Lack of independent notability for this pop group member; this should be redirected to the group (Iris (Japanese band)). Redirect keeps being reverted by author, so bringing it here for determination. Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:06, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The subject meets NACTOR outside of the Iris context: major characters in Dance with Devils, Izetta: The Last Witch, Land of the Lustrous, ReLife, How to Keep a Mummy, Magical GIrl Site and Magical Sempai (the first two anime listed define her as the primary protagonist). Also Oricon search gives me a single for Akaneya's Magical Girl Site solo song, so it should also pass WP:NSINGER 2. So yeah, I found enough solo notability. ミラ P 20:25, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So... a bunch of passing mentions? That does not cut the mustard, I am afraid. There needs to be better coverage than "voiced character X" to contribute towards a WP:NACTOR threshold. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:56, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well yes and no, if you take the singer's Japanese name and add the Japanese names of the major characters involved you get hits. English sources are preferred, but major Japanese ones cant be discounted. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:12, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as I found some additional information. She won an award for voice acting at the Seiyu Awards [1], has appeared on Nippon TV [2], and did an interview for Natalie. [3] With all of the major roles for characters, it just adds to more potential information out there. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:05, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good stuff; the award is a nice find, and that's not a bad interview either (less promo than these tend to be). Cheers. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:21, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree, the subject specific guideline for voice actors is met, multiple notable roles in notable series. Dream Focus 13:18, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. She won an award for voice acting, so the subject meets NACTOR, multiple notable roles in notable series. --SalmanZ (talk) 23:25, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Knowledgekid87's comments. --Wario-Man (talk) 08:45, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
