 * created 12 February 2017, creating Shashwat Sachdev the same day (the edit history of which is scattered with assorted single purpose accounts, all of which are far too stale for CU). They then go silent after this first edit, until 3 June 2020, when they return to edit that article, adding new awards. and adding reference to the subject to the page for one of these awards.
 * created 28 June 2020, promptly making their first edits to Shashwat Sachdev to wikilink “Romy” and to Romy (to remove an edit by, whom added a reference to the not-yet-created draft of Romy ). Later creating Draft:Romy (playback singer), which given their username may be an autobiography.
 * The same day, creates their userpage which is reportedly a a copy of Draft:Romy (playback singer), which was promptly speedy deleted as U5 / G6.
 * When notified of the SPI, states that they are the manager of Romy and were both attempting to create a Wikipedia article to the hopes of at least one sticking…
 * In summary, we have two editors crossing over editing articles which are undoubtedly promotional, both for biographies related to Phillauri (film), and both have an admitted conflict of interest. Whilst they admit to meatpuppetry and undisclosed paid editing, which may be enough, I suggest a checkuser run may be of use to (1) confirm whether or not this is accurate, and (2) sweep for any sleepers given the suspicions of WP:UPE both here and in the edit history of Shashwat Sachdev.
 * Please don’t hesitate to ping me if there are any queries. --Jack Frost (talk) 15:08, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

 * - Satisfies grounds for checking and CU policy (WP:CHK). Worth a check for confirmation in this instance. The SandDoctor  Talk 17:40, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * - Zero links provided, only to SRG in general. Please provide some links as your explanations are unclear. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 18:07, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Truebluetwisp and Mainhoonromy are ✅ to each other; the evidence suggests that they are either the same person or are sharing accounts. . Mainhoonromy, Truebluetwisp warned (neither account has edited in almost a month). Closing. Mz7 (talk) 17:57, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
