"TireAshkani" was created on 14 August 2016. "Iranianguy" was created on 21 August 2016. They have edit warred together on the Iranian Americans page. User already admitted on his talk page to have at least one more account, indeed this very same "TireAshkani".. However, given the pretty weird agenda/POV, rather "racialist" (e.g. "In the article it states he is majority Persian blooded'', "Shes not pure Iranian"), as well as due to his edit-warring sprees without providing any sources, such as on the Persian people page, I decided to open this SPI. I'm pretty sure the IP has been used by the user as well, given that they reinstated/followed the same edits on the Iranian Americans page as the sockmaster + sock, and used a similar edit summary as well. - LouisAragon (talk) 00:05, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

 * - Please compare the named accounts. Same POV and page, and making all mobile edits. Thanks, GABgab 01:01, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

 * ✅, no sleepers. However, he's admitted it, and he hasn't made any edits from the first account since he began using the second one. We should ask him which he wants to use, keep that one, and indef the other. No comment on the IP.  Katietalk 02:07, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You indeffed both - should we just ping him and then unblock the account he chooses? Thanks, GABgab 14:05, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's fine. Let me know and I'll unblock. Katietalk 18:09, 31 October 2016 (UTC)


 * , which account do you want to continue to use in the future? GABgab 21:24, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Still no response. Ought we to just close this? Thanks, GABgab 15:29, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, let's close it. He can choose if/when he returns. Katietalk 15:31, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Only four edits, all of them were to make same unsourced/self-interpreted change on the Persian people page, alike to the earlier CU blocked sockmaster. Also, "AnimeKing4lyf" has used an edit summary virtually entirely similar to those used on several occassions by "TireAshkani";
 * AnimeKing4lyf; "Persian isn't a nationality, but an ethnicity."
 * TireAshkani; "Persian is an ethnicity (...)".
 * TireAshkani; "Persian is an ethnicity and not only confined to Iran [thus not a nationality]".. - LouisAragon (talk) 00:41, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
