Is this a notable name? I do not see any real person with this name. Ymblanter (talk) 08:06, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - ok... sorry for three consecutive edits. I searched for the name and initially thought there were people with this name, but I must have been misspelling it. As I do not see anyone with this name on WP, delete. It does not appear to be a notable name and is unfit for a DAB page. Further, creator appears to have created the article to promote their deviant art account. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 13:07, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Mariko (given name), the name Marico, is a rare variant of the original spelling. Kaithehedgefox (talk) 15:55, 20 March 2019 (UTC)kaithehedgefoxKaithehedgefox (talk) 15:55, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your contention in the article is that Marico "It comes from a misspelling of the Italian name Mario." How can it also be a variant of a Japanese given name? It almost seems like you're making things up... ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 16:57, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's variant because it's also an alternative spelling of Marico. The reason why it's a unisex name because it ends in -co/-ko. Kaithehedgefox (talk) 18:49, 20 March 2019 (UTC)kaithehedgefoxKaithehedgefox (talk) 18:49, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a clear effort to use Wikipedia as a means of promotion for an art project. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion (see WP:NOTPROMO). Additionally, the remaining article text is unsourced WP:OR, which is also prohibited by policy. Finally, I note that the suggestion to redirect above comes from the article creator, an editor whose talk page is littered with notices of deleted redirects that they have previously created. There has been enough time wasted here, I think. Bakazaka (talk) 22:54, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
