[edit] Michael Demurjian
This alleged NFL player doesn't seem to turn up anywhere of substance in web searches; check the article talk page for some discussion. Some editors have expressed concern that this may be a hoax of some sort, and a discussion here would seem to be the best approach to determine if that's the case.

- Speedy Delete Definitely a hoax. Here is a list of every player to ever play a game for the Lions. Townlake (talk) 16:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- G3 Definitely a hoax. So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 16:09, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. Judging by what I read above, this is a hoax -- I can only say that this reference made me believe there might have been a shred of truth to it. I do recommend that we complete the AfD process, though, because that will dispose of this once and for all. Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to research this.

- Comment The autobiography on the dude's site says he was a "member of the team," which could I suppose mean he was a trainer or secretary or whatever (but which removes him from the notability requirements of ATHLETE). He sure as heck wasn't a fullback, as the Lions' published record confirms. I know there's no emergency to close this, but leaving this up for five days just seems to dignify the hoax.

- Comment I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I have no objection to early closing of this AfD ; I just want to be able to delete the article as a recreation of AfD'd material in the future, that's all, because it's simpler than going through this process again.

- Delete without prejudice as to whether or not it's a hoax; I don't necessarily agree with all the conclusions above but that doesn't make them wrong, either. Overriding point here is that he just isn't notable. Frank | talk 17:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- DeleteI reviewed the link that Acct4taste gave, and seeing nothing anywhere to either clarify or corroborate it, I have to say delete here. The reason people are inherently notable for being in the NFL is because there is always some way on confirming it. The google search for his name provides no evidence of this. Unless anything else comes up, this has gotta go. Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 17:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
