Was deleted through prod, and then recreated. Working actor, but with no real significant roles, fails WP:NACTOR. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 01:00, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's very hard to say where the article fits here. On one hand, the actor had appeared only in three feature films, and even that was more like a cameo or supporting role. On the other hand, he voiced a video game, and many actors don't have time to do that. My feeling is that if we will delete it - somebody will recreate it, sooner or later.--Filmomusico (talk) 03:44, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. He played a prominent role voice acting in a notable video game, however, that might be his peak role notability-wise, and the rest of his acting in the future might not be as notable that. I would say keep for now, but anything could happen. Waddles 🗩 🖉 05:23, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Nomination is based on the nominator's opinion of whether the subject should be notable rather than any reasoned analysis or review of coverage. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong! (talk) 23:33, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) If his most prominent role was voicing Jesse in The Last of Us Part II, then note that his performance had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. The citations in the article are either unreliable, interviews, or passing mentions. It wouldn't make sense to redirect this name to the game's article. If someone finds more (non-English and offline) sources, please {{ping}} me. czar 05:37, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and WP:SALT. Fails WP:NACTOR. KidAd • SPEAK 21:33, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per Waddles. Oppose bad faith call to salt the article without any compelling evidence to support the assertion. Haleth (talk) 09:58, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I am not seeing a good policy based rationale from the keep voters. With only one significant role to speak of, he clearly fails WP:NACTOR. Further, there is no in depth significant coverage in independent sources. The article substantially relies on interviews in gamer blogs and ezines. However, interviews have historically been discredited as RS at AFD towards SIGCOV because they essentially lack independence. Fails WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 16:38, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
