Khashayar Farzam

Hi, following on from your AfC decline, I wonder if there is anything that can be done about the ongoing situation of various socks trying to get this article into mainspace (and occasionally succeeding). I was under the impression that the article had been salted to prevent further re-creation. There is some relevant recent correspondence here [1] where a new user approaches Liz in an attempt to re-create the article, seeming to claim rather unconvincingly that they are not yet another Guptalab sock. Any input you can provide here would be most appreciated. Kind regards, Axad12 (talk) 23:43, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Axad12 We could request that it be protected again. Just to voice this now, I declined the draft due to sources not showing notability and I actually accidentally stumbled upon it when checking recent talkpage discussions for WPMED. I think whoever protected it assumed that whoever was trying to create it would give up. It would be fairly easy for a CU to check if that IP is the same as the previous accounts as using an IP gives away quite a bit of info. It's up to you how you want to proceed with this as I'm not quite sure what the best next steps are but those are my thoughts. IntentionallyDense (talk) 00:14, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me.

A couple of thoughts...

Is it possible to determine which admin unsalted the article? If this persistent sockmaster was prepared to approach one admin (Liz) to re-create the article then it's entirely possible that they set up another new account and approached two admins, or however many it may have taken until one of them unsalted the article.

Would it be possible for you to (a) request re-salting and (b) add the IP and the new user (the one at Liz's talk page) to the SPI. Unfortunately those are processes that I'm not familiar with, so any help here would be very welcome.

Best wishes, Axad12 (talk) 03:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I could start a topic at ANI to request that, it would just take me awhile to write up. For now I think it is probably okay to leave it as I doubt the draft will get past AFC due to notability issues. It appears that the page Khashayar Farzam is protected just not the draft of it. I'm not sure if drafts can or are routinely protected? IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:58, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm not at all familiar with the process of protecting articles in this way. I had assumed that the idea was that it prevented drafts from being re-created - and this was why the sock had approached Liz (i.e. because they had been unable to create a draft).

It seems that for reasons that I don't understand (from the comments at Liz's talk page) the user had been unable to recreate a draft on 14th Sept but by the 16th they had been able to do so. Hence my concern that they had contacted another admin in the interim period using another sock.

So, are you saying that in the event of the article passing AfC (which I agree is unlikely, but has happened on at least 2 occasions in the last 7 years) then the passing reviewer would then find it impossible to install the article in mainspace due to the protection?

That would make sense because if the sockmaster had been able to implement the draft into mainspace without using AfC then I've no doubt they would have tried to do so. AfC was presumably a means by which they had hoped to evade the protection.

However, I'm puzzled by the sock's comment that It appears the page is unlocked now. What was the difference between the situations on the 14th and on the 16th?

If you could raise the issue at ANI it would be much appreciated. The links I provided at the draft talkpage give the previous history, particularly the previous ANI thread.

Many thanks for your help here. Axad12 (talk) 04:17, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I'm also confused about the whole not able to create the draft then being able to. I'll raise the issue over at ANI and see what comes of it. IntentionallyDense (talk) 04:33, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I raised the issue at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Increase#Draft:Khashayar Farzam as that seemed to be the most appropriate avenue. IntentionallyDense (talk) 04:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
