Does not appear to meet WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. It has no reliable sources, despite being tagged for notability for over six years. Boleyn (talk) 20:21, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Let this page stay. He's a talented voice actor and has done voice work in a lot of cartoons that are recorded in Vancouver. --Rtkat3 (talk) 20:40, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, how talented or prolific he is is irrelevant to his notability (see WP:ILIKEIT). Jinkinson talk to me 21:41, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Rtkat3, I believe you are the creator, do you have any reliable sources to support your claim that he meets WP:ENT? Which section of WP:ENT do you feel he meets? Boleyn (talk) 07:39, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep: As Rtkat3 pointed out, he passes WP:ENTERTAINER. - FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 01:26, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:FilmandTVFan28, do you have any reliable sources to support your claim that he meets WP:ENT? Which section of WP:ENT do you feel he meets? Boleyn (talk) 07:39, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To answer the next question, I feel that he meets sections 1 and 3 of WP:ENT. He has made a lot contributions for cartoons in North America and around the world. - FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 09:16, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ENT requires that the assertion is supported by a reliable source — no number of film or television roles, not even a million, passes ENT if the article is unsourced. Bearcat (talk) 21:49, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm not seeing any sources posted here, and I haven't found any. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:30, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As noted by others, it doesn't have any sources. Honestly, the article isn't very encyclopedic either. It's basically a listing of every movie he's been in... that's an IMDB page, not a wikipedia article. BMIComp 04:37, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

An actor does not automatically pass WP:ENTERTAINER just because you can list roles that he's played — it's a function of the quality of reliable sources that can or cannot be added to support the assertion. But there's not a single source here that supports an article (the existence of a page on IMDb does not count as sourcing.) No prejudice against recreation in the future if actual sourcing starts showing up, but in this state it's a delete. Bearcat (talk) 21:48, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
