LucyLucy and Timberlack are what appear to be two sleepers, specifically at the Asif Kamal AFD, with relatively similar votes who were created within 5 days of one another in September 2017. They have virtually no activity until the last 5 days where they made a flurry of cookie cutter AFD votes that mirror one another. CUPIDICAE💕 16:16, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's also fairly obvious this is some sort of coordinated effort, each vote, particularly by LucyLucy is mirroring those directly above their vote almost word for word. CUPIDICAE💕 16:35, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please could Oshwah or MER-C take a look at AnotherEditor144 too. They are another recent account with lots of AFD activity and they posted a perfunctory WP:PERNOM following Doctorshub in at least one AfD. Andrew🐉(talk) 20:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely). They're in the same country and geolocation, and on the same common user agent. However, they're on various wide ranges that can cross over to one another easily. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:38, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oshwah I have found three more since filing this but WP is loading incredibly slow. I just wanted to note that I believe they should all be blocked as it's fairly obvious beyond any possible coincidence this is a coordinated operation. CUPIDICAE💕 16:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Praxidicae - Okay, sounds good. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:08, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • DoctorsHub recreated Special:Undelete/Anup Dhir, which is a Wikibaji article. LucyLucy created the spam page Special:Undelete/Heritage Xperiential Learning School. Timberlack is a self-confessed spammer. Whishworks created the spam page Special:Undelete/Whishworks. All blocked for spamming. Also blocked Tushar.ghone for spamming using the BolsaOObsequios technique and Ruqayya ansari for Special:Undelete/Rasha Kelej (Ceo), Special:Undelete/Rasha Kelej and Calvin Khiu, and SKSaqib who was the author of Asif Kamal.
  • The AFDs need decontaminating. The nominations should not be closed blindly because they might also be spam articles. MER-C 19:49, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • I went on a striking spree for the three socks and noted their UPE sock status for articles they nommed (since this technically doesn't meet WP:SKCRIT). Blablubbs|talk 20:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: Tagged. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:42, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I took a quick look at AnotherEditor144. Unlike all the other accounts mentioned here, they almost exclusively edit on weekends, and are the only user that uses discussiontools. Didn't look any further than that. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:42, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Editor Interaction timeline tool shows some evidence. ImNotAnEntrepreneur has also been acting funny since they created their account on Feb 28. They voted in deletion discussion of Salil Singhal and soon after voted in various other discussions, citing bogus reasoning. Dial911 (talk) 01:13, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: Given that the Timberlack and ImNotAnAnEntrepreneur voted opposite each other in the three AfDs they overlap on, I don't think they're related. Closing this without action. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:40, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
