ANN role analysis:

1) Zero Enma (Candidate for Goddess - main)

2) Tatsuki Kuroi (Super Gals - main)

Only two main roles, on top of no secondary news sources to assert notability. Article is a credits dump with no room for improvement at all.

Weak keep In addition to Pilot Candidate / The Candidate for Goddess and Super GALS!, he voices main characters Cisca Kanzaki in Starship Operators and Firion in Final Fantasy II and Origins [1] I'm not sure if there are sufficient biographical sources though. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:10, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is no room for improvement to write a sufficient bio. Even if we kept the article, it would still fail WP:BIO and WP:WHYN. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 00:39, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Firion is an incredibly minor role in this case. Gameplay is unvoiced, just like the Wonderswan version the game is ported from. Voice acting is only in FMV and there aren't exactly many of them - 1 as far as I can tell (its been a long time since I played it).SephyTheThird (talk) 21:53, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair. Kind of like that girl who voices Zelda or the guy that voices Donkey Kong. They speak?! AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:14, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Which is precisely why I've nommed the article for deletion. No reason to keep an article for a voice actor that's only literally known for two or three series that aren't very well known. Besides, as I've mentioned before, it will fail WP:BIO either way. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 01:37, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep There are sources in Japanese that may, shed some more light on his bio. Just because there aren't sources in English doesn't mean there aren't sources. --Adam in MO Talk 03:50, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Barely any, unfortunately. Also, what you just said is WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES right there. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 13:42, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can find no Japanese sources which can be used to establish notability. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:26, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I trust Nihonjoe on this one as it looks like he looked for sources but came up empty. I have no objections to someone placing this article into a draft user-page though for possible future improvements. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:24, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
