Article appears to have been created as a joke/hoax in 2005. I can find no mention of this person's existence outside wikipedia. El Pharao (talk) 13:24, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A few Google searches pull up no results for him. If he was who he is stated to be, there would surely be at least one result. I checked the contributions of the original author, and they had only made two contributions. One was the creation of this article, and the other was vandalism to the PlayStation 2 page. [1] If no sources can be found on him, no citations can be added, and the page cannot be verified. The Council of Seraphim | speak before the Council 13:50, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete - Complete lack of verifiability, likely madeup. --MuZemike 16:22, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. After 16 years, this article has still never had any sources provided, and I can't find any myself. When this article is deleted, it may qualify to be the second-longest running hoax article known to Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:38, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and send to the hoax list. wizzito | say hello! 03:05, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
