First edits were to create User:Prince Rauf/sandbox, which is a duplicate of Draft:Zaleb Brown. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 17:23, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Of interest, though probably not of note, is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zaleb Brown after the draft was moved by the creating editor agsinst the advice of many revieweers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timtrent (talk • contribs) 10:09, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A likely addition to this sock farm. Please see the sockpuppetry report of 08 August 2020, not yet archived, for this puppet master, and the comment by Nathan2055 (pinged) there. Checkuser at your discretion. I hear quacking ducks Fiddle Faddle 08:00, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nathan2055: Josethewonderful is indeed Unrelated to FAHADChughtai123 from a technical point of view—they are on different continents. I'll copy what I wrote on my user talk page: Josethewonderful is Confirmed, however, to the following account: IamKhaleb (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). IamKhaleb also previously published a draft about the same topic (Caleb Joshua Brown) under the name Draft:Khaleb. The targeted interest in promoting this relatively obscure topic makes me suspect WP:UPE or other WP:COI-editing may be involved—it's possible Josethewonderful contracted FAHADChughtai123 to write an article about Zaleb Brown.

The master was very interested in pushing articles and drafts on one Zaleb Brown. The alleged sock has appeared and created an almost fully formed Draft:Zaleb Brown. If I had admin goggles I could see if this was substantially the same as the deleted article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zaleb Brown. My duck senses are tingling over this. I will leave it to you to decide if CU is worthwhile. I have not notified the new user. Fiddle Faddle 17:27, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this may instead be related to Josethewonderful, from a different sock family entirely (see this master's archive) Fiddle Faddle 17:30, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fahad Ayaaz was registered a week after the master was blocked by Mz7 and their first edit was to create their user page for "Keely Cat" whose photo (File:IMG-20200817-WA0010.jpg) was uploaded by the master on commons. GSS ^💬 13:14, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Magic admin goggles say that the draft is basically identical to the previous version of Zaleb Brown. Additionally, the master created Draft:Fahad Ayyaz...and have a look at the second sock's username. Looks like a duck to me indeed, Blocked and tagged, will G5 the draft.

Yet again Zaleb Brown rears his head, this time with IP SPAs. I'll leave any CU decisions to you. I imagine the contributions will have been deleted shortly. Fiddle Faddle 06:11, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This may also be a case for article and draft title filtering, but I have no idea where or how to request this Fiddle Faddle 06:39, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Both IPs blocked for 3 months. Zaleb Brown added to the title blacklist. Jackmcbarn (talk) 06:48, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
