This page has been deleted once via BLPPROD and once upon my A7 (no assertion of notability) nomination. This time, I'd say it's pretty much on the border between AfD and CSD (as in I'm sure there are some admins who'd delete it, and some who'd reject a speedy nomination), but I figure once a page has been created three times, it's time for the community to decide if we want it or not. So: Does not meet any of the WP:CREATIVE criteria. Fairly minor role on a fairly obscure show, and no substantive coverage in reliable sources, as far as I could find. — Francophonie&Androphilie^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 18:01, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also: According to my Twinkle CSD log, the previous article was created by Joshvs (talk · contribs). As this was a month ago, I don't remember it very well, so, without meaning to cast any aspersions on Traptor12 (talk · contribs), who created this version of the article, would an admin mind comparing the Traptor copy to the Josh one? It's quite possible that it's a coincidence, but it's probably best to clear that up before we go any further. Thanks. — Francophonie&Androphilie^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 18:07, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response to request It's not a direct copy, the entire contents of the Joshvs version was "Sam Marin is a voice actor in the United States. He is best known for his roles of Benson,Pops and MuscleMan on Regular Show. He co-stared in The Native Man from Lolyland and 2 in the AMPM. He voices other characters in Regular Show.", no cats/tables/etc. --j⚛e decker ^talk 20:42, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would suggest that it was worth discussing whether editors felt that salting the article (if it is deleted) was or was not appropriate. In closing AfDs, I have often found that such suggestions come late, and earlier commenters don't have an opportunity to notice/discuss whether that option is appropriate. Discussion on this point will be helpful to the closer in case of deletion. --j⚛e decker ^talk 20:45, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment All I wanted to do was to mke Sam Marin's Wikipidea page since everyone of the cast of Regular Show has one, plus he voices three of the main characters so he has mad skills. I tried to make the page simple and complatly different from the old page but the only problem was that I had no idea what the old page looked like. I am just saying this to beg the people of Wikipidea to not delete Sam Marin's page. From User:Traptor12 18:30, 10 December 2012

Comment Hi Traptor12. I've tried to put some information about Wikipedia's notability and reliable sources guidelines on your talk page, but I'm not sure if you've seen it there, so I'm leaving a note here, too. If you can provide sources Wikipedia considers reliable for the material in the article, you will have a much easier time convincing editors here that the article meets those guidelines, and as a result be kept. This isn't personal, and I hope you will review the information I provided, if necessary, talk to some other uninvolved editors at the Teahouse, and so on. Wikipedia can be a frustrating place until you understand some of those guidelines, so I hope that the information I've provided proves helpful. Drop a note on my talk page if I can be of more assistance. Cheers, --j⚛e decker ^talk 16:48, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete As there is a lack of reliable sources that demonstrate notability. I didn't feel that removing the wikia links were necessary since this is probably going away anyway. Many voice actors don't pass notability because they literally don't get the face time and aren't recognizable, and not covered. Only the characters are.

Redirect to Regular Show, which appears to be what he is primarily known for. A standalone article isn't justified. --Michig (talk) 08:45, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
