Working voice actor but not notable enough to meet the requirements of WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:BASIC or WP:GNG. Binksternet (talk) 16:37, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Let this page stay. He's a good actor and has a lot of voice over roles. --Rtkat3 (talk) 16:41, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We are not arguing whether he's good at his job, or whether he gets assignments—he is and he does. We're arguing whether he meets Wikipedia guidelines. Binksternet (talk) 17:01, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The only sources that I could find were trivial mentions in closely connected sources, fan sites, and several self-published promotional profiles. If one were to accept that all of the roles listed in the article are authentic, the subject has been very busy. Unfortunately, reliable sources have not taken note.- Mr X 17:11, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NOTABILITY clearly states they are notable if they meet the General Notability Guidelines OR one of the subject specific guidelines. They don't have to do both. Dream Focus 17:30, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:ENTERTAINER as some of his roles have been significant on notable television shows. Dream Focus 17:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you point to sources that support him having any significant roles? I wasn't able to verify any.- MrX 17:33, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - You can look at the article and see which roles are major characters in the various series. Does this character appear in most/all episodes? Then its a significant role. Dream Focus 17:51, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - His work also gets coverage in places. [1] Dream Focus 17:57, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He's been in a whole load of productions many of which have their own articles Gregkaye (talk) 20:19, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As others have said passes WP:ENTERTAINER with major roles played for anime. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:08, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:ENTERTAINER. He has voiced multiple main and/or significant characters using multiple names. To find sources, all names need to be Googled. VMS Mosaic (talk) 00:43, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
