Hope this finds you well? Can you help run a check on this user, I am convinced this maybe a UPE. I had already move an article or two which they created to draft previously. If you take a look at his recent creation here I noticed that less than a day after the page is created another user comes along and adds a photo which had also been uploaded on August 10. I believe this two users are the same people as they edit on the same interest see here an article which they moved from draft without review. Also see here. Let me know if am right.

@Bradv if that is viable then would help because certainly all their creations are either Non-notable artiste or a bunch of paid PR pieces. Also this other user has the same traits as mevoleo. Creating non-notable subjects, my only connection which am not saying is right is User:Reading Beans reviewing all their articles even the non-notable ones with little or no RS like here as well as other articles from both users.

Also Onosco pops up after a short break only to vote keep at an AFD here. For Vanderwaalforces, they are definitely not new and this is not their first account. Their first 50 edits and they already know there's a tag for "citation needed" like here Jamiebuba (talk) 06:56, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possible, but not at all conclusive. Any blocks will likely need to be done based on behaviour, although I'm happy to have another CU check to see if I missed anything. – bradv 20:16, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On hold - Onosco23, MercifulEmma: Would you mind explaining how did you get to Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Pankaj Choudhary (professor) (2nd nomination) and what relation do you have with Syed amjad08? Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 20:43, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Given the AFD, it looks like there was at least some canvassing and meatpuppetry. I sent warnings to Onosco23 and MercifulEmma. Closing without further action. MarioGom (talk) 19:15, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
