Delete. Fails WP:GNG and appears to fail WP:NACTOR. Ladonna Compson appears to be a minor character, having only appeared in 12 episodes over six years, according to IMDb. Tina Kwee appears to be her most notable role. The character is listed as a main character in Detentionaire#Main_characters, but from her IMDb page it looks like she was only in two of the show's four seasons. Not enough to meet NACTOR. userdude 20:02, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: IMDb is questionable in general, but for animated series in particular it is often downright unreliable. @User:UserDude: If you check the later episodes you're referring to, you'll see that almost no voice actors at all are credited for them – sadly a very common situation for cartoons on that site. In fact, Tina is not only a major character in all four seasons, but actually grows in prominence throughout the series, up to and including the finale.

Ah, thanks. Still, I'm not convinced she meets WP:NACTOR#1. userdude 07:42, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not at all a notable actress. It is time we stopped having Wikipedia be an IMDB mirror. This is one of probably at least 10 current nominations of an article that has as its only source IMDb.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:47, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per John Pack Lambert. non-notable issues and unsourced subject. I have no problem removing IMDb as an unreliable reference. The use in the "External links" section, as a back-door reference, does not make the site any less unreliable nor the article any more sourced, since a source must be reliable. It might have worked at one point but not recently that I know of. I don't have a problem with the use of IMDb (especially comtemt from the WGA), just not the inundation of every related article, regardless if the site offers a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article. In other words, the site should not merely repeat information that is already or should be in the article, especially when "user-submitted" content. Otr500 (talk) 01:59, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No Coverage Found! twerk000 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep: The subject has done a substantial amount of voice work—enough to meet WP:NACTOR, in my opinion—but no sources have been identified. Perhaps a relist and more time will result in sources being found, because WP:GNG is certainly not passed at the moment. Dflaw4 (talk) 12:08, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
