- Following are
Confirmed to each other: Wikibot91, Hansoltokjtiji, Hanistermalo29384, Pontenopoles11009, Quanstzurri998 & HaLIHianl. Kanimultan is
Stale but the behaviour makes it look very likely. Janistuon is technically
Unrelated but the behaviour makes me think this is meatpuppetry.
Blocked and tagged. Closing.

After page protection and a bunch of accounts blocked, two IPs have appeared at
Talk:Dadvan Yousuf. Obvious block evasion is obvious.

brand new account yesterday created a Teahouse post wanting to add an image to Dadvan Yousuf. Today an IP claiming to be the brand new account has made a new post claiming misinformation surrounding the same thing as the socks about the controversy bottom paragraph.

- Now I am sad I went into the Teahouse conversation in good faith :( It does look like they are the problematic sockpuppets. I hope my language cleanup edits to the article, were okay, and hopefully VioKleraBam can make some good amendments?

reply
- I think VioKleraBam may be a sock, before today they last edited march 2022 then conveniently returned the same day as the IP and also used the "WP:NPOV" edit summary of confirmed socks back in 2022 as well, also claiming that the paragraph is sourced only to Inside Paradeplatz and that Inside Paradeplatz is unreliable for some reason.

Kcosip seems to be the oldest of a series of socks fluffing up
Dadvan Yousuf. It's all in such poor taste. The editor must have forgotten their old passwords, and so revealed Kcosip, Vahieran, and Imhatm. I see no technical connection to
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kanimultan--but if we were to judge on behavior (including phrasing and other habits) I'd have them blocked per DUCK. (See also comments by
User:Lavalizard101.)

- Actually, scratch that. Looking more closely, the other account is on the same IP, and using an identical UA, but there's a couple of weeks in between the edits and the behaviour looks very different. I think it's more likely either a shared device, or just coincidence about the UA. Blocking this account, closing.

Just a few days after semi-protection has expired a bunch of new accounts show up at
Dadvan Yousuf over a few days, a favourite page of the sock master. One of which (Dennisr1201) was created back in July before the first round of socking got caught, but didn't edit the page until a few days ago.

Jansaberzutni just immediately started with (
[7]) removing the AFD notice of
Dadvan Yousuf, one of this sockpuppet's favourite to edit articles, before (
[8]) adding what appeared to be a word soup of Wikipedia-related jargon.
The IP also seems to be adding comments with no substance (
[9],
[10]). —Matrix(!) (
a good person!)

There is no doubt in my mind that Jansaberzutni is another sock, "reasserting" notability as if they've been here forever. Sprezzio, IMO, is a sleeper account created at the same time, and is therefore CU blocked.
