Non-notable voice actor ~~who never dubbed a notable character~~. No RS. Subject best suited for Wikia. Mottezen (talk) 05:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Never dubbed a notable character? He plays the main protagonist in YuYu Hakusho, which is a level 5 vital article. Not to mention he has a ton of other significant roles like Kirishima in My Hero Academia, Tsukutsun Tsun in Dr. Slump, Hatsuharu Soma in Fruits Basket, and Tamotsu Fukuda in ID – Invaded to name only a few.

User:Link20XX Thank you for pointing this out. I won't nominate an anime voice actors for deletion again because clearly I don't know what i'm talking about. I'll let this nomination run its course though because my No RS contention remains unresolved. In the end, that is the most important benchmark for notability. Mottezen (talk) 16:04, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article has some RS as-is (Anime News Network is generally reliable and Behind the Voice Actors is ok for series with the checkmark) but as per WP:NACTOR #1 Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. Even a primary source to verify the roles will be sufficient, we just need to prove they had them. Link20XX (talk) 16:41, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The ANN source is his resume and the Behind the Voice Actors source is a list of cast members for a show. Mottezen (talk) 02:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NACTOR. This nomination has been partially withdrawn; Mottezen might like to consider withdrawing it so that it can be closed. Nothing wrong with a misunderstanding. St★lwart¹¹¹ 01:33, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not withdrawing the nomination because I can't find a single line of prose written on this person anywhere else on the internet. When there is so little sourcing available, SNGs are insufficient to establish notability. Mottezen (talk) 02:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - SNGs are insufficient to establish notability is simply false. As per WP:N, A topic is presumed to merit an article if it meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG) listed in the box on the right; and it is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy. By commenting on the SNG, I assume you acknowledge Cook meets NACTOR, which means you admit they are notable. I suggest you withdraw this nomination.

    - "Presumed" doesn't mean "definitely is". Read a bit further in WP:N: articles which pass an SNG or the GNG may still be deleted or merged into another article, especially if adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found. With current sourcing, this is one of those cases. Mottezen (talk) 04:19, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - You clearly didn't do a WP:BEFORE search. I just spent 5 minutes and already found several good sources from Anime News Network (1, 2, 3, among others) and his BTVA page here, which is reliable for all the roles with green check marks. Additionally, it just says may not will, and as I have shown in just 5 minutes of looking, sources certainly exist. Worst case, we could just cite the episode credits, but this is still a way to prove their roles, which is all that is required to do to meet the SNG.

        Please assume good faith, do not brag, improve your understanding of deletion policies, and look up the definition of the word may. Mottezen (talk) 00:07, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
