Repeated recreation of a page about Tanveer Alam which was deleted at AFD. See Special:Undelete/Tanveer_N_Alam, Special:Undelete/Tanveer_Alam, Special:Undelete/Alam_Tanveer and Special:Undelete/Alam_Tanveer_Alam.

I'm requesting CU given that the Newsviewsmedia account popped up before I blocked Mytanveer and then recreated the page I'm concerned that there may be sleepers. Plus they have demonstrated an ability and good enough knowledge to hide the recreations by changing the page title when they recreate the pages. Also see this discussion for some background (though not at all necessary) info. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 13:10, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

 * There's a very large amount of logged-out self-promotion, so I have blocked all the accounts indefinitely. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:30, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Both editors have comparatively less Unique Pages Edited (UPE). Mywhitefox has 73 UPEs in 351 total edits and Ishueditor has 33 UPEs in 74 total edits. The despite that they two have edited 21 pages in common. And this common pages edited has a pattern. The sockmaster had his own article which got deleted after Articles for deletion/Tanveer Alam in Dec 2013. A confirmed sock had edited this Afd after its closure. Ishueditor seems to have done same thing in August 2015 on the same AfD. Mywhitefox has created article on same subject Draft:Tanveer Alam and has tried to take it through AfC since July 2015 but gets rejected. Mywhitefox has created an article on Tauqueer Alam, (now at AfD) and the Draft:Tanveer Alam seems to have lots of film works in common in these two people; maybe they are related. For example Tauqueer is producer of Haunted Rooh and Tanveer is Creative Director. Similar cae in Sabse Bada Rupaiya (TV series). Doesn't seem to be coincidences but more like WP:DUCK here. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:59, 7 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Adding further; history of Sabse Bada Rupaiya (TV series) shows that creator is User:Tanveer Alam and has been mainly edited only by Mytanveer, Ishueditor and Mywhitefox. Shardul Rathod has been created by Mytanveer and then further edited by Mywhitefox and Ishueditor. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:43, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm satisfied by the behavioural / WP:DUCK evidence here and have indef-blocked both Mywhitefox and Ishueditor. Closing now. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 06:24, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * - Please, compare those two alleged socks to each other.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:40, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Different computers, different ranges, same country. Technically bordering on ❌. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:10, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Supar star was registered today just to recreate Socialtags work RajKumar. The article was deleted yesterday, after an AfD discussion and Socialtags asked for the review today by recreating Talk:RajKumar, after deleted the talk page Super star was registered a few minutes later and recreated the same article. Requesting CU to check if they are using more accounts. Thank you GSS (talk |c|em ) 14:30, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
