All three of these editors seem to have a focus on Mandyada Sri Shiradi Sai Baba (see also Mandyada Sri Shiradi Sai Baba Temple, Mandyada Sri Shiradi Sai Baba Mandir.) Pranerao and Mandyadashiradisaibaba have both created this article several times. At time of writing, Bhaskaraomsai has made only two edits, both of them comments requesting the article be restored. ( diff 1, diff 2.) These comments also have some striking stylistic similarities to Parnerao's writing ( diff 3). Sir Sputnik ( talk) 15:09, 20 July 2017 (UTC) reply

•  Clerk endorsed - to confirm socking. I note that two of them, the master and the first sock have contribs at Commons. Their files might turn out to be okay but at least one deletion request is malformed as seen here and will need attention from a Commons admin. @ Nyttend: would you please delete "Commons:Deletion requests/Commons:Deletion requests/Commons:Deletion requests/User:Mandyadashiradisaibaba"?

• Got it. I'm left wondering how they got three separate Commons:Deletion requests/ in the page title :-) The individual files are easily in scope, so unless we find some copyright-related problem, there won't be a reason to delete all of them. There are a bunch of blurry and seemingly redundant images, so a DR for the poorer-quality ones might be reasonable, but any individual file is fine by itself, assuming no copyright issues.

@ DeltaQuad: Could you double check the name of the second confirmed account? When I go to check the contributions for Vinayrao1232 it tells me the account isn't registered. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 00:01, 14 August 2017 (UTC) reply

•  Clerk endorsed - to confirm and check for sleepers. We haven't ran checks for the last couple of rounds. They recreated the article with the old problem tags dated back to 2009. :) The article will need to be G5'd eventually.
