Akane Omae

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:BIO. No significant coverage and all voice roles listed are minor and secondary parts, with most characters not even notable enough to be listed in their series articles. All ELs links are standard directory links in which almost every voice actor of any licensed series appears. Wikipedia is not a directory and it is not not a mirror of ANN, IMBD, or any other voice actor directory listing and this list does nothing more than replicate what those site have. Without reliable sources or significant coverage anywhere about this person, it is likely that this article will never more than it is now. Declined speedy. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 16:46, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I am not yet voting, but I believe the article can at least expand in coverage based on the Japanese Wikipedia entry. Investigation should probably reveal some devoted articles from reliable sources; unfortunately, they will probably be in Japanese. -Verdatum (talk)

 * Keep, seems notable enough. Stifle (talk) 19:50, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: As Verdatum notes, the jawiki article does seem to show a rather extensive body of work, including major roles and a good singing career, almost none of which is reflected in our article. If someone with Japanese skills could summarize, it'd help with evaluating this AfD. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:27, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. This actress plays main characters in Mahou Sensei Negima/Negima?! and Hamtaro. Anime News Network and Internet Movie Database are reliable sources. And the Japanese Wikipedia is more complete. This article needs more work, not deletion. Zero Kitsune (talk) 01:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per Zerokitsune. Expansion, not deletion, is the clear remedy... Ranma9617 (talk) 05:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
