All these 3 editors have extensively created/edited to promote a single writer Suman Sen [1] whose notability is doubtful. Their edits include creating the articles on his books [2], [3], [4] and a little known magazine [5] which would feature this author and finally, stacking vote in AFD [6].

All of these articles have no significant edits except these 3 editors. There has been a template created as well [7]. Sambhil32 ( talk) 20:24, 15 February 2020 (UTC) reply

• Sujay03 and Bloody Knight Rider are  Likely. Netai90 is  Stale. ST47 ( talk) 02:28, 17 February 2020 (UTC) reply
•  Clerk note: Bloody Knight Rider is the oldest account, moving... Cabayi ( talk) 18:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC) reply
•  Clerk assistance requested: - I can't see that Sambhil32 has provided any evidence against Netai90. Could an admin/clerk progress the case by way of the deleted diffs? Cabayi ( talk) 18:25, 27 February 2020 (UTC) reply
• @ Cabayi: Netai90 is behaviourally a likely match to both of the editors, simply put, they created and edited a Bengali film article related to Suman Sen who both of the socks seem to be interested in, BKR has also edited it exactly once while Sujay has only edited Suman Sen. I will probably block the two which turned up a technical match but let's hear what you have to say. Also, imo the admin case status is more suitable for this? -- qedk ( t 桜 c) 23:09, 29 February 2020 (UTC) reply

QEDK, I'll defer entirely to your judgement. Sambhil32 hasn't provided more evidence here. There's some overlap (or warring) with Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sidtever which was raised by Usernamekiran, and which also needs admin tools to progress.

•  In progress. -- Blablubbs ( talk) 19:18, 11 November 2022 (UTC) reply
• Very  Likely.  Blocked and tagged – this is the second time they've been caught socking to recreate the Suman Sen article with what I suspect to be promotional intentions, so I'm blocking both accounts indefinitely. Closing. -- Blablubbs ( talk) 19:25, 11 November 2022 (UTC) reply
