Diacritics in spanish is simple, and Marte is a very common Last Name in the Dominican Republic and around Latin America. Marte is written always without accent. User
Yankees10 is wrong when reverting the deletion of the redirect. It should be fixed. In the External links of Alfredo Marte, neither of them appear to be Alfredo Marté.

Alfredo Marté →
Alfredo Marte – I made this move by request, and it was reverted, so
time to discuss. Justification for move: per
WP:COMMONNAME: "Wikipedia... prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This includes usage in the sources used as references for the article." All three of the article's references, and all the first page of
Google hits have him as "Marte" with no accent.

Support - Not because of
WP:COMMONNAME which is about not using Alfredo Marte's maternal name (which isn't in the lede but example is Dámaso Marte not Dámaso Marte Sabiñón) or middle name (Andy Marte not Andy Manuel Marte) and has nothing to do with Dominican accents, and also not because of English sources (since sports sources invariably fail
WP:RS for Spanish names), but because Spanish sources show the correct name to be "Marte." This an example of why
BLPs should have at least one local language source.

He was actually only named in articles 2 and 5 of that list, but I've done it. Nice to have no aggravation and xenophobic harassment over spelling a foreigner's name correctly for once.
