All SPAs, Martin Landau created Global Child Prodigy Awards and the master voted to keep in the AfD. ProdipMombai uploaded this image which ML used in his article. All other three users made no edits outside Soborno Isaac Bari which was created by Yessir123981.
As per some off-wiki evidence, the master is the co-founder of GCP Awards and only here to promote this event using sock/meat accounts. I'm not allowed to post those evidence here per WP:OUTING, but one can see by Googling the username +"Global Child Prodigy Awards". GSS 💬 05:40, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

- Thanks to User:GSS for elucidiating this. It confirms what I was putting together myself after seeing the repeating patterns associated with edits and contents of Global Child Prodigy Awards which I have sent for AfD, as it seems to be purely promotional. I am convinced tht you are right.--Smerus (talk) 09:48, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
- Another suspicious user, GyllenhalMike (talk · · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), has voted keep at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Soborno Isaac Bari, along with Yessir123981. And master has voted keep at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Global Child Prodigy Awards. I also requested CU with this edit. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

- LaLa Land314 is
Stale. Martin Landau and ProdipMombai are
Unlikely (but plausible) to each other. The other accounts are all
Unrelated. ST47 (talk) 21:14, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Awaiting administrative action - Behaviorally it looks like L2pkpandey and GyllenhalMike are same person (comparing how they both signed in those afd's) and Martin Landau too. Even if that is little evidence GyllenhalMike seems like a UPE. I am little unsure about Martin Landau but as they were the one created that award page, I see another UPE here or possibly L2pkpandey (CEO of that award). Rest the accounts seems to be WP:MEAT, and haven't edited since that the article was on AfD. So I am requesting to indef all of the account except the stale one (LaLa Land314). ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:56, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Curljhung creates Soborno Isaac Bari, previously created by L2pkpandey sock Yessir123981.
Also, Curljhung's first edit is to Draft:Autria Godfrey, created by check-user-blocked Carsgarden. I've no idea if this editor is connected to L2pkpandey. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:55, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

This is what I was trying to request. Terimaki101 has created Draft:Cognitive Natural Language Processing. This title was deleted as G5 a few days ago after creation by a sockpuppet of L2pkpandey. Request microscopic examination of the feathers. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:55, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't know if this is meat puppetry or what but Dumbo-buzo has recreated a nearly completely identical version of Yaacov Heller, previously created by Curljhung even down to the lack of bolding to start out the lead. Praxidicae (talk) 17:50, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- I realized after filing this that Curljhungn was actually unrelated to L2pkpandey but confirmed to be a (generic?) sock, so perhaps this should be moved to an SPI for them. This user is clearly the same as Curljhung, however. Praxidicae (talk) 17:52, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Unrelated to L2pkpandey (cf. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/L2pkpandey/Archive#10 April 2020). There's no obvious sleepers at first glance. It's possible there are some, but there is enough traffic on the underlying IPs that it may be more effective to find them by behavior as they show up. Maxim(talk) 00:06, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
Clerk note: @Callanecc: In the archives, Curljhung and Jhindermahal were confirmed to each other, but unrelated to L2pkpandey. Now we've got Curljhung confirmed to Dumbo-buzo, and still unrelated to L2pkpandey. I recommend creating a new case under Dumbo-buzo (the oldest of the three) and tagging all three as confirmed to each other. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:05, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

This is yet another copy of Cognitive Natural Language Processing, which was previously submitted by Terimaki101, who was found to be a sock.
The issue isn't the subject as such, because natural language processing is cognitive, but there seems to be a particular charlatan here using marketing buzzspeak to amaze and confuse. Robert McClenon (talk) 12:56, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cognitive natural language processing, who may have been another sock. Robert McClenon (talk) 13:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

- Terimaki101 (talk · · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

- might be worth a look. Those we broken off into another case, but they had similar behavior, so it's possible Honey011 fits into that group. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:36, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

- Your two groups (Terimaki vs. Curljhung et. al.) are
Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely). -- Amanda (aka DQ) 03:06, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
Clerk note: There's clearly some kind of UPE/sock/meat going on, but clearly not enough evidence to definitively nail down. I've G4'd Draft:Cognitive Natural Language Processing and dropped uw-agf-sock on Honey011. Noting for record that Dumbo-buzo may indeed be part of this farm, and should be considered in future investigations. The technical data unearthed by different CUs is conflicting. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:27, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

- In view of the history, CheckUser to look for additional socks would be useful. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:21, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - The quick edits to get autoconfirmed on the day Ajit.rox28 was created, then no action for 5 months is certainly sock-indicative. The multiple user page rants on 2020-06-19 about Global Child Prodigies ties it to L2pkpandey. There was some suspicion that Dumbo-buzo may be related, so checking against Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dumbo-buzo/Archive might also be worth doing. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:29, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Possible, but nothing more.
Inconclusive wrt Dumbo-buzo. Salvio 16:01, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
