Keep and fix as a voice artist who has been coverered in multiple reliable sources. While I agree that the nominated version suffered from poor format and misunderstanding of ELs as citations, looking further I found that he is spoken about directly and in detail in what appears to be numerous relibale sources. Many are found archived on his own website,[1], and even a few in G-news.[2] but we have enough there to award our searches. Since his work is verifiable[3] and the article can be improved, perhaps better for the project that we do so. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:36, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The hits on Google News appear to be about completely different Steve Mackalls. What do you suggest it be improved with? The sources that are obviously about someone else? The primary sources? The sources that verify only his roles and literally nothing else? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:55, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I looked and in ignoring false positives, I was convinced by what I found when searching the man's name in conjunction with asserted works. I have real world concerns at the moment, but will return and fix up the article a bit later. Cheers. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:18, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Mackall is the subject of the LA Times, LA Weekly, and Plain Dealer pieces, so at a minimum he satisfies WP:GNG. Gongshow ^Talk 04:33, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
