Dolores Rogers[edit]

Contested prod. I reiterate my reason for prodding: I cannot find any reliable secondary sources (as shown [1] and [2]) that can establish any notability of this living person. No logical place for a merge or redirection. (Note that this is different from the artist of the same name.)

The lone source added after the prod removal is from a fan-made wiki and hence is not reliable per the reliable source guideline or the verifiability policy. MuZemike 21:59, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep - Dolores Rogers more than passes the notability threshold of WP:ENTERTAINER which requires that she has:
a) had significant roles in multiple notable (other) productions: of which the Mario video game series certainly qualifies as a "notable production" and her voice roles in these games are certainly significant; if that is not enough, then;
b) a large fan base or a significant "cult" following: for which the Mario gamers certainly have a cult following; if that is not enough, then:
c) made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment: which is again true for Dolores Rogers who has clearly made prolific and unique contributions to the video game voice over field of entertainment.
Clearly, for the reasons outlines above, Dolores Rogers is notable per WP:ENTERTAINER, and therefore she is a Strong Keep. I consider IMDB.com to be a reliable secondary source for an entertainer's credits. Esasus (talk) 00:01, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Lacks the appropriate coverage from reliable sources, as nominator demonstrated, and doesn't meet WP:ENTERTAINER. This is all the mention of her Wiki really requires.  Mbinebri  talk ← 04:19, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or redirect to Bowser_Jr#Bowser_Jr. (as her primary voice acting role). Verifiablity is the main issue here. Also, of the points mentioned by Esasus:
a) indicates that she should certainly be mentioned in the articles for the works she has appeared in. However, this is not a "significant role".
b) WP:ENTERTAINER asks that the person has a large fan base, not the work itself.
c) her list of acting roles does not suggest anything unique or innovative; 10 roles between 2001 and 2006 is not "prolific".
So as far as I can tell, the article fails the notability guideline on all three counts. Marasmusine (talk) 10:43, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for reasons well-outlined above. Adam Zel (talk) 14:13, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
