I tried to prod this article 2 and half years ago but it didn't work, I thought the article was about a title and not a person which was why I removed the categories, but I now realise that I was wrong and the article is about a person. Today, I redirected the article to Traditional chiefs of Palau, but it wasn't mentioned there and so I googled the person and couldn't find anything. I then attempted to speedily delete the article as vandalism/hoax which was probably a bad idea. (thanks @Bbb23: for reverting). Anyway the point is this person fails the notability guidelines.

Comment: Some coverage ([1][2][3]) but nothing particularly signfiicant online. Died in September 2011. The most I could find online was from the Marsh article, which states: Beouch Sakaziro Demk, 91, the first ranking chief of Ngardmau, passed away in September. He was of such distinguished merit that the National Congress honored him with a joint resolution attesting to his great community service, oratorical skills, and deep knowledge of traditions and culture. Seems to have been important, so this may be a case of Palauan sources not being available. Curbon7 (talk) 20:41, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Another detail: per this article, the chiefs of Ngardmau form a House of Lords in the state legislature with the power to suspend any law, but I was not able to find a source which states whether or not Demk was a member of this body. Curbon7 (talk) 20:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Curbon7: thank you for proving that the person is real, but until enough sources can be found I believe it should be redirected to Traditional chiefs of Palau as I added the person to the table. Sahaib (talk) 21:37, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
