Brand new account promoting Swaran Ghar just like the others. Likely just more meat/UPE but given that DMySon has since been blocked for socking/UPE, I thought this might be worth flagging in case new red flags. Star Mississippi 14:40, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Star Mississippi what is the connection to DMySon? -- RoySmith (talk) 15:27, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
it was DMySon who originally flagged it and I wondered if it was battling UPE farms, but turns out they were just tagging for G4, not any other issue. I misread log. Star Mississippi 15:39, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • AllAboutTelevision is   Confirmed to Insaanhuok from the archive, but that's about it. I'll leave it to a clerk to figure out where to go from there. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:32, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Insaanhuok and AllAboutTelevision have been indeffed by NinjaRobotPirate. Splitting this into a new case under Insaanhuok, not tagging as the blocking CU didn't do so. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 10:11, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Username parallel to and significant overlap with AllAboutTelevision. Imagine there are also sleepers beyond the IPs we haven't bothered blocking at Draft:Swaran Ghar. Star Mississippi 01:49, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recreated Canning Er Minu, which was originally created by prior sock ItsAllAboutLuck. Some overlap in articles, with this series [1] nearly identical to [2] from the prior sock. To be fair, that's pretty common formatting to see on Indian television articles. Recreating the article got me looking a bit more. There's a decent number of articles with small levels of intersection [3]. Ravensfire (talk) 04:47, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jha09 is already DE blocked, but a closer look at their contributions (see Draft talk:Swaran Ghar) especially this overlap with one of the prior socks and the disruptive naming/moving of Swaran Ghar article made the red flags go off. Sleeper check please and to CU block, if needed. Star Mississippi 00:21, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Unlikely from a technical standpoint. I suspect the article overlap is the result of shared interests rather than sockpuppetry. For instance, Jha09's edit summary usage displays idiosyncrasies that recent Insaanhuok socks have not displayed. Closing without action. Mz7 (talk) 09:07, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello SPI people. Could this account please be added to the report? Their username follows a pattern of other socks and over half of their articles (about relatively obscure drama shows on cable TV) are on the same articles as the sock Itsmestylish.

Disruptive moving, recreation of Swaran Ghar (Indian TV series) to evade SALT. For sleepers please. CC @Onel5969: Star Mississippi 15:02, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

thanks to @Liz's redirect clean up, I recalled we also had Draft:Swaran Ghar (TV series) if helpful to see the SALT evasion happening. Star Mississippi 00:38, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have added Jha09 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (already blocked by @Tamzin: for problematic editing last November) as it was some of their drafts that the new editor was mainspacing today. Disclosure, I IAR draftified two because we don't need seven days at AfD if these are G5. Star Mississippi 01:00, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This appears technically   Unrelated. Given the UPE activity, there's likely a contract out there somewhere which is why we have different sock groups and unrelated individuals clustering around the same draft.-- Ponyobons mots 21:45, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Closing. I don't think there's enough evidence to conclude that this is UPE WP:MEAT. While there may have been socking and UPE around this subject in the past, it's also a popular TV show from a major network. I don't find it unlikely that someone without a COI might try to write about it. Spicy (talk) 12:48, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
