Don't know or care if this is WP:MEAT or direct socking but the repeated attempts to create NinjaCart (see also Draft:NinjaCart, Draft:NinjaCart (2)) indicate undisclosed coi/paid editing and likely some sort of puppetry. Praxidicae (talk) 15:27, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Just recreated under another name HelloGold Sdn. Bhd. an article HelloGold that was deleted as having been created by a sock of the above puppetmaster. Shows skills that are impossible for a new user to have. Dom from Paris (talk) 10:01, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Agreed this is a sock. It might also be worth looking into who wrote Michal Masny and subsequently moved by Greatbritains, though I suspect the link is unlikely. MER-C 12:20, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Starman appeared suddenly after a long leave of absence and created Usha Sanjay Kakade in mainspace, which has been repeatedly sent to AFC for a variety of reasons under the name Usha Kakade and both use the "this is a userpage" template. Praxidicae (talk) 13:25, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Similar to Starman is the case of User:Drheartbeat. He appeared suddenly after absence and created Grandmaster Shifuji, an article which previously has been AFD'd as rediect (Articles for deletion/Shifuji Shaurya Bhardwaj and Shaurya Bhardwaj) and deleted (Shifuji). Should Grandmaster Shifuji be deleted too? It was previously speedy-deleted four times. —Sarvatra (talk, contribs) 21:36, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

This is a recent phenomenon for you, creating new cases where you don't name the oldest-created account as the master. Could you please be more careful? It's probably not fair, but I expect perfection from you as you are possibly the best (and most prolific) SPI filer we have. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:43, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Substantially similar recreation of Akade, originally created by sock. Given the history, it is prudent to look for more accounts. MER-C 12:18, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Recreation of Soon Pretorius, previously created by confirmed SP. I can't check if the article content is substantially similar, but given the history of sockpuppetry this seemed worth a check. Hugsyrup 11:39, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Has just created Soon Pretorîus, the same article repeatedly created by Vasu1206 and their sockpuppets. And added the accented i to get around the salting. Hugsyrup 14:35, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Starsdue created Vamaship Logistics (formerly Vamaship) and it is word for word the exact same as 's creation in August. However this account was created in 2017 which leads me to believe this is almost certainly paid meat puppetry as the text in both articles does not appear anywhere else that I can find.

Recreated the article Ashish Bhanot, previously edited by blocked user User:Sukh2019 and Vasu1206 sock User:Kolta99. The quality of writing appears to be higher this time, but much of the same info is present in early revision https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ashish_Bhanot&oldid=939413598 as in the deleted version. Examples: The same list of life memberships. All Radio interviews in External Links. "DR.ASHISH BHANOT’S Profile and achievements" as the first line in "References".

It may very well be that this user is actually a sock of Sukh2019 and that Sukh2019 is unrelated to Vasu1206. (Sukh2019's user page is illuminating). I have listed here as I understand I should list against the oldest possible known account but if this should be moved to a new case please do that or let me know that I need to. kingboyk (talk) 14:46, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
