All SPA users are here to promote Vaibhav Yadav. Ashishkumar1995's first edit was creating his own user page and having a very similar username as Anitakumari1970. this request on my talk page by Ashishkumar1995 and this edited version of his user page is also very similar to this comment by Anitakumari1970 (e.g. no signature and the use of line break).

 * - Please compare these accounts. Thanks, GABgab 01:28, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The master is .--Bbb23 (talk) 02:11, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Forgive me, I should have clarified - I meant the two non-stale accounts. Thanks, GABgab 04:39, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The two listed puppets are ✅ to each other. Blocked without tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:57, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * There appears to be more promotion of a slightly different nature tied in here. Another Yadav is being promoted...this one as well as the Government School Teachers Association GSTA Delhi <== Take a look at the current article and we see that we likely have some meats and and some socks. Ashish expanded the article in this SPI case but also worked on the other with some explanation that may be seen here. Name pattern also fits. The other editor's contribs are self-explanatory as is the commonalities in their username and the named sockmaster above. Also, all of these accounts have a monolithic look to their userpages.

 * Also found the above account who seems to be another self-revealing promoter based on name, deleted contribs and this edit. This last account is stale but the previous two that I have listed above are not., are the non-stale two a match to your confirmed accounts above? I'm trying to discern between intentional socking versus run-of-the-mill COI meatpuppetry. This would also help define who is the oldest account. The stale account that I have listed above was created one day before the Ashish account that I have listed which is also telling.

 * Djvaibhav4u is ✅. Ashishgupta1996 is /. Confirmed account blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:52, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks Bb. Moved to Vyadav7636 and blocking that master one week. Indeffing Vaibhavyt and Ashishgupta1996. Tagging with suspect tags so that this does not imply more than reported in the CU results. In a now deleted contrib, the master wrote "...I am not related to the person this page is about. This merely my view of the things that he has achieved and done for the teaching community of Delhi. We have collectively decided to make this article and this is our view. We request to let this article be and allow others to add their views so that a neutral article can be made. Moreover, the facts given are 100% true and might sound biased as we the teachers of Delhi admire Ajay Veer's work. Please donot remove the article." I don't believe him about not being related and a quick check of his deleted contribs make that clear. Use of the word "donot" above may be compared to Ashishgupta's edit here and the deleted contribs' edit summaries for the named master may be compared to these edit summaries to see they are likely the same individual. The leading "Basic" or "Major" is telltale. Closing.

Editing in the same area, created Ajay Veer Yadav and Government Schools Teachers Association (GSTA) in simple-wiki and both articles were created by in en-wiki as pointed out by  previously, he also used File:Ajay Veer Yadav in Delhi 2015.jpg which was uploaded by Ashishkumar1995 and his first edit was to edit GSTA Delhi and then Delhi Directorate of Education where previous socks were active.

 * Vaibhavconnects recently created Mission Zindagi and simple:Veer Foundation he founded where he used references related to a different topic which has the similar name e.g. in Veer Foundation he used sources related to the CNN-IBN's campaign "Veer" which is completely unrelated to his organization so to me, it sounds like he's trying to mislead the reviewers to promote his business and definitely not here to build an encyclopedia.

 * They are using similar IP ranges according to the CU logs and geolocate to the same city. Either the same editor or a meatpuppet so I've blocked as a suspected sock.
 * Did you want to extend the block on the master, by the way? The master was blocked last year by you for socking for one week. Given the last edit, either way is fine with me, but wanted to make sure you were aware the master is currently unblocked. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 05:21, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Kevin. Indeffed and closed.
