Emma Tate

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested PROD. "WP:N, WP:V. While Ms. Tate's voice work certainly is present in a number of credits, there's no reliable independent sources that I can find that provide more than a byline (Searches via Gweb, Gnews, Gbooks)."

(If you can find appropriate WP:RS to verify and establish notability for this voice actress, of course those of us at the BLP Rescue Squad would appreciate your help! --  j &#9883; e decker  talk  18:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak keep per verifiable career meeting WP:ENT. Commonness of name will make expansion and sourcing difficult, but do we toss because it may take a little work?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment First, I agree with you (as nom) that "need to do work" is not (and should not be) a deletion criteria. Second, it's my understanding that IMDB is not generally considered a WP:RS because of the inclusion of unverified data, although I don't believe this is entirely unanimously accepted at WP:RSN, you'll have no trouble finding discussions on that point. So, while I was the editor who added IMDB to the external links section, based on concerns about the reliability of IMDB as a source I wasn't willing to use it to establish verifiability (nor of course does it go towards notability.) --  j &#9883; e decker  talk  14:52, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The individual's career can be verified through the works themselves. But yes, being listed in the IMDB does not confer notability. This individual has such a common name that online searches give many false positives. Digging through them all will take a great deal of time and effort. I'll see what I might do to assist later today.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 20:52, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Awesome. I'm travelling (responding from Chicago Midway airport), or I'd revisit this, I did spend a fair bit of time looking, but as I tried to indicate, if an article can be reliably sourced, I'm thrilled to save it.  Cheers!  --  j &#9883; e decker  talk  21:59, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:11, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm all for using IMDB as a source for uncontroversial info, but it can never be the only source for an article, especially not a BLP. With no other coverage I can't see how this is going to meet the notability guidelines, although I'll happily change my !vote if someone finds something useful.
