Same field of interest/edits: indian banking, articles related to Indian government, including biographies. Similar langauge/vocabulary. Only two users who voted keep at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deepak Singhal (banker). —usernamekiran(talk) 10:57, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@NinjaRobotPirate: did all of them have same UA, or different UA being used alternatively by multiple accounts? I have a doubt that this can be either a PR firm, or employees of some office. I'm not sure how to put my doubts/thoughts in words though. —usernamekiran(talk) 12:19, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

Clerk endorsed - to compare with each other and to find others. Not sure if this is DUCK level evidence but perhaps. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 23:53, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like this has been going on for years, so I'll indefinitely block them all. Lovaananda seems to be oldest account, so a clerk may wish to rename this case. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:26, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose it could be a ring of paid editors or something like that, but they're all indistinguishable from each other. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:10, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Closing. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 18:05, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
