The result was redirect to Jon Arbuckle. This would probably be a no consensus closure as there is a resonable argument about whether he meets WP:NACTOR or not. However as a BLP where no reliable sources have been produced for verifiability, it cannot be kept, so a redirect to the article on his major role where he is mentioned is the correct closure.

Does not appear to meet notability requirements, either WP:GNG nor as per WP:ACTOR. As a WP:BLP it's completely unsourced. (Note:the article was previously a redirect after the 2008 AFD) (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 18:22, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- No reliable sources, so clearly fails BLP requirements. If sources are provided, he may be sufficiently notable. JoelWhy? talk 18:54, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Voicing one of the two main characters for a 121-episode series would push him over to be notable per WP:ACTOR. There are plenty of references to back up that he atleast did the Garfield TV and film shows. Bgwhite (talk) 21:28, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I could see why a redirect is in order. If he was a musician that was notable for being in one band, this would be a redirect. Huge has done acting for only one character. Another redirect could be good middle ground in this case. Bgwhite (talk) 21:14, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Yeah, I agree with Bgwhite, this article should be kept because the topic IS notable. How? Because his roles were every single Garfield cartoon except Here Comes Garfield and The Garfield Show. Interlude 65 19:36, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect until/unless sources are added to the article, per BLP. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 01:41, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Bgwhite, Thom Huge has NOT voiced only one character; see the article for proof, here. Interlude 65 00:53, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete On the cusp of notability though it's incredibly tenuous and is more based on the recurrence of his role rather than his actual acting career which is minimal at best. Yeah, he's had work within other Garfield productions but that's playing minor roles which isn't exactly unusual within voice acting to do both voice work for a primary role and a few minor one-shots in addition. Sadly playing a character through several productions doesn't mean the actor is notable if that's all they did and the character they played remains relatively obscure. tutterMouse (talk) 20:51, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
