Two accounts teaming up for obvious UPE on Shahzad Ashfaq and Draft:EWorldTrade, with the alleged sock removing the AFD tag from the former and the alleged master repeatedly moving the latter into articlespace. Requesting a check to determine whether this is socking or meatpuppetry. Thanks, GAB^gab 01:32, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

•  Clerk endorsed - Please compare to past socks. Thanks, GAB^gab 20:52, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Likely based on user agent (common one, though),  Inconclusive because using a webhost. At least a couple of blocked socks from the archive have used a proxy, but unlike SOADNik, they also used IPs from their true location.  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:49, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
  • I've blocked. Hiding behind a webhost and undisclosed paid advertising go hand in hand. Maybe they're getting better at op-sec. MER-C 12:34, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
• Tagged and closing. GAB^gab 16:22, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
