Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result of the discussion was: both Speedied as hoaxes (CSD G3). The word "Arabic" in the "Ben Henson" draft, for a player with an English-language name born and playing in New Zealand, is an artifact evidencing that the text was clumsily copied from elsewhere. Since that page is a sandbox, I might let it go as test editing were it not for the Gack Jray draft article. The latter is an even more blatant hoax: the name "Gack Jray" does not appear anywhere on the entire Internet other than this page, and is obviously a spoonerism of "Jack Gray." I will leave the question of whether to block or final-warn the hoax-creator to another admin. Newyorkbrad ( talk) 22:03, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

I suspect that both of these may be hoaxes. User:Footballwiz08/sandbox is about a goalkeeper named Ben Henson, but I can't find any goalkeeper with that name, and checking the Wayback Machine for the provided reference reveals a player with a different name, team, and year of birth. Draft:Gack Jray is about a midfielder named Gack Jray, but the name "Gack Jray" does not appear anywhere in the single reference cited there, and a search for it yields zero results other than from Wikipedia itself.
