Demetrios Farmakopoulos

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be a hoax article. From a look online, I can find absolutely nothing related to him at all, other than the usual mirrors etc. While I appreciate that not everything can be found online, I'd prefer some sources to confirm this as opposed to nothing. Mdann52 (talk) 17:17, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
