Preetiahluwalia created Balloons (2016) on the 31st, the English-language title of Gubbaare, a film article created by Ucstudentc two days previously and deleted. The "Balloons" article includes File:Syed Saad.jpg, an image uploaded by Ucstudentc's previous sock User:Ucsb09f. Ucstudentc, Ucsb09f and Preetiahluwalia have all been uploading copyvio images to commons - Ucstudentc and Preetiahluwalia have both uploaded the poster to Gubbaare.

Just to help keep conversations clear, I should note that ucstudentc had previously had the name Worldwideshortfilms, but Changing_username/Simple/Archive205. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:36, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

No. They aren't sockpuppets. I explained it infinite times before and doing so again, that the previous articles from above mentioned accounts were made by amateurs who didn't add cited links and just uploaded an article, resulting in an obvious assumption that its a fake entity and since it was one IP address that's why thought to be a sockpuppet. However ever since I have made an account and created an article, I have made sure to let you guys know that its a real entity notable niche film with as many links as I have at the moment. Still I am getting constantly bugged by speedy deletion articles despite me constantly posting you links to an article and IMDB video that this is real. Please stop the process, look into the links and lift the deletion.Preetiahluwalia (talk) 15:34, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

I apologize for all the mess, PROMISE to not let those users use Wikipedia again, and I request you to keep me and my article a part of your Wikipedia since I am a genuine contributor of real information. Sorry for all the inconvenience. Please forgive all things happened from my IP address unknowingly. :-)Preetiahluwalia (talk) 15:39, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Duck, A newly registered SPA user came back to recreate Gubbaare and uploaded the same images. The article also looks like the same version of the previously deleted article. GSS (talk |c|em ) 09:58, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
