 * - Clearly the same guy who's had 2 accounts for over a year. Please confirm & check for sleepers. Cabayi (talk) 12:20, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Blocking the blatant sock while waiting on CU. Cabayi (talk) 12:22, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Both accounts are ✅ but the IP/UA combination doesn't lend well to a sleeper check.  Maxim (talk)  00:34, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Attempted to create Draft:Siddhant Ghegadmal article put pasted it on Draft talk:Siddhant Ghegadmal, then created draft:Siddhant Ghegadmal(Indian Model) instead, using "google search" as a reference. Need to see if this is the same created content as before and whether we can G5 any similar attempts. AngusW🐶🐶F ( bark  •  sniff ) 23:35, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * AngusWOOF, all of this editor's edits have been about getting an article about himself on Wikipedia. Most obvious versions of his name are extended-protected so I guess he is getting creative with article titles. Liz Read! Talk! 05:13, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

This person's main goal is to get a Wikipedia article. Both Siddhant Ghegadmal and Draft:Siddhant Ghegadmal are protected from creation by new accounts so these editors have created a page at Siddhant Ghegadmal (Actor) and then moved it to Draft space when it became the subject of an AFD discussion. Looking at the IPs, I think a range block might be effective but since it just involves one particular article, it might be less damaging to protect some more possible page creation targets.

 * Per Special:Diff/1068609440, the whole /64 range is likely to be SBG90. --Minorax &laquo;&brvbar;talk&brvbar;&raquo; 12:14, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming you forgot to block SBG90? --Minorax &laquo;&brvbar;talk&brvbar;&raquo; 16:16, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

 * - the article created by SBG90 and the IP range is substantially similar to the draft created by . (I'm also going to guess that 'SBG' is an acronym for the aforementioned name). Please indefinitely block SBG90.The IPs listed here haven't edited in a few weeks, so I don't think it would be worthwhile to block them right now. The most recent range,, is already blocked.

 * This is difficult. I have blocked this IP address, and also /48 ranges covering the addresses listed above under 28 January, but it is close to certain that they will just come back with other IP addresses. It is out of the question to block the whole /32 range covering all these IP addresses, as the collateral damage would be considerable. I'm afraid it will probably have to be just a question of deleting and blocking every time this person comes back, in the hope that they will eventually give up. JBW (talk) 17:43, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I have now blocked 2409:4042:2EA0:3000:0:0:0:0/52, as I have found that apart from one vandalism edit, nobody except this blocked editor has edited from that range since November 2019. It just may help a little, and isn't likely to do any harm.JBW (talk) 17:55, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

 * The old accounts are stale, but the CU data is consistent with the ranges shown in the CU logs; given the similarities between the new draft and the deleted articles/drafts, I have no doubts that they are the same person. Blocking, tagging as proven.  Girth Summit  (blether)  18:18, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
