Pile (voice actress)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Some Random actress who was an amazing ONE role and some CDs. Does not meet WP:NACTOR. Does not meet Wikipedia:General notability guideline. It was super hypocritical to say a Black actress with multiple famous rules was not notable and try to censor her article while making an article on a Japanese actress with ONE role. I guess she's super "Kawaii Desu"… MayVenn (talk) 01:59, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2014 October 5. —cyberbot I ^Notify_Online 02:25, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - so this is a pointy nomination in retaliation for what? It was opened a minute after another of your AFDs leaving no time for WP:BEFORE (obviously). Why shouldn't this just be closed? St★lwart¹¹¹ 03:15, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Stalwart111 This user has been nominating a lot of articles I've worked on for deletion just now, now I see why: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danièle Watts. Obviously I don't have an issue with this being closed, but in fairness the nomination doesn't seem made without thought, her notability isn't flat-on-its-face obvious. Other users have made the mistake of thinking she's had only one role, in Love Live!. However, she has two main roles in video games as well (WP:NACTOR met) and very minor live-action roles, plus some music releases that have been on the Oricon charts (WP:MUSBIO met, I think), and I hope the sources amount to significant independent coverage. —innotata 03:39, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. WP:MUSICBIO (2). She released a solo album as the character Maki Nishikino from Love Live!, and it charted [1]. --Moscow Connection (talk) 05:03, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am not a fan of the way the nomination was made but there are enough issues here that it is a concern that there are so many non-English sources. If what is being said is that there are no other English sources of the same validity and then we have about 100% non-English sources, it seems to indicate that the subject does not pass the threshold of our standard. She may be notable in Japan...is that enough for an article on the English Wikipedia? That's a real question. I truly don't know.--Mark Miller (talk) 07:22, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-English sources are not an issue, notability does not have to be in English-speaking countries, and there are a number of English sources. She meets the notability guidelines for musicians (album that charted) and actors (multiple significant roles). There aren't any other issues that have been raised, so are you sure you're commenting on the right AfD? —innotata 07:34, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
