Foreign language voice cast of The Simpsons

I don't think this article should stay on the English Wikipedia. The article is the similar case of already-deleted List of Smallville Korea voice actors. JSH-alive 13:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete If the voice actors are notable then they should have their own articles with a link to The Simpsons. This isn't needed. Nicko (Talk•Contribs) 13:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to Foreign language versions of The Simpsons or something like that. The article isn't just a list of actors (which I would vote to delete); it has a lot of content about character renaming and such that is worth keeping, in my opinion. Propaniac 17:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep and rename per Propaniac; this is more than a cast list, it's more of a foreign language versions article. I have little doubt that sufficient WP:RSes can be found to establish the notability of The Simpsons' foreign language versions, so meets WP:N. A quick check of French and Spanish Wikipedia articles shows that most of the voice actors are blue linked (i.e., notable). Note: this article also exists in Portuguese and Gallego.

 * Keep. reasonable topic, big, referenced article. `'Míkka 18:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, essential topic to ensure a worldwide view, the rename sounds good. More out-of-universe than most Simpsons articles. We need more articles like this one.-- Nydas (Talk) 10:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename per Propaniac's suggestion per Liftarn's modification (below) of Propaniac's suggestion, since this article is not only about the actors. Nicko's contention that "If the voice actors are not notable then they should have their own articles" flies in the face of WP:N which states, Notability guidelines give guidance on whether a topic is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia as a separate article, but do not specifically regulate the content of articles, which is governed by other guidelines such as those on using reliable sources and on handling trivia. The particular topics and facts within an article are not each required to meet the standard of the notability guidelines. It's not required that each fact stated within an article be independently notable, so long as the overall article topic is notable. This is a notable topic which also serves Wikipedia's commitment to address notable issues affecting places other than in the English-speaking world. --Yksin 16:43, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename, per Propaniac. --Chicaneo 22:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to something like Non-English versions of The Simsons ("Foreign" is a word to avoid). Note: The article isn't just a list of the voice actors, but also the cultural changes made. Like that in the Canadian version Apu is Arabic. // Liftarn
 * Comment. I've modified my "vote" to rename it in accords with Liftarn's suggestion: agreed that it should be "non-English" rather than "foreign." --Yksin 16:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
