The article Shalom Television was created three times in August and September and speedily deleted for blantant advertising. This user, praveen.jom, was created minutes before the latest creation of that article. I'm not an admin, so I have no way of seeing who created the earlier articles, but it seems worth checking for sockpuppetry--perhaps it's one person who was earlier blocked under another user name.

 * It was first created by Anilgeoson, later deleted by an admin, and recreated by Shalom television, got deleted again, and then recreated by Praveen.jom. But none of these accounts were blocked before to merit using another account to create the same article. OhanaUnitedTalk page 17:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Then it isn't an issue of creating a new account to evade a block, but if the articles were essentially the same then it's still almost certainly a matter of puppets of either the sock or meat variety. &#8212;Largo Plazo (talk) 19:17, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Blocked per WP:U. However the versions of the article created by the other two users are different, not likely they are outright socks. Not blocking those, could be revisited if inappropriate behavior continues. Cirt (talk) 08:20, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
