Suspected sockpuppets
Other than the obvious name similarity, 2 SPA accounts who have only edited what is most likely an autobiography. See this and this.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:46, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Wisecharlie is a single purpose account focused almost exclusively on Charles chinedu Ndukauba. When the article was nominated for deletion Paschal1999 removed the AfD tag. Chacha igbokwe did the same when the article was later recreated with correct capitalization at Charles Chinedu Ndukauba and nominated for deletion again, as well as blanking both AfD pages.

(mentioned below) seems likely from behaviour, with interaction at Denis Chidi Isizoh and the deleted Charles Chinedu Ndukauba. (now copy-pasted to Draft:Ndukauba). Certes (talk) 14:22, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

 * - Please check to confirm, and for additional accounts. Please also check this sooner rather than later as the most recent sock is due to go stale in a few days. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:36, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * These two are ✅ to each other and to  from the archive. There's also, who is  to .  --Blablubbs (talk) 11:55, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Since both groups have engaged in sockpuppetry in their own right, I've blocked all the accounts here. I can't tell if this is sock or meatpuppetry, but it seems vanishingly unlikely that the two groups are unrelated. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:03, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Correction to the above, it seems Bbb23 already blocked some of the accounts in question. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:04, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

On April 12, User:Chacha igbokwe, who has been linked to User:Paschal1999, was blocked for sockpuppetry. In this edit, igbokwe blanked the AFD page of a BLP article that was deleted. They were warned by User:Sir Sputnik not to recreate the article. A day after being blocked, User:Melvin klein created an account and resumed editing, evading their block. On April 29, another suspected sock of Wise charly, User:I have a dream someday, recreated the previously deleted article under the name Charles Ndukauba. A couple of days later, Melvin klein made several edits to the Charles Ndukauba article. I don't think any of this is a coincidence.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 01:26, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

 * I just came to make the same report. It's unusual for so many sockpuppets to converge on creating an article for an ambitious 15 year old boy so I don't think it's paid editing, probably the article subject themselves. Liz Read! Talk! 03:30, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Just thought I'd list all of the versions of the articles, several of which went to AFD: Charles chinedu Ndukauba, Charles Chinedu Ndukauba and Charles Ndukauba. There are more in Draft space. Liz Read! Talk! 07:35, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Recreated Foris Labs that was originally created by sockpuppet User:Christbueze as well as the recreation of Charles Ndukauba which is probably the bigger tell. Liz Read! Talk! 23:07, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess I could have just blocked them myself. But I thought I should bring it to SPI. Liz Read! Talk! 07:40, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Given how long the previous confirmed socks have been inactive, it's unclear whether CheckUser evidence will actually tell us anything useful, but it's also unnecessary given how cut and dry the behavioural evidence is. . Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:53, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Both of these two have recreated articles on Charles Ndukauba (see also Draft:Charles Ndukauba). Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:10, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
