Both appear to have overlapping interest in similar dancers, particularly Patruni Chidananda Sastry as well as similar naming styles and writing style, like the masters creation Charles Ma. I'll also note that until Suryashasi started moving stuff around and removing tags, the master hadn't edited for months. There are also 0 edits in the same time between Suryashasi and the master.

Pretty ducky at Patruni Sastry which ironically was accepted by an unaffiliated sock. Praxidicae (talk) 15:35, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another attempt to promote Draft:Patruni Sastry Chidananda. Similar as earlier confirmed socks. QueerEcofeminist ^{"cite! even if you fight"!!!} [they/them/their] 10:42, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New user, opened a DRV to restore Patruni Chidananda Sastry, as well as creating Draft:Polar Night (2020 English Movie), a movie in which they starred. I'm guessing more meat than sock. There's unlikely enough evidence here to do anything about it now, but opening this to get it into the record for future reference. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:29, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - I've added a second likely sock which is also sneakily promoting Sastry. Archives are stale, but requesting CU to compare the two. Behaviorally, both of the listed socks are exclusively interested in promoting Sastry (Dharmayya has so far requested DRV on the deleted Sastry draft and written two articles about things related to Sastry, Hanu36 is sneaking mentions of Sastry into various vaguely-related articles), so I think there's enough behavioral evidence for blocking both on suspicion of sock/meatpuppetry.

•  Clerk note: Blocking the two socks (thanks to GeneralNotability for finding the second one). I'm calling these suspects of Pcsastrys5, and I'll go back and manually fix up the altmaster tagging in a moment (eagerly awaiting this new functionality in User:GeneralNotability/spihelper.js). I'll also G5 Draft:Polar Night (2020 English Movie). -- RoySmith (talk) 19:39, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  RoySmith, ha, nice timing - I was actually trying to get that working just to use it in this case. Hoping I'll have it done by tonight, it's not 100% functional yet. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:40, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  GeneralNotability, I'll save you the next one. I apologize for not testing your script, but I'm heads-down right now in a SPI-related coding project of my own, which I hope to announce Real Soon Now. I'm currently engaged in hand-to-hand combat with jquery, which isn't really my strength. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:44, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how close the draft is but the username is similar to Hanu36 and they've recreated Draft:Patruni Sastry, previously Patruni Sastry and Patruni Chidananda Sastry Praxidicae (talk) 13:59, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - The current Draft:Patruni Sastry is substantially different from the deleted Patruni Sastry, as far as actual text goes, although they do share the same image. Hanurama also created Draft:Dragvanti, and the fact that they knew enough to use WP:REFILL on both drafts makes me suspect they have previous experience. So, could be a sock, but could also be just plain old multiple UPEs. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:27, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• CU isn't too useful but I'd say it's technically  Possible. Back to you RoySmith. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:50, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
•  Clerk note: Looking back at the archives, I see previous socks created Patruni Chidananda Sastry and Patruni Sastry Chidananda (and the draft versions of those). I'm pretty much where I was before CU; probably sock, but if not, certainly UPE, so I'm not going to sweat the difference.  Blocked and tagged.
