 * Keep Has verifiably significant roles in multiple notable productions (Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Aqua Teen Hunger Force). Therefore passes WP:ENT.  Jujutacular  T · C 16:29, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep: Passes WP:ENT. Joe Chill (talk) 20:16, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Quite impressive body of work. Meets WP:ENT.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 13:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete There are no sources here at all. Yappy2bhere (talk) 21:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, Yappy2bhere... but lack of sources in an article is a matter for correction, not deletion. Rotten Tomatoes, Variety, NNDB, NME Online Magazine, Voicechasers Database, Outside In, Journal News, Inbaseline, Boxxet, DVD AF, Retroland, Popmatters, International Animated Film Association of Atlanta, et al, all offer WP:V toward his body of work meeting WP:ENT. Per WP:ATD its worth improving... not deleting.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:51, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking the time to improve the article by adding those references to it. So many editors are quick with an opinion, but slow to do the work. Yappy2bhere (talk) 00:13, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, and thank you so much for improving the article and adding them yourself. Its so refreshing when editors do something more proactive than simply commenting on others' comments.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:22, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Statements without sources are original research, Michael. This is a biography; please support your additions with reliable references. Yappy2bhere (talk) 05:34, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * RottenTomatoes is a reprint of the Wikipedia article. Ditto for NME Online Magazine. Your Variety reference is a search result, not a reference, but if you follow the first link to his profile he's credited with one (1) voice performance. The Outside In page contains nothing about Croker. Neither does Journal News. DVD AF credits him as a director, which appears to be an error. The International Animated Film Association of Atlanta page advertises a performance. The rest appear agree that Croker has had three minor voice-over roles, including a recurring 10-second gag at the beginning of a 15-minute late-night animated series.
 * In the future, don't copy URLs and claim them as references without actually reading the text. Yappy2bhere (talk) 01:21, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you felt the need to scold me and point out my deficiencies, but I've been editing for a little longer than three months and have a few more than 300 edits, and do know how to improve an article... having actually done so a couple times.
 * Rather than you continuing to denigate another editor, It might be more helpful if you actually spoke toward Croker's having voiced 48 episodes of Space Ghost Coast to Coast from 1994 through 2004, 41 episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force from 2000 throgh 2003, 29 episodes of The Brak Show from 2000 through 2003, 7 episodes of Perfect Hair Forever from 2004 through 2007... his being a cel animator for 97 episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force from 2001 through 2009... and his being animation director for 91 episodes of Space Ghost Coast to Coast from 1994 through 2004... and share how it is that you believe his body of work does not meet the criteria of WP:ENT.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:44, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Put it back in your pants, Michael. If I'd known how experienced you were, I wouldn't have called it carelessness. I see one source in the article and a whole lot of Wikipedia links, and Wikipedia is a tertiary source. Yappy2bhere (talk) 09:52, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Please review wikilinks... a part of the Manual of Style.   Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 17:09, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * To what end? Yappy2bhere (talk) 00:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - appears to satisfy WP:ENTERTAINER based on his work in voice acting, etc.  Cocytus   [»talk«]  04:03, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
