Shubh2545 created the Border Roads Engineering Services an organisation they work for [1]. They nominated the article for Good article review on the 2 February 2019.[2] On the 18 February a user who had just started editing the article five days earlier passed the review.[3]. Given the similar formatting of the names, the fact that a new user finds there way to open a Good Article review, the COI, the promotional nature of the article and the lack of any meaningful comments in the review I suspect these might be the same person, or possibly meat puppets working for the same company.

Could Talk:Border Roads Engineering Services/GA1 be deleted as part of the process thanks. AIRcorn (talk) 17:26, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - Please check these accounts per self-admitted COI and socking concerns. Shubh2545 has been around for quite a while, too. Thanks, GAB^gab 13:54, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed with No sleepers immediately visible. GeneralizationsAreBad, I'll let you decide how to handle the blocks. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:47, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While this is a first offense, given the deliberate deception, COI, clear promotional intent, and absence of significant contributions outside of BRES, I've indeffed the master. I've also deleted their spurious GAR and delisted the article. GAB^gab 18:50, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
