I believe the user is making new accounts in order to work around the rule that the person who has created an article may not remove their article's speedy deletion template. Nation11 and ip user both have no edit history before today. lovkal (talk) 17:59, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

The article in question, Dryrock ventures has been deleted, along with its revision history, looks like I played myself. lovkal (talk) 18:06, 2 June 2018 (UTC).

The only remaining evidence are the disruptive editing warnings on each user's respective talk pages (1, 2, 3) issued by myself as well as another user before the article's deletion. What you can see from talk page number 3, the page belonging to ZEROSUM2018, are three notifications regarding the speedy deletion of their article. It was deleted once before, so it is my presumption that, upon the second addition of their article to Wikipedia, the user figured out a loophole in order to prevent the deletion of their article. lovkal (talk) 18:13, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Additional evidence: IP user is based in India according to this tool, ZEROSUM2018 has a history of making changes to India-related articles according to their user contributions. lovkal (talk) 19:50, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

 * It's certainly that  and  are related accounts. I also found  which is  related. This could be meat/PAID editing.  - TNT❤ 17:11, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
 * This report hasn't been touched in a while now, and the suspected master account isn't actively editing, so I'm closing this. If the issue persists, feel free to reopen. --Deskana (talk) 08:37, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
