Vivek Rai created a new article here, which was nominated for speedy. They then removed the speedy here, and it was automatically replaced by a bot. Then the anon IP 117.214.162.2 removed the speedy here with its only edit, suggesting WP:DUCK. The article was then PRODed, and the PROD was removed by another new account Naman0804 here. Per WP:DUCK this appears to be a sock with the intent of promoting Vidyamandir Classes. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 17:09, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Note that Naman0804 has now gone ahead and marked a competitor for speedy deletion here. So this further seems to suggest it is a promotional sock with the intent of promoting itself and damaging competitors. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 17:11, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

 * The IP is obviously him just getting logged out, but I really don't know about the named account, considering that it was created before the article was created, and he didn't attempt to use it to remove the CSD tag. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:05, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Both Naman and the IP appear to have stopped editing. I'll mark for close, but please refile if more problems occur. TN X Man  19:03, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
