This was nominated for deletion in 2005, and seems to have just been a keep. Since then, nothing of any real substance has been added to the article, and there are no sources at all. I couldn't find anything to demonstrate this person is at all notable. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 13:39, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: I followed the link in the middle of the piece - it seemed to go to an abandoned blog post. Unless there is any evidence that this blog has achieved notability (or John Oppliger himself) it's a clear delete.  Chriscook54321 (talk) 09:44, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I found an interview with him on Anime News Network, but other than that I failed to find enough significant coverage. Nevertheless, the ANN link could be a useful source should the article be kept. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:58, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to AnimeNation, if it lives, otherwise Delete. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:52, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to AnimeNation, since he is mentioned there. While Anime News Network has conducted a couple interviews with him, I think the coverage is more of AnimeNation than of him as an individual, and coverage of him from one source wouldn't be sufficient for a separate article anyway.
