  • Delete - Agree with nom completely. Shadowjams (talk) 10:44, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep per WP:BARE - the world of Anime cons is quite large, and the subject has appeared as a guest in at least a few (see [1] and [2]). I think that, based on his touring, he meets WP:CREATIVE. Bearian (talk) 15:07, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Accepted articles for other popular anime voice actors (Monica Rial, Vic Mignogna, Todd Haberkorn) also lack references, and consist mainly of listing the actors' roles. Actor is popular and prolific in the anime community, with guest appearances, interviews, and mentions in the same events and publications as other voice actors, and as such meets the same level of notability requirements. 04:12, 29 December 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.170.178.111 (talk)

  • Why is there a complain about the bio? Even at the time this was nominated, there were links to the guy's official website, confirming the information. More information has been added now. [4] As for as notability, see WP:ENTERTAINER Dream Focus 02:40, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Week keep If this was a Japanese voice actor portraying these roles for the first time, then he would unquestionably pass WP:NACTOR #1. However, the holdup is (1) Solusod is replacing the original Japanese dialog with English dialog. (2) Unlike in Japan where these series was broadcast nationwide, The English language version was released direct-to-video, streaming over the internet, or limited distribution on digital cable and satellite services. For the most part, I like to give the benefit of the doubt because the English-language release do achieve notability one their own through reviews by Anime News Network, Mania.com, and Otaku USA. There is the question of the three interviews. While the interviews are reliable sources for the contents of the interview, the podcasts that conducted the interviews probably will fail WP:SPS. In addition, there is the question of whether the interviews should be treated as first-party or third-party sources. —Farix (t | c) 03:47, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

relisting admin comment. Did anyone find any sources yet? Spartaz Humbug! 09:28, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article already has several sources, though I've added a couple more and moved the others into the filmography section. The three interviews are sources as well, though currently unused. The article isn't an unsourced BLP, if that is what your are hinting at. —Farix (t | c) 17:18, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Article has sources, is notable and therefore should be kept. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:14, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notable films, multiple films that have notability as stated on "entertainers" in WP:Notability (people) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Titlestocga!n (talk • contribs) 04:28, 12 January 2011 (UTC) [reply]

  • weak delete. Found this. One or two more and this would be a "keep". --Ron Ritzman (talk) 04:04, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Do you not believe he meets the requirement at WP:ENTERTAINER? A voice actor is as notable as a regular actor. He didn't just do bit parts in episodes, but main characters as well. Dream Focus 05:48, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
