There are two Articles for Deletion (AFD) nominations: Abhishek Malhan and Elvish Yadav.

Both pages were nominated for AfD by Xegma Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elvish Yadav (2nd nomination)Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abhishek Malhan (2nd nomination), and now the same pages have been nominated for AfD by Bharat GangulyWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elvish Yadav (3rd nomination)Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abhishek Malhan (3rd nomination)

One common factor between the two is that Xegma’s user page mentions being a Female [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Xegma&diff=prev&oldid=1161034430] from Kolkata [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Xegma&diff=prev&oldid=1166245291] (West Bengal), but the AFD discussion for Taabii suggests Xegma is a Malehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Susovan_Roy_(2nd_nomination). Meanwhile, Bharat Ganguly is a name associated with West Bengal, and this user has recently changed their name. The Bharat Ganguly account became active only after Xegma was blocked, and it nominated the same AFDs, leading me to suspect they might be the same person.

Additionally, the Blogs19[https://xtools.wmcloud.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/Blogs19] and Bharat Ganguly[https://xtools.wmcloud.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/The_Red_Archive] accounts were registered on the same day, with only a one-hour difference. SachinSwami (talk) 20:29, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

I think sleepers may be here associated with this LTA and a CU run should be done. Agent 007 (talk) 04:56, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

• Funny, that name showed up in a request for assistance with WhiteReaperPM also. CUs see ticket:2025052810027597. Izno (talk) 21:59, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
• They're WhiteReaperPM, not Blogs19. Blocked as part of that case, closing this report. Girth Summit _(blether) 12:38, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
