Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Third creation of an article previously deleted twice at Rayge DeMarco (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rayge DeMarco (2nd nomination)), Mr. DeMarco's professional name as a musician. Those articles were speedily deleted, due to a complete lack of verifiable sources – the current recreation omits Mr. DeMarco's entirely non-notable musical career, but reinstates his supposed hockey career, using a different source. However, an inspection of the "Hockey Database" website cited as a reference shows that it is in fact a single page created on a Weebly blog-hosting site, and there are no other entries in the "database" – in other words, it's fake. As stated in the previous AfD for Rayge DeMarco, Mr. DeMarco's supposed hockey career consisted of playing for two teams in a minor professional hockey league, but a search on HockeyDB.com (a genuine database of hockey players) shows that his name does not appear on it. In short, the whole article appears to be fake, and given its history, salting may be required for various permutations of the name. Article was created by an editor now banned for using multiple sock accounts. Richard3120 (talk) 22:02, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This person is not a notable athlete (and is also not a notable musician). I did a careful Google search. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 23:00, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt. Searches turned up zero to show notability in any category, WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO, or WP:NHOCKEY. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:42, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete if the claim to notability is fake and completely unsupported in any way, then delete with extreme prejudice. TastyPoutine ^{talk (if you dare)} 12:43, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails both WP:GNG and WP:NHOCKEY. Article may be a hoax based on research by Richard3120 and the fact that he's not mentioned among the nearly 637,000 hockey players listed at eliteprospects.com . Papaursa (talk) 18:36, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as Papaursa writes. Couldn't find reliable source articles about him. --GRuban (talk) 17:02, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt. A WP:BEFORE found not reference. Fails WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO, or WP:NHOCKEY and source provided probably a fault web site. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 15:27, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NHOCKEY due to the clear lack of sources talking about the subject in great detail. possible WP:VANISPAM--DBig Xrayᗙ 19:13, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete under G4. Ifnord (talk) 16:46, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
