 * Delete – I found one very incidental mention (for The Nut Job) in Variety – that only establishes he was in the cast of that film – and no other coverage at all in publications like THR, LA Times or Deadline Hollywood. There seems to be an assumption among some that all a voice actor needs to do is be the cast of a few TV shows and movies, and they'll automatically meet WP:BASIC – not so! In fact, voice actors generally receive much less coverage that live-action actors, so the bar for them to justify standalone articles is actually higher than normal, because technically meeting WP:NACTOR #1 often still won't qualify them under WP:BASIC. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:41, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
