Please see the history of Mahajubilee Training College, Mulloorkara. Tony was adding copyvio, and removing deletion tags with deceptive edit summaries (probably a sock too, possibly paid) (it's a glocked LTA). When they got reverted too many times, this new account shows up, goes directly to that article, and adds a copyvio again, a copy-paste of an advert. Both users use the edit summary "Add data" 1 2; another revdelled edit has the same edit summary, there's also an IP saying "Remove Data", and another IP saying "Dataa".

Both have an extremely strong interest in the Youtuber Arjun Sundaresan/"Arjyou," Tony590 also made a page about that youtuber. Abhinavsidharth is possible but not certain - they also came along and edited a draft that the others worked on, but they've been accused of UPE, so they may be somebody else. creffett (talk) 16:59, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Checkuser results are . Analyze for behaviour, and if certain accounts are only interested in spamming block them for that. – bradv  🍁  17:05, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Looking at this a bit further, has anyone stopped to analyze whether Arjun Sundaresan is actually notable? The latest draft claims he has 45 million views on Youtube, so it's possible there are sources about this person. It's also possible that he has many fans that want to write an article about him, but don't have a lot of experience writing articles on Wikipedia. If we're blocking everyone interested in this topic as a sockpuppet based solely on behaviour, and we're deleting every recreation as a G5, that's just a vicious circle. – bradv  🍁  17:26, 24 May 2020 (UTC)


 * After comparing the contributions of all involved accounts regarding Arjun Sundaresan, I'm going to call these accounts probably-unrelated. The timeframe involved here (multiple unrelated accounts all wanting to create this article around the same time) makes me suspicious of some kind of canvassing or off-wiki action, but nothing provable.

The account was created four days after the master was blocked, editing the same articles and moved Baby Niveditha to Niveditha Vijayan just like the master and hijacked Mullurkara. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 16:34, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

 * The editor interaction, sock creation date relative to the master being blocked, and (especially) the same page move by both all add up to a obvious socking. Not to mention a brand new user finding their way to bot requests.  I'd indef and tag.  -- RoySmith (talk) 17:02, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
