The possible sock Syoz joined Wikipedia on 1st February 2021 and three of the first four edits of them are AfD keep votes . Furthermore, their voting rationale including way of putting ref link etc are giving impression that they are sock of Mapd43 ☆★Mamushir (✉✉) 19:09, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments[edit]

Clerk endorsed - seems plausible, and as both accounts were commenting at the AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lahari Shari) I'm therefore endorsing for CU. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 19:29, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note here where Mapd says "I have also checked other references that show the subject's profile is in strong position to stay on Wikipedia." Compare to this edit, where Syoz says "the subject seems to be holding strong position to stay on Wikipedia". Leaning toward duck, but I'm personally curious if there are other accounts related, since this is giving off UPE vibes. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:41, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, rather ducky as you say. Given the mentioned UPE vibes, this could be related to a sock farm. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 20:44, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely), leaning Likely. Same country, different geolocations (though somewhat close) and different ranges. Same common user agents. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:32, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Blocking both indef. Using a sock to vote in an AfD for an article you created is definitely disruptive and when they use both accounts to vote you cannot assume good faith. Evidence and CU result suggests so. Tagged. Close. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 21:52, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
