Dino Andrade

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG. Vast majority of GNews hits on his name are pieces regarding his wife's death. Article in its current form is basically just a resume.  Mbinebri  talk &larr; 03:25, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep: Several of Mr. Andrade's voice characters are iconic, from nationally recognized brands ("Pop" in the Rice Crispies ads), top selling video games (Scarecrow in Batman: Arkham Asylum), and/or internationally known game franchises (World of Warcraft). Moreover, the Soulgeek.com dating site he founded is one of the biggest "geek" centered dating sites on the web, boasting more than 15,000 members (See related article: Geeks Gettin’ Lucky? SoulGeek: A Dating Site For Geek Girls & Guys). His first wife's death was a shock and a tragedy in the animation world, which garnered much publicity. Hence, the profusion of articles related to it and the resulting plethora of GNews hits. But this personal tragedy does not preclude the facts that Dino Andrade is a voice actor with major credits to his name and successful web entrepreneur in his own right. He is of more significance than just a notable widower. Article needs to be updated, not deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TweetLvr (talk • contribs) 03:31, 26 October 2011 (UTC)   — TweetLvr (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * I understand your desire to see the article live on, but if he's as notable as you claim, surely appropriate coverage can be found (and no, I don't think geeksofdoom.com quite cuts it).   Mbinebri   talk &larr; 17:18, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * By your logic, Michael Jackson is famous for having botox injections in his crotch and for being dead (such are the search results one gets for Googling the man's name). Andrade's works are notable enough, I think, to merit this entry. --Hullubulloo (talk) 21:44, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * By my logic, Michael Jackson is notable because a massive number of sources over several decades can be found on him.   Mbinebri   talk &larr; 12:32, 28 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep: It is acknowledged that this article needs additional content and references, but should not be deleted. I would cite many of the same reasons as the previous vote for the entry that Mr. Andrade is a notable figure within the voice acting community, as well as owner of a popular dating website.Aaron Matthew Kaiser (talk) 04:22, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: I can't say more other than to echo the previous sentiments, but Mr. Andrade is a prominent and active voiceover artist in addition to his notable accomplishments with SoulGeek. His career more than warrants its own page, and to delete it would be a grievous error. — Preceding unsigned comment added byAdam Rebottaro (talk) 09:25, 26 October 2011 (UTC) — Darkseider (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep: Dino's work is varied, interesting and important enough to justify his entry. --Hullubulloo (talk) 21:45, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * This is an WP:ILIKEIT argument.   Mbinebri   talk &larr; 12:32, 28 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep: Dino is a well known and popular Voice Actor, ask any Warcraft player what they feel about dino's work. Since everyone likes to quote Professor Putricide. --Gothicshark (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 21:02, 28 October 2011 (UTC).   — Gothicshark (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Relisting comment: I'm relisting due to lack of policy-based arguments


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Salvio  Let's talk about it! 11:14, 30 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep The GNG is set to guide on notability when we have SIGCOV. The SNGs are set to guide on notability when SIGCOV is lacking. Both are parts of WP:N and are not intended as mutually exclusionary. In meeting WP:CREATIVE and WP:V, the results of his creative efforts have themselves been the recipients of commentary in multiple reliable sources. And the fellow IS written about in multiple sources, and so we DO have a strong push at SIGCOV as well. Perceived article issues are addressable and do not mandate deletion.
