The only references listed here mention Hymes in passing. No references have been offered where she is the subject of the coverage. As it stands it fails WP:BIO. Notfrompedro (talk) 21:35, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak Delete~~ this article has been a mess, which we could fix via editing/protection, if there were sources, but as the nom says, the references are passing. They were the sum total of what I could find when I found this in the BLP PROD queue in April. In hindsight, might not have been worth rescuing but I thought there might be some sourcing eventually. So far, not the case. Changed to Keep per Reader's work.Star Mississippi 21:52, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Hymes has voiced characters in major series for many episodes, particularly Pokemon. She's also received coverage for some of her other roles. Now if it were a live action actress I'd be a bit more hesitant, but the issue here is that voice actors typically don't receive the coverage that they would if they were in front of the camera. It's one of the reasons why I wish that there was a slight tweak to the NACTOR guidelines for voice actors. I think that there's enough notability here to warrant at least a weak keep.

Changing to a firmer keep. I've found quite a bit of coverage for her roles in the Lupin and Snow Queen series. This, plus her role in the Pokemon series should be enough to establish notability. There's not a ton of coverage, but we make do with what we can. One note: a common trend with VAs is that often, the reviews will mention their character but not their name. This is kind of an example by what I mean when I say that they don't get the coverage that a "live action" actor would, as they'd often get named alongside the characters they portray.

Weak Keep Meets WP:NACTOR for multiple main roles on TV, as noted above. But it might be problematic for WP:BASIC in terms of actual coverage. LizardJr8 (talk) 19:18, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per above. for roles in significant TV programs. Alex-h (talk) 07:12, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
