Tonight I was alerted that the article Nikil Murugan was recreated after a normal removal discussion (Articles for deletion/Nikil Murugan). As so, I tagged it for speedy removal as G4. This article was flawlessly created by User:Maggy211, who only registered today. Returning after a couple of hours, I noticed that the article was still there but all the important tags were removed by Venky94. In fact, Maggy211 created the article and Venky94 continued editing.

Looking further into it, I came across A Kumaran. This article is created by Venky94 after which Maggy 211 continued editing.. I also came across Manush Nandan, an article created by Venky94 and later edited by user:Maggy_kamal92.

Venky94 recreated the article about Nikil Murugan several times, under the same name and under the name Nikkil. That is why it is interesting to see that Maggy_kamal92 uploaded a photo of Nikil Murugan as "self-made file". But the picture was removed as being a copy of File:Nikil murugan.jpg, that was uploaded a few hours earlier by Venky94.

As the picture shows that mr. Murugan is working in PR, I think this is a case of blatant self-promo with the aid of several assistants or sockpuppets. The Banner talk 21:17, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
