 * ChethanKumar88 and Srinivas Bangalore are to each other (perhaps WP:MEAT?), but Srinivas Bangalore is ✅ to, who was the creator of the Anand Sankeshwar that was up for deletion. Srinivas Bangalore is technically the older account, but Ramkumar592 is the more recently active account. Given that this user appears to have contributed to the same discussion as if they were multiple people , I'm considering blocking all these accounts indefinitely. Alternatively, since it seems like Ramkumar592 has made some constructive contributions outside of promoting Anand Sankeshwar, I was also considering potentially extending some leniency to Ramkumar592 and just letting that account go with a warning, and blocking the other accounts. What do others think here? Mz7 (talk) 03:24, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I would be inclined to block the two confirmed accounts, and let ChethanKumar88 go with a canvassing warning. Deceiving the community to manipulate AFD is well worth the block, and they can always seek that leniency in an appeal. MarioGom (talk) 19:51, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Srinivas Bangalore and Ramkumar592 per MarioGom. Will give ChethanKumar88 uw-agf-sock. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 04:46, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
