Itszaib

Sockmaster created a page about Arslan Sheraz, a non-notable Pakistani singer, in October 2016. Article was nominated for deletion per XfD (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arslan Sheraz). The sockmaster tried to rig the discussion by !voting Keep more than once and by removing a Delete vote. Another account, Muzentwala12, also !voted, as well as tampering with the discussion. Damqalandar is an SPA whose only edit was to !vote Keep in this AfD.

Fast-forward 7 months, and Toofaan12 creates the article Abdullah Muzaffar, another non-notable Pakistani singer. It is nominated for deletion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abdullah Muzaffar), and the account AngelaRola pops back up with a Keep !vote, having not edited since Arslan Sheraz's deletion discussion. The account SikandarMalik is created on 7 May, and has made only one edit: a Keep !vote at this AfD. AngelaRola, Muzentwala12, Damqalandar, and SikandarMalik, all make similar comments on AfDs, and all prefer to say Don't Delete rather than Keep. Toofaan12's behaviour is admittedly slightly different, and he denies being a sockpuppet, but it seems strange that AngelaRola would spring back into action to try and keep an article they did not create or contribute to.

Pinging Saqib, as he seems to be interested in this case too. Quasar G ^{t - c} 10:59, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - Please, compare three accounts (Muzentwala12 is stale). Vanjagenije (talk) 20:32, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Damqalandar is also stale.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:03, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Toofaan12 is Confirmed to Itszaib (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). AngelaRola is Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely), and SikanderMalik is Possible. AngelaRola is a few weeks older than Itszaib. I've blocked Toofaan12 and reblocked Itszaib, both without tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:29, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Clerk note: I would block AngelaRola for probable meatpuppetry here but this case is pretty old, their block would have expired by now and they haven't edited recently enough, IMO. I am going to tag the confirmed accounts and merge under Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Itszaib. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 12:31, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

These two users have been adding to cinema pages, and appear to be trying to add an official version of their films -- see this post to Smjg's page, and PeshwarWarrior re-adding content initially added by a blocked sock of this account. Requesting CU to see if this all makes technical sense. ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 21:58, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This case is being reviewed by Sir Sputnik as part of the clerk training process. Please allow them to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on their Talk page or on this page if more appropriate.

Awaiting administrative action - This is obvious enough to not need CU attention. Please block the new socks indefinitely. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:23, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sir Sputnik -
