Unable to find reliable, secondary sources to evidence the notability or existence of this voice actress. Some Anime News Network encyc listings, but by precedent those aren't considered WP:RS. Nothing in news/reviews sections at NN, nothing I could find reliable via Gweb/Gnews/Gbooks. Sourcing difficulty increased by the signficantly larger amount of coverage on the physician and the Olympic sailor of the same name. Additional sources welcome, as always. joe deckertalk to me 17:13, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Does not meet WP:GNG; I see no evidence in the article or via Google that Ana Lobo has received WP:SIGCOV. Without getting into guideline 1 of WP:NACTOR, I see no reason to believe guideline 2 or 3 holds in this case. Finally, the article itself appears to contain factual inaccuracies. Melissa Fahn voiced the character Gaz in Invader Zim, a fact which I confirmed at quick glance. Sailing to Byzantium (talk) 17:25, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment StB: It may still be partially accurate, what I've noticed in listings like this, when I *can* track them down, is that they are often recounting the dubbing of something into another language. E.g., this might be the voice actor used for the Spanish dubbing of Invader Zim. That doesn't excuse that this is an unsourced BLP, nor does it excuse the resulting promotional bias that omission results in, but it may still be that the listing is partially accurate. Still, without reliable sources, how are we to know? --joe deckertalk to me 17:42, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Ah, excellent point! I failed to consider that she could have done the character in another language. Going to stick with my vote to delete though, per my other reasons and those that you've pointed out. Sailing to Byzantium (talk) 17:48, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. Funny, I had just finished searching for a similar AfD when I came across this one. Here are some links that I could find about Ana Lobo, although I'm not sure if they could be used as reliable sources for verifiability [1] [2]. There is also this, [3], which is a very comprehensive website with information on voice actors for a large number of shows, but it is maintained by a single person. I can't put a link to the search results because freefind is blacklisted, but you can get them by searching for "Ana Lobo" on the left frame. Regarding notability, it is rare for voice actors in Mexico to receive any mainstream coverage, even for those actors that are fairly known by the general public, so my opinion is that in these cases it is best to go for WP:NACTOR #1. With Maru Guerrero I think that the roles she has played are important enough so to satisfy the criteria, but in this case I'm not familiar with the programs, so I can't say how significant the characters are - frankie (talk) 20:42, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete If this had been the University of Lisbon professor, or the Andalusian yachtswoman, there'd be more coverage, but I'm not finding the significant coverage of this actress at independent reliable sources PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 14:22, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
