  • Seems obvious to me that this is Sabeeel43 logged out. Exact same edits made to these articles and these are the only edits from this IP. I believe something about ducks with megaphones is traditional at this point? Sparthorse (talk) 19:31, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • The quacking is deafening indeed. They either use megaphones or industrial-strength amplifiers with matching speakers. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 19:54, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clear evidence that this user is User:Sabi43 and User:Sabeeel43, evading their blocks. Apart from the similar usernames (Sabeel is from Pakistan), they are editing the same articles (e.g. Amanat Ali) and there is This edit directing message from Sabpk back to Sabi43.

Rai sajjad, first edit on 23rd, single purpose account going only to AFD, (and own user page)

Printing Parlor, created on 17th, did mass welcome template, comments to bilal khan, then AFD commenting

Amir Mumtaz Ansari also created on 17th, mass of welcome templates, then edits to bilal khan and AFD

pupeteer shows pattern of doing mass welcome templates, which lends evidence towards printing parlor, and amir mumtaz ansari. Gaijin42 (talk) 18:11, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, this article is a recreation of a previous article, and the original article was created by a known sock. User:Sabi43

  • Comment I would simply endorse the arguments made by the nominator. I checked the various edit histories myself and they seem suspiciously similar. Safiel (talk) 20:28, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I compared the two versions of that Balil Khan article and while both were promotional and poorly written, I couldn't say that there was quacking involved--but I have not compared the rest of the accounts' histories. I hope CU will give a clear answer. Drmies (talk) 03:59, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Giving diffs may help. Cool Angel created article Bilal Khan (singer) on 23rd March. Gaijin42 tagged it for Speedy deletion (A7). This tag was removed by Cool Angel and restored by SDPatrolBot with a warning. In about 7 minutes this tag was again removed, this time by Amir Mumtaz Ansari who came online(did editing) after a week straight to this article. Now Gaijin42 nominated it for deletion using AFD. At AFD all the suspected puppets voted (saying voted as all have presented almost same argument, without citing any relevant Wiki-policy) in this order Cool Angel, Amir Mumtaz Ansari, Printing Parlor, Rai Sajjad within 2hours the same day. Moreover as already stated above, all the suspected puppets have identical behavior before this AFD too. All of them after creating their account, created their userpage (and talk page) by writing welcome or hi either in English or Roman Urdu. Amir Mumtaz Ansari and Printing Parlor also welcomed newbies using Twinkle, which the suspected master also very oftenly do. One thing which I forgot to tell is that all the puppets were created before this AFD. --SMS Talk 08:10, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks CU--and Gaijin, well done. Your instincts were correct. Drmies (talk) 13:16, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Like the previous sockpuppet Cool Angel, Sabeel Fsd also did same format changes at the article Navya..Naye Dhadkan Naye Sawaal. Besides this user also has a similar name to the master. There is another user having similar username Sabeel Hussain Photography, who added an image to the article Amanat Ali (singer), that was removed but was restored by Sabeel Fsd. CU data might be stale for comparison with previous socks and master but these new socks can be compared with each other.

Another similarity between these users and previous socks and the master himself have been adding image of the subject at the article Amanat Ali (singer), that has repeatedly been deleted. SMS Talk 12:46, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
