this later as it's 5:30 a.m. where I am, and I have to get ready to go to work (after not sleeping much). Thanks for the pointer.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:32, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah I only just noticed the other SPI. The "II" after the name of this master should have been a clue for me. Well, it will keep: the note is here for other reviewing admins. Sorry to hear you had not much sleep. Thanks for all you've done so far on this. Dai Pritchard (talk) 13:35, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

I retagged the puppet and am closing. With respect to the CU request in one of the earlier cases above that I removed and closed, I can understand the desire to check for sleepers as the accounts are coming in fast and furious, but I'm not sure what good it would do even if we uncovered sleepers. Until the person tires of doing this, there will be more regardless of how many CUs we perform. Although I am closing this, I am open to others' opinions on this issue, including any lurking CU.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:04, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Indeffed and tagged. Two things. First, please stop requesting a CU each time you open up a new report. It's unnecessary even if there are sleepers (you seem to be catching all of them anyway). Second, don't notify the account of this investigation. It's not required, it's generally not a good idea, and in this case it may even do some small amount of harm.

Blocked and tagged per WP:DUCK. It's been months since we heard from this one, so a look for sleepers might be worth while. JohnCD (talk) 15:21, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * - Please, perform a sleepers check.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  17:56, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Looking at the past reports, the socks seem to be very apparent and there haven't been any signs of sleeper accounts. I don't think a sleeper check is necessary here. <b style="color:#151B54">Mike V</b> • <b style="color:#C16C16">Talk</b> 01:51, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Looks like the person is returning with the article of Sheikh Zaman (Entrepreneur). Wgolf (talk) 04:02, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Should add that the socks have created this article before under various names. Wgolf (talk) 04:07, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

I've blocked the former and has blocked the latter. Same hoaxy non-notable article creations as the earlier accounts including Sheikh Zaman. Don't know if a sleeper check is required, letting someone else make that call. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  09:40, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

An SPA created to re-create the article and battle for it at AFD. Enough of a link? (BTW I am surprised the article in question has not been salted after all this time and I have requested that happen, too) Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:00, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

 * The Zaman Ali article was not created by Alvin Erich, but it was (re)creted by two other accounts, so I added them to the list.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:37, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * - I don't think those three are connected to as it seams to me that they created article about different person named Zaman Ali. The Zaman Ali created by  Sheikh Zaman ll was born in 1997, while this new one was born in 1993. Can we compare three alleged socks?

 * All three are ✅ to each other. The oldest account is Zaman Ali 01, so we should split this out into a separate case with his name. All blocked awaiting tags.  Katietalk 15:19, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅, see Sockpuppet investigations/Zaman Ali 01. GABgab 21:07, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Post-archiving notice: This is not Sheikh Zaman ll, but Sockpuppet investigations/Zaman Ali 01 (same name, different person). I re-tagged those two socks.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  14:27, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

The only people who have ever been interested in writing an article about Zaman Ali are socks from this farm, who appear to have recreated it as Zaman Ali (philosopher) along with a sock vote at the afd. Praxidicae (talk) 16:24, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
