Shubham7872891640 created Shubham chaturvedi and Shubham Chaturvedi which were both nominated for speedy deletion. Shortly after their nomination a series of accounts contested the speedy with the following examples: Knockoutmusicstudio (a new account),  1.38.14.4 (IP with very few edits and recently only on this contested deletion) , 117.201.116.224 (only activity is on this contested deletion) , and the original account of Shubham7872891640. So to summarize there were two identical articles created about a non-notable person, where many of the claims appear to be hoax claims citing references that make no mention of the article subject, and then when proposed for speedy deletion the article creator as well as another account and two anon IP accounts all contested the deletion quickly. This strongly suggests that this is the work of a sock/meat puppet. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 04:24, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Shubham7872891640 blocked indef. There were really nothing redeeming from their edits. Secondly, there's a COI issue here. Knockoutmusicstudio also blcoked indef. Probable sock but also a COI issue here. A bit of promotion from the accounts. One of the IPs is a mobile IP, so that's probably stale to block. The other IP belongs to a range (found a different one on the talk page) suggesting it is highly dynamic. With just 2 IPs, I can't really tell if a rangeblock would be possible or if feasible. Shubham Chaturvedi salted for 1 week. I'll leave the other article to another admin who has more experience at AfD, but I'd go for G3 (hoax). Elockid  ( Talk ) 15:46, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
